Note 23 — TURNER AND RUSKIN.
Reading edition
In 1861 was published The Life of J.M.W. Turner, R.A., founded on letters and papers furnished by his friends and Fellow Academicians; by Walter Thornbury. In a more recent work, Haunted London (1865), Mr. Thornbury has himself passed judgment upon his Life of Turner, pronouncing it to be 'a careless book, but still containing much curious, authentic, and original anecdote.'
