http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/270865170

Praising a paper of Patmore but denying that he (Ruskin) is "fit to write an essay on Religious art," calling the Spanish painters "a thoroughly irreligious [the letter "ir" in "irreligious" underlined] rascally set" but praising Velasquez as "a noble painter [the word "painter" underlined]: a great man"; and recommending some passages from his own Modern Painters which Patmore may not have seen.
