Summary

[Bibliographical Note.–St. Mark's Rest was originally published in parts, and afterwards in a collected volume.

IN PARTS

The first publication was in six parts, crown 8vo, issued (uniform with the parts of Mornings in Florence) in “leatherette” covers of a bright maroon colour, lettered in gold upon the front, with edges cut and gilt. The price of each part was 1s., except of that containing the Appendix, which was 2s. The parts were as follow:–

Part I. (1877).–Issued on April 25 (3000 copies), containing Half-title, pp. i.–ii.; Title-page, pp. iii.–iv.; Preface (here pp. 203–205), pp. v.–viii., and Chapters I.–III., pp. 1–40. There is no imprint. The title-page is:–

St. Mark's Rest. | The History of Venice | Written for the help of the few travellers who | still care for her monuments. | By | John Ruskin, LL.D., | Honorary Student of Christ Church, | and Slade Professor of Fine Art, Oxford. | Part I. | George Allen, | Sunnyside, Orpington, Kent. | 1877.

The cover is lettered “St. Mark's Rest | Part I. | I. The Burden of Tyre. | II. Latrator Anubis. | III. St. James of the Deep Stream. | Ruskin.”

A second edition of this part (1000 copies) was issued in January 1884; a third (1430 copies) was issued in June 1889; and a fourth (30 copies) in December 1894. Part I. is now (1906) out of print.
