The teachings of Unto This Last (a book by John Ruskin) I understood to be:
1. that the good of the individual is contained in the good of all;
1. that the good of the individual is contained in the good of all;
2. that a lawyer’s work has the same value as the barber’s in as much all have the same right of earning their livelihood from their work;
3. that a life of labour, i.e. the life of the tiller of the soil and the handicraftsman is the life worth living.
The first of these I knew. The second I had dimly realized. The third had never occurred to me. Unto This Last made it clear as daylight for me that the second and third were contained in the first.
I arose with the dawn ready to reduce these principles to practice.
