Abstract
1819 (8 Feb) John Ruskin is born at 54 Hunter Street, Brunswick Square, London, the only child of Margaret (née Cock) Ruskin and John James Ruskin, a partner in the firm of Ruskin, Telford and Domecq, purveyors of sherry. Within months the proud mother writes to her husband of their infant, ‘Were he Son to a king more care could not be taken of him and he every day gives proof of possessing quickness, memory and observation not quite common at his age.’
