Crisp hardcover.; "Time and Tide consists of Ruskin's published letters to his friend Thomas Dixon, a cork cutter.

As a sequel to Unto this Last (1860), Ruskin outlines responsibilities for workers in an ideal society, finding ample opportunity to inveigh against the real society surrounding him." - Dinah Birch, Francis O'Gorman; Ruskin and Gender, page 165. ; 210 pages .
