There, two thousand feet above sea-level, basking in the morning sun, and looking always over the broad valley of the Arve at Mont Blanc and its panorama, are country retreats of the modem Genevese, beneath the old mother-castle ' of S...avoy ': and there, with its shady little garden and rustic summer-house, is the chalet, or cottage omie, where Mr. Ruskin went into hermitage, and wrote his ' Political Economy.'
