This document discusses an essay by John Ruskin addressing members of the Working Men's Institute in Camberwell. It summarizes Ruskin's key points about different types of labor. Ruskin distinguishes between idle rich/poor and working classes, intellectual vs manual labor, rough work suited for rough men vs gentle work for gentlemen, and wise labor that is fair, useful and cheerful vs foolish labor. Ruskin's overall message is that both kinds of work should be done properly and willingly.
