To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They built and endowed churches and erected elaborate and costly shrines and altars. They made collections of paintings, marbles, bronzes and curios of a thousand kinds. Some of these things they could cause to be brought from other countries, and those thus obtained, especially if rare, costly, and unobtainable by others, acquired thereby an added honor' giving power. For to the desire to do and to possess things which gave them distinction in the eyes of the populace, was added the desire to ...outdo their wealthy and powerful rivals in the pursuit of that same distinction. Thus far the case of the Italian aristo' crats runs parallel with that of our own. Here and today the wealthy are impelled, first, to distingnish themselves from the common, poorer people by conspicuous con' sumption and conspicuous waste and, next, to outdo their equals in wealth by the acquisition of costly and curious objects, so rare that their colleagues in wealth can not acquire the counterparts thereof.
AMERICAN ART The use of wealth in enhancing distinc- tion has followed a like custom with Italian noble and rich American.
