But at Rome the greatness of other works overshadows it, and the great press of business and engagements turns the crowd from the contemplation of such things; for the admiration of works of art belongs to those who have leisure and great quiet.” Footnote 179: See Appendix, note 53. Footnote 180: Plinius, xxxvi. sect. 4. Footnote 181: Geschichte der Kunst, part ii. p. 347. Footnote 182: Lib. xxxvi. sect. 4. Footnote 183: See Appendix, note 54. Footnote 184: Prefatio Edit.
