“There is no country in which so absolute a homage is paid to wealth. In America there is a touch of shame when a man exhibits the evidences of large property, as if after all it needed apology.

A coarse logic rules throughout all English souls: if you have merit, can you not show it by your good clothes and coach and horses?”
