Built Like a Fine Piano
ALL WORKS OF TASTE MUST BEAR A PRICE
IN PROPORTION TO THE SKILL, TASTE, TIME,
EXPENSE AND RISK ATTENDING THEIR
INVENTION OR MANUFACTURE. THOSE
THINGS CALLED DEAR ARE, WHEN JUSTLY
ESTIMATED, THE CHEAPEST; THEY ARE AT-
TENDED WITH MUCH LESS PROFIT TO THE
ARTIST THAN THOSE WHICH EVERYBODY
CALLS CHEAP. BEAUTIFUL FORMS AND
COMPOSITIONS ARE NOT MADE BY CHANCE
NOR CAN THEY EVER, IN ANY MATERIAL, BE
MADE AT SMALL EXPENSE. A COMPOSITION
FOR CHEAPNESS, AND NOT FOR EXCELLENCE
OF WORKMANSHIP, IS THE MOST FREQUENT
AND CERTAIN CAUSE FOR THE RAPID
DECAY AND ENTIRE DESTRUCTION
OF ARTS AND MANUFACTURES
