To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


The Cappuccini strongly resemble the Fran- ciscans in dress and appearance, and may in fact be the same order^ excepting in name. Adjoining their church (which is visited principally for the masterpiece of Guide, the Archangel Michael casting down Satan) is a very curious cemetery^, consisting of four rooms, each room containing Digitized by VjOOQIC BOMAN CANDLES AND BOMAN LIGHTS^ ETC. 75> in the centre a square of earth, carefully divided into portions resembling flower-beds, raked over and we
...eded with the greatest care ; round the walls of these rooms are grottoes and rock work,, but looking narrowly you perceive that the whole ornamentation is formed of human bones and skulls artistically arranged; lamps swing from the roof, but the lamps are made of bones and supported by long strings of arm and leg bonea threaded like beads. The same long strings of bones form festoons and patterns on the ceilings, and in one room the entire skeleton of a child devoted to the order — ^I think either of the Medici or Borghese family — affixed to the ceiling forms the centre of a very elaborate design in bonework, and in every one of the numerous grottoes sur- rounding each room reclines a skeleton monk in gown and cowl.
