THE following chapters on the history and character of Household. Furniture, originally published in Harper's Bazar are reprinted at the solicitation of many readers, with some additions and emendations. While admitting inevitable deficiencies, it is but just to say that they have been compiled with care and research, much time has passed in their preparation, and almost every known authority has been consulted — the resources of the Congressional Library, directed by the great learning of its librarian, having been placed at the disposal of the writer during the study of the subject.
