FURNITURE
OF
THE OLDEN TIME
BY
FRANCES CLARY MORSE
NEW EDITION
With a New Chapter and Many New Illustrations
“How much more agreeable it is to sit in the midst of old furniture likeMinott’s clock, and secretary and looking-glass, which have come down fromother generations, than amid that which was just brought from the cabinet-maker’s,smelling of varnish, like a coffin! To sit under the face of an oldclock that has been ticking one hundred and fifty years—there is somethingmortal, not to say immortal, about it; a clock that begun to tick when Massachusettswas a province.”
H. D. Thoreau, “Autumn.”
