The early New Englanders sat in their homes on stools and forms, and very rarely on chairs. It is not so easy to know of Dutch furnishings, for the words _stoel_ and _setel_ and _banck_, which are found in early inventories, all mean a chair, but also may not have meant in colonial days what we now designate as a chair. A _stoel_ was really a seat of any kind; and _stoels_ there were in plenty among the first settlers. As Cowper says: “Necessity invented stools, Convenience next suggested elbow-chairs, And Luxury the accomplished Sofa last.” In this natural succession came the seats of the colonists. The leather chairs with double rows of nails--in Captain Kidd’s list--were a very substantial and handsome piece of furniture. Tables there were in all houses, and looking-glasses in all well-to-do homes. The stands of Captain Kidd were small tables. The carpets named after the tables were doubtless table-covers. The early use of the word was always a cover for a table.
