The practical book of furnishing the small house and apartment . f still terming asRenaissance a decoration in which the old spirit had ceasedto be the impulse, the folly of attempting to fit the one no-menclature to two movements totally diverse in ideals, meansemployed, and results, the one Classic and the other emo-tional and Romantic, will now appear. But in two respects, there was no great change—thoseof size and weight; and so important are these, that, not-withstanding many other variations, the pieces of furnitureof the two impulses are oftener than not found agreeably toaccompany each other, while those of later and lighter per-iods do not usually assimilate with either. In England the epoch is divided into the Elizabethanand the Jacobean periods, the latter so called because it em-braced the years from the beginning of the reign of James Itill the end of that of James II. But other reigns and thePuritan Commonwealth intervened, and the latter portionof this epoch was under the Baroque influence. Thechronology is as follows:— PLATE io8.
