To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Had they been placed correctly, and more boldly turned, the chair would be desirable. This chair is shown to indicate what to avoid and to point out what to seek. Date: Middle period. Occurrence: Not very unusual. Owned by Wallace Nutting, Cutler-Bartlet House, 32 Green St. , Newburyport, Mass. Lost Examples Several varieties of Windsors are either entirely lost or exist only as unique pieces. Good "love seats" are extremely rare, and none that is of the best type is known to remain. The same m...ay be said of six-legged settees. Only one or two perfectly shaped eight- and ten-leggers remain. Absolutely satisfactory writing chairs there may be, but prob- ably they are so only in the opinion of their owners. The perfect four-back chair has never been shown in museums. It may exist. When two hundred dollars was recently offered and declined for a very fine settee one may be sure such pieces stand practically alone. Fine footstools and high stools are extremely rare. A set of six curved-stretcher side chairs is being held for three hundred dollars.
