If we visit any royal or princely abode of the Merovingian period, we observe that the display of wealth consists much less in the elegance or in the originality of the forms devised for articles of furniture, than in the profusion of precious materials employed in their fabrication and embellishment.
However, we will make the attempt, and, the frame being given, will do our best to fill in the picture. Proposing rapidly to pursue our archæological and literary course through a twofold period of birth and revival, we cannot indulge the belief that we shall succeed in exhibiting our sketches in a light the best adapted to their effect. It transformed, perhaps and it perfected, rather than invented but it displayed in its works a genius so peculiar that we generally recognise in it a real creation.
Society in the Middle Ages-that social epoch which may be compared to the state of a decrepid and worn-out old man, who, after a long, dull torpor awakes to new life, like an active and vigorous child-society in the Middle Ages inherited much from preceding times, though, to a certain extent, they were disconnected. This, briefly stated, is an explanation-we admit, rather concise-of the transition connecting the characteristics of the society of olden days with those of modern society. Again, when, in their turn, the semi-barbarous hordes of Germany and of the Northern steppes invaded the Roman empire, these new conquerors did not fail to accommodate themselves instinctively to the social condition of the vanquished. Thus, the Romans brought with them into Gaul what they elsewhere had acquired. But when they had subjugated Gaul, and had carried their victorious arms to the confines of the world, they by degrees appropriated whatever the manners and habits of the conquered nations disclosed to them of refined luxury, material progress, and ingenious devices for comfort. Originally, and long subsequent to the formation of their warlike republic, the Romans had also lived in contempt of display, and even in ignorance of the conveniences of life. A people essentially addicted to war and hunting,-at the best, agriculturists,-having for their temples the forests, for their dwellings huts formed out of turf and thatched with straw and branches, would naturally be indifferent to the form and description of their furniture.
