(Excerpted from Chairs: a history by Florence de Dampierre ©2006 p. 84) "Since in both Europe and America historically so many people have been poor, stools are more common than any other item of furniture. Stools not only varied in size, from four to eighteen inches in height, but also in the range of functions they were required to fulfill. They were versatile; a larger one might be used as a table. This is demonstrated in Ireland by Andrew M'Kenzie's poetic inventory of 1807 in 'The Poor Man's Petition':
Three stools, one larger than the rest
Our table when we have a guest." -
