Book excerpt: The study of old silver usually begins when the inquiring possessor of the family plate sets himself the task of ascertaining the date and the probable value of some piece long in his family and possibly lately bequeathed to him. With old china, and probably with old furniture, the taste for collecting is oftentimes an acquired one, but it is in the Englishman's blood to ruminate over his old plate, and the hallmarks of the assay offices in London and in the provinces, in Scotland and in Ireland, have been placed thereon with aforethought. The plate closet is cousin to the strong-box, inasmuch as the coin of the realm and gold and silver plate have been subjected to stringent laws extending over a period of five hundred years. The technical word "hallmark" has become a common term in the language synonymous with genuineness. The strictest supervision, under the parental eye of the law, has upheld the dignity of the silversmith's guarantees. Hence the pride of possession of old silver. Pictures and furniture and engravings whose ancestry is doubtful thrust themselves in the market without fear of the watchful official eye. But old silver bearing the hallmarks of ancient and honorable guilds of silversmiths, stamped at the accredited assay offices, is, with few exceptions, what it purports to be. It is a proud record and a splendid heritage. It is, therefore, the author's hope that this volume will stand as an authoritative outline history of the subject of which it treats, that it may point the way to possessors of old silver to arrive at sound conclusions as to their heirlooms, and that it may indicate to collectors the salient features of their hobby.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handful of Silver: Six Stories of Silversmiths Dear Mr. Holbrook: The Eighteenth Century author felt his book incomplete wanting a dedication to bis patron. A custom worth adopting, it seems to me, if for patron I may substitute friend. In this case you have a peculiar title to the trifling courtesy. In the first place it was at your suggestion that these stories were written. In the second, you yourself have written, in words more enduring than mine, the story which should fitly close the series and exhibit to us the silver worker of our own day. In this utilitarian age of clanking machinery and mechanical repetition you have in the heart of a great factory kept alight the flickering flame of artistic bandicraftsmanship. To-day, thanks mainly to you, there are at Providence many hundreds who put into daily practice, as they handle that elder brother of all useful metals, silver, the precise methods and technical devices employed by my Mysian fashioner of shields, by my Egyptian Neku, by Cellini the Italian, by Hans the son of medieval Nuremberg, and by Master Paul Revere of Boston town.

Lift up your wills, my children, The higher things are yours; The foot-path and the sheep-track, And then the open moors: For on those toilsome uplands Are Visions that you love, And they behold life's noblest That seek the things above. Lift up your thoughts, my children, Where wheeling curlews pass. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
