"This slim volume presents all the available information about the American colonial silversmiths who chose to leave the republic for what was still British north America. Incorporating the results of years of thorough search, it completes the account of thirty-nine men whose lives have been recorded only, if at all, in previous publications. Thus the book is a most welcome and valuable addition to the literature of antique silver" -- foreward.
