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.

Excerpt from The Silver Buckle: A Story of the Revolutionary Days "And what delights can equal those That stir the spirit's inner deeps, When one that loves but knows not, reaps A truth from one that loves and knows?" - Tennyson. It is natural to take pleasure in recollections of the past, and to feel an interest in prophecies of the future. The old man delights in every opportunity to begin a tale, "When I was young," or to show his wisdom by foretelling how things will be "twenty years from now." The child makes countless plans that begin with the words, "When I am big" and listens eagerly to stories of things that happened long ago. This natural instinct is fostered and encouraged by Memory and Imagination. Is it any wonder that, in the early stages of civilization, when life's horizon was small, the history and the literature of a people were preserved by tradition only? My grandmother was one of those blessed persons who have the ability to tell interesting stories to the young. In my early child hood she began with the old nursery rhymes and jingles; then she advanced to fables and fairy tales; then came ballads of war and love; and lastly, in the dawning years of my womanhood, she told me many adventures and romances of real life. All her stories were of the purest character, and were told with dramatic fervor, tone and gesture responding to sentiment. She repeated a story for the twentieth time with the same patient exactness that she had shown at first, and I listened with the same inspiring attention.
