Excerpt from The Goldsmith's Handbook: Containing Full Instructions for the Alloying and Working of Gold
Having been frequently applied to by gold-workers and others, with reference to certain difficulties relating to their trade, which they were unable to overcome mechanically, the idea presented itself to the mind of the Author, that a work practically treating on the "Uses and Applications of Gold," having special regard to the business of the goldsmith and jeweller, would be a useful auxiliary to the artificer also, by affording him a constant means for consultation and instruction.
