PREFACE

Having been frequently applied to by goldworkers
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.
From an intimate connection with this craft
or art, of a very practical nature, extending over
a period bordering upon twenty years ; and having
held during nearly the whole of that time a
position of trust and responsibility with several
leading manufacturing firms ; also from his experience
as a jeweller's manager, he is not only
enabled to place before the reader the results of
his own personal experience, but also that of others
who have been under his direction and control.
And further, having given considerable attention
to the intricacies of the trade generally, he has,
as a natural consequence—in common with others
—met with many difficulties connected with it;
besides other obstacles which are to be found in
the path of the younger craftsmen. These however
have been ultimately overcome by the exercise
of patience, careful observation, and perseverance.
To guide, therefore, the workman and young
apprentice, and, as far as possible, to prevent
them from experiencing similar perplexities by
pointing out their chief causes and the remedies,
as well as to supply some additional information
which will, it is hoped, contribute both to their efficiency
and advancement, is the aim of the writer...
