The Author was led to undertake the present work from having had many opportunities, during his lengthened experience in the art of silver-working, of observing the difficulties and stumbling-blocks that are constantly to be met with in the manifold branches of this important trade, by those <i>practically</i> engaged in it, and also by those persons who are desirous of acquiring a <i>thorough</i> knowledge of the mechanical and manipulative details belonging to it. To assist his object, numerous illustrations have been prepared for this Treatise, with the view of rendering the various processes of the art more readily comprehensible, and to save a lengthened or detailed description of them.</p> <p>The different modes of alloying and melting silver; its solders; the preparation of imitation alloys; methods of working; the prevention of <span class="pagenum"><a name="Pagevi" id="Pagevi">» vi «</a></span> waste; instructions for improving and finishing the surface of "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" 8 the work, together with other useful information and memoranda&mdash;all these have been carefully collected and placed in order in the body of the work.</p> <p>The Author has endeavoured, throughout, to present the contents (which he has with some little difficulty and labour brought together) in as practical and readable a form as is compatible with accuracy and efficiency.</p> <p class="tdr2">G.

GEE.</p> <p class="caption2"><a name="PREFACETOTHESECONDEDITION" id="PREFACETOTHESECONDEDITION">PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.</a></p> <p>Since the publication of the first edition of this work important changes have taken place in the commercial value of silver, its present cost in the best markets being sixpence per ounce lower than it was when this volume first appeared in 1877. This depreciation in value has, of course, necessitated a thorough revision of the former prices of the various alloys, solders, and other substances mentioned throughout the work; and this has been done in order to render it the more complete as a work of general reference, conveying correct and useful information to the reader. The Author trusts that his endeavours in this direction will be appreciated.</p> <p> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class="smcap">58, Tenby St.

UPCOTT GILL, 170, STRAND, W.C, 1887. PRINTED BY A. BRADLEY, 170, STRAND, LONDON. 3W PREFACE. " JjJjtfN these days, when of making books there is no end," ^*^ and every description of work, whether professional or amateur, has a literature of its own, it is strange that scarcely anything should have been written on the fascinating arts of Chasing and Repousse Work. It is true that a few articles have appeared in various periodicals on the subject, but with scarcely an exception they treated only of Working on Wood, and the directions given were generally crude and imperfect. This is the more surprising when we consider how fashionable Repousse Work has become of late years, both here and in America; indeed, in the latter country, "Do you pound brass ? " is said to be a very common question. I have written the following pages in the hope that they might, in some measure, supply a want, and prove of service to my brother amateurs. It has been hinted to me that some of my chapters are rather "advanced;" in other words, that I have gone farther than amateurs are likely to follow me.
