Excerpt from A Handful of Silver: Six Stories of Silversmiths Dear Mr. Holbrook: The Eighteenth Century author felt his book incomplete wanting a dedication to bis patron. A custom worth adopting, it seems to me, if for patron I may substitute friend. In this case you have a peculiar title to the trifling courtesy. In the first place it was at your suggestion that these stories were written. In the second, you yourself have written, in words more enduring than mine, the story which should fitly close the series and exhibit to us the silver worker of our own day. In this utilitarian age of clanking machinery and mechanical repetition you have in the heart of a great factory kept alight the flickering flame of artistic bandicraftsmanship. To-day, thanks mainly to you, there are at Providence many hundreds who put into daily practice, as they handle that elder brother of all useful metals, silver, the precise methods and technical devices employed by my Mysian fashioner of shields, by my Egyptian Neku, by Cellini the Italian, by Hans the son of medieval Nuremberg, and by Master Paul Revere of Boston town.
