Acknowledgments In the making of this book I have had the advice
and assistance of many people, and I cannot regard the work as
complete until I have expressed to them, in some fashion, my deep
sense of gratitude. High on the list must be the name of Miss Emma
B. Richardson, of the staff of The Charleston Museum, for her
excellent work in preparing the manuscript, editing, reading proof,
and in general making the book ready for the press. Her patience
has been unfailing her quick grasp of every problem, me and
accurate. It is, I fear, impossible for me to make adequate
acknowledgment of all those who have assisted me in searching out
extant examples of early Charleston furniture of space preclude a
complete h g . I am particularly grateful, however, to those who
have permitted me to come into their homes, often to the disruption
of their households, to make photographs of their furniture. I was
invariably received with courtesy, and in not a siigle instance was
I refused permission to take pictures. I regret that I cannot show
my appreciation of such generous co-operation by including in this
book all the photographs I was permitted to acquire. The final
choice has been determined by cost and space limitations, or by the
necessity of avoiding repetition of the types of funitwe
represented. It should be understood, therefore, that the exclusion
of any given photograph does not mean that the subject was unworthy
of inclusion. It should be understwd also that only by the
collection and mdy of hundreds of photographs have I been able to
write with confidence on the styles and types of early Charleston
furniture hence, every photograph I have taken has been invaluable
to me, whether or notit ocnus as an illustration in the book.
Insdtutions and societies as well as individuals have been generous
either in supplying me with photographs or in permitting me to have
the photographs taken.........
