When the original edition of Scottish Gold and Silver Work was
published in 1956 it was the first in its field, and today it
remains the only comprehensive treatment of the subject. However,
during the years that have passed, a great deal has happened in
this field. Not only have researches vastly exceeded everything
published prior to the date of the book's appearance, but as a
subject, Scottish silverware has attained independent status, and
its history is no longer even putatively covered under the title of
"English Plate." The need for a new edition, updated, corrected,
and improved, is therefore obvious. No alternative general history
of the subject appeared during the interval of the two editions. By
tracing the history of this complex art form, from the earliest
Celtic gold and silver work to the Burgh craftsmen of the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Finlay and Fothringham have
created the most comprehensive text on this subject ever published.
