The desire for independence from Great Britain was far from
unanimous among the American Colonists. A large portion of people,
in all walks of life and in all the colonies, were loyal to the
Crown, often at great personal risk. The Loyalists were probably
the dominant faction in New York, New Jersey, and Georgia, while
they were clearly in the minority in Virginia, Maryland, and
Massachusetts. Loyalists units played a significant part in the
war, especially in the south. About 70,000 Loyalists fled to
England or Canada, while the majority of them remained in the
colonies and attempted to conceal their sympathies. Those that
fled, as well as some of those who remained, suffered great
hardships and financial losses. Great Britain attempted to provide
some compensation for them, hence the mass of English records on
which the present work is largely based. About two-thirds of this
work consists of biographical data on 419 New Jersey Loyalists
culled from English archives, while the final on-third gives
briefer accounts of 1,308 more derived from American records. Both
parts of the work are documented with citations to the sources, and
there is an index to full names and places. This volume was first
published as Volume X of the Collections of the New Jersey
Historical Society. It is the most comprehensive examination of New
Jersey Loyalists in the American Revolution available. It includes
an appendix of additional loyalists by A. Van Doren Honeyman.

First published in 1928, Old Silver of Europe and America is a
comprehensive guide to the history of domestic silverware. With
particular focus upon objects produced between the sixteenth and
eighteenth centuries, the survey includes both the United States
and Canada and stretches across Europe, England, Scotland and
Ireland to Russia and the Baltic states. Lavishly illustrated with
black and white photos, the guide includes examples of tankards,
plates, bowls, jugs, teapots, strainers, porringers, candlesticks
and ornaments, many of which are treasures from royal or national
collections. Alongside this stunning variety of shape and
decoration are profiles of some of the most noted silversmiths of
each country, making Old Silver of Europe and America an classic
and insightful introduction to the subject.
