Excerpt from Gilda Aurifabrorum: A History of English Goldsmiths and Plateworkers, and Their Marks Stamped on Plate, Copied in Facsimile From Celebrated Examples; And the Earliest Records Preserved at Goldsmith's Hall, London, With Their Names, Addresses, and Dates of Entry 2500 Illustra By the Goldsmiths' statutes, the working of gold or silver, either by a private workman, or by the master shopkeeper, or his delivering out gold or silver to his servants or workmen, to be wrought in any sort of work or ware, either by making, filing, or hammering, or every of them, is, or may, according to ancient usage, and the intent of such statutes, be deemed and taken to be the trade of the Goldsmith and every person having served an apprenticeship to any one, that before or during the said term, did follow such trade, is, and may properly be called, a Goldsmith. Touchstone for Goldsmiths' Wares, There was formerly an idea, perhaps more poetical than actual, alluded to by Juvenal and other Latin authors, that gold in contact with heat emitted a sweet and fragrant Odour; hence a golden cup when filled with hot liquid, its fragrance, as in mulled wine, became more perceptible and agreeable to the epicure.
