London: Macmillan, 1921. Large thick quarto, original green cloth, xvi, 748 pp. (last blank). A little inoffensive browning affects the head of the spine, some preliminary foxing; overall a very good and sturdy copy. The dust-jacket is worn and incomplete. The definitive reference on the subject. In the preface, Sir James Jackson confidently asserts the superiority of this second edition: 'since the publication of the first edition, the further researches of the author and his friends have resulted in the discovery of more than two thousand additional marks, which have been classified in their proper order and represented in facsimile. There has also been a considerable amount of emendation, rendered necessary in connection with the additional particulars which have been brought to light. In addition to bringing up to the present time the Tables of Date-Letters, etcetera, relating to the Assay Offices still in active existence, the author has devoted a great deal of attention to increasing his records of makers' marks, over six hundred of which have been added to the chronological list of London goldsmiths' marks alone'.
