The purpose of this work is best described in the words of the author: "No history of Charleston furniture and furniture making can be regarded as definitive until all the surviving pieces have been located, identified, and completely described. In the face of so tremendous a task, the present work can be presented only as a beginning. Its purpose is to open the subject, not to close it. If the book in any degree stimulates interest in early Charleston furniture, or encourages present owners of antique furniture to examine their pieces more carefully for the sake of identifying them, or leads to the discovery of pieces which have been overlooked or undervalued - if it accomplishes any of these things - the labor that has gone into the preparation of the book will have been fully justified."The beautifully illustrated volume bespeaks thorough research on every pages. It is enhanced by an alphabetical list of cabinet makers, with information about each. - Press-Telegram/Independent, Long Beach, California

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 not it 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.........
