The second volume in what was eventually a series of four on 17th century American silversmiths. Dummer was one of the earliest New-England born silversmiths, and apprenticed with John Hull.

Henry Foote contributed the chapters concerning Dummer's possible work as a portrait painter. The list of 153 subscribers to the book at the back also makes interesting reading, giving a quick look at who was interested in the subject of Colonial silver in 1935.
