FROM THE FORWARD: "Many residents of Newport whether of families whose roots go back to its early colonial days or those whose connections are not so deeply rooted have felt a growing appreciation of the rich heritage which Newport is so uniquely fortunate in possessing. This heritage is in the houses public buildings furniture silver paintings and other evidences of colonial culture which flourished here and which is being preserved restored and recorded by the dedicated work and generous financial support of interested individuals and organizations like The Preservation Society of Newport County. . This book I believe faithfully depicts the consummate skill and superlative craftsmanship of Newport cabinetmakers silversmiths and painters and is the forerunner of other volumes which will portray other aspects of this truly American culture.
