   • 1838, Society for the Difussion of Useful Knowledge (contributor), “Gilding”, inThe Penny Cyclopaedia of the Society for the Diffussion of Useful Knowledge, Volume 11,pages219–220:

     On the application, however, of this amalgam to the surfaces of either gilding metal, copper, brazen, orsimilored articles, it is found that as there is no chemical affinity, and consequently no principle of mutual cohesion between the substances thus brought into contact, the direct union of them is impossible.[…] [Y]ellowsimilored goods must only have the mereury fairly removed from them.[…]Similored articles are the best adapted to show the extent over which the metal can be spread, since the brass amalgam seems to have a more powerful affinity for the amalgam of gold.

   • 1848, Henry Moseley,Illustrations of Mechanics, page 8:

     It may be spread by the process above described more thinly upon brass than copper; surfaces of brass, when gilded, are said to besimilored, and upon these a grain of gold is commonly made to cover about 40 square inches
