This fascinating work on 'English Clocks and Clockmakers' is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on any horologists bookshelf. Illustrated throughout, with copious text as well as drawings, it makes for a fascinating, as well as a useful read. It includes discussions of: Time and Timekeepers; Time and the Pendulum; Trains and Escapements; The Clockmakers' Company; Brass Lantern Clocks; Clock Dials; The Development of Grandfather Clock Cases; Renowned Clock Makers; A Glossary of Terms used in Clock Making. and much, much more besides. Many old works such as this are increasingly hard-to-come-by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that this book is being republished now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the subject.
