The Old English Master Clockmakers and Their clocks

The title itself shows how the general renowned makers, which happen, by the way, to be the really artistically and commercially valuable of the productions of English horology. The later development, and in many instances, the debasement, of English clocks, possess, at the most, a historical and academic interest, and in the present volume are ignored almost entirely.
