This book tells the story of the rise, decline and revolution of British horology and the Author tells of seventeenth and eighteenth century time-pieces which today still chime and tell the time for us just as they did in the hands of the Tudors and Stuarts. Mr. Ullyett, F.R.Met.S., is a noted collector of antique clocks and watches, and he writes on the subject with the skill of the technical historian as well as with the enthusiasm of the life-long connoisseur and collector.[Description from the flapcopy.]We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
