3513 English Dial Clocks

This was the first book devoted to the dial clocks. The dial clock made its first appearance in the 1720s in the form of a simple round faced, black painted, spring driven clock. In contrast the cartel clock, with a highly carved and decorated case, was taken from the French design but made only a brief impression on high fashion. A more successful form was the imposing tavern clock which evolved through several very attractive forms, all of which are now much sought after.

From the author's preface : The plan of the book is to take a series of arbitrary periods and to ask, in respect if each these questions : - What were the current popular concepts of the nature of time, of history and prehistory, of the earthly future, of after-life as affecting present action, and of man's place in time and eternity. - how was the individual life-span divides, by secular or religious custom. - What progress had been made in the branches of astronomy, mathematics and navigation that related to time-measurement No abstract concepts of time will be explored here ! A book to read on the beach or sitting next to the fireplace ! No dust jaquet.
