clocks, walnut breakarch longcase clocks (and those in other
woods), and thirty-hour clocks. Other chapters detail various dial
and decoration forms, precision timekeeping, important makers, and
clocks of the Victorian and Edwardian eras right up to modern
times. A glossary of terms and lengthy index of makers are
included. In British Longcase Clocks, Mr. Roberts share his wealth
of knowledge enthusiastically and presents over 300 black and white
and full-color photographs of details and whole clocks. His book
