Seller's Description:
Near Fine. 093047614X. 8.4 X 5.9 X 0.7 inches; 147 pages; Soft cover has blue spine with gold lettering. Light rubbing, scuffing to covers. Pages are clean and tight. This is a reprint from 2001. Originally published in 1860. ' The manufacture of Clocks has become one of the most important branches of American industry. Its productions are of immense value and form an important article of export to foreign countries. It has grown from almost nothing to its present dimensions within the last thirty years, and is confined to one of the smallest States in the Union. Sixty years ago, a few men with clumsy tools supplied the demand; at the present time, with systematized labor and complicated machinery, it gives employment to thousands of men, occupying some of the largest factories of New England. Previous to the year 1838, most clock movements were made of wood; since that time they have been constructed of metal, which is not only better and more durable but even cheaper to manufacture. ' 'Chauncey Jerome sold millions of clocks around the world. A sea captain told him he'd seen one in a house on lonely St. Helena; a missionary brought one to the Sandwich Islands; and travelers to Egypt and Jerusalem reported Chauncey Jerome clock sightings to him'. Index. On back cover is a label reading '1983 Great Lakes Regional. '
