A most interesting little work, describing the rise and progress of watchmaking, has beeu published by J. W. Benson, 25 Old B >nd-st., and the City Steam Factory, 58 ana 60 j.utlgate-hill. The book, which is profusely illustrated, gives a full description of the various kii ds of watches and clocks, with their prices.
