Treatise on Clock and Watch Making, Theoretical and Practical

Originally published in 1826, this very early work on 'Clock and Watch Making' makes for fascinating reading. It is a comprehensive and informative look at the subject with much of the information still useful and practical today. Many old works such as this are increasingly hard-to-come-by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that this text is being republished now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the subject.

Thomas Reid (1710 1796) was a Scottish philosopher. The founder of the Scottish School of Common Sense, he played an integral role in the Scottish Enlightenment.
