ANTIQUE CLOCKS. tt is tn undisputed fact, the C'oM<'e<o?''s Magarine <aya, that French clocks of the seventeenth, <etghteenth, a.ad eMiy nineteenth centuries have, 3beaidea their antiquarian interest for the collector, a special attraction for lovers of the beautiful in decorative design. The mventor of the jBrat portable clock was a Frenchman, by name Carrovage, and the discovery of the laws of gravity by Galileo and demonstrated by him with the pendulum had some innuence on the constructica of seventeenth century clocks; and, towards the end of that period, when furniture became more sumptuous in design, clocks became elaborate in Jkeeping with it, and artists and designers lavished their talents on their decoration. Francis 1. granted the nrst statute of incorporation to French clock- makers in 1544, and the Associated Clockmakers governed the trade till 1789, when all the old guilds were done away with. 1 For Printing of all kinds try th.
