2. For a helpful overview of English watch making, see Leonard Weiss, Watch-Making in England, 1760–1820 (London: Robert Hale, 1982); Robert C. Cheney, “Roxbury Eight-Day Movements and the English Connection, 1785–1825,” Antiques 157, no. 4 (April 2000): 607–15; Penrose R.

3. Foley’s glossary at the end of the volume includes many of the terms he uses to describe the timepieces, though not all; readers unfamiliar with clock terminology might also want to consult the glossaries in Philip Zea and Robert C. Cheney, Clock Making in New England, 1725–1825 (Sturbridge, Mass.: Old Sturbridge Village, 1992) and Stephen P. Petrucelli and Kenneth A. Sposato, American Banjo Clocks (Cranbury, N. J.: Adams Brown Co., 1995).
