A most interesting little work, describing the rise and progress of watchmaking, has been published.by.J.. W. Benson, 25, Old Bo.nd Street* and the City Steam Factory, 58 an.d 60, Ludgate Hill. The book, which is profusely illustrated, gives a full description of the various kinds of watches, and clocks, with their prices. Mr. Benson (who holds the appointment to the Prince of Wales) has also published a pamphlet on Ai-tistic Gold Jewellery, illustrated with the most beautiful designs of Bracelets, Brooches, Eairings, Lockets, &c, &c, suitable for Wedding, Birthday, and other presents.
