LONDON, april rs, 1852
Of the Gold Compensation Lever Watch No. 1925
you have made for me- and In which expressly stp-
ulated that it should maintain uniform rate Of going
under every variety of motion and climate. This it
has done in q most remarkable manner; its rate Of
going for the first six months was five seconds per
MONTH and in the next six months it changed its rate
little faster viz: eight seconds per month, and at
the end Of 365 days it found to be fast OF Green
witch mean time minute and fifteen seconds
Though was not led by any previous promise to OK
poet such performance, yet believe it is only the
usual character Of your improved watches which you
term your new series"
