LONDON, April rs, 1862.
SIR: have much pleasure in giving In account
of the Gold Compensation Lover Watch No. 1895,
you have made for me, and in which expressly stp
ulated that 1t should maintain uniform rate Of going
under every variety of motion and climate This it
has done in most remarkable manner; its rate of
going for the first six months was five seconds per
month, and in tho next six months it changed its rate
little faster viz eight seconds per month, and at
the end of 1856 days il 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 il is only the
usual character of your improved watches which you
term your new series.
