Watches Of the new series, Mr.. Frodsham has sue
ceeded-by more perfect method Of compensation,
moro correct adjustment in isochronism, and an
tirey now and peculiar construction OF tho train by
which more power is obtained without increase Of
sixe-in producing timekcepers of wonderful and
rivalled accuracy. The great Importance OF the inn
proved Watches is perfect regularity OF time, under
