The writer desires to record his indebtedness to the useful _Handbook and Directory of Old Scottish Clockmakers from 1540 to 1850_, by John Smith, Esq., published by William J. Hay, Esq., John Knox's House, Edinburgh, 1903. This volume is now out of print, and a new and enlarged edition containing no less than 2,700 names is shortly appearing. No student or collector of Scottish clocks can afford to be without this volume, as it is the only one dealing with its subject. In regard to districts in England and Wales, there is an opportunity for local antiquarian societies to gather and tabulate county lists on the lines of this Scottish volume. The records of provincial makers are still exasperatingly incomplete. There is the authoritative volume by the late F. J. Britten, _Old Clocks and Watches and their Makers_, with a list of over 10,000 names. But in the main these are of London makers.
