One of these will cost but 25 shillings, without a case, varnishing or silvering; but if varnished, and silvered in all respects as a clock dial, one guinea and a half. The others are from two to four guineas, and eight guineas if with bells to strike the miles and quarters on pulling a string; one of which may be seen at Mr Neale's, watchmaker in Leadenhall-street, who has a patent for making several astronomical machines, &c. and where proposals at length may be had, or at St John's Gate.
