Finally from what I have known of Frodshamswatches, I am very strongly impressed with the idea,that they are a decided improvement on all other time-keepers, and were they set in gimballs and used withthe same care, I think their performance would equalthat of Mr. Frodshams celebrated box chronometer,and would answer the same purpose for determininglongitudes.
