Classic Styles of Grandfather Clocks
(Porter Press Feb. 3, 2017)
This vintage work contains a transcript of the tenth 'Annual Discourse' presented before 'The Maryland Historical Society' on January 25th, 1855. The subject of this discourse is Martin Behaim, who was a mariner, artist, cosmographer, astronomer, philosopher, geographer, and explorer in the service of the King of Portugal. This fascinating account of his life will greatly appeal to those with an interest Behaim and in the history and development of astronomy, and would make for a great addition to collections of allied literature. Many old works such as this are increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that this volume is being republished now complete with a new introduction on the history of astronomy.
