A William III thirty-hour longcase clock movement and dialWilliam Clement, London, circa 1695The posted countwheel bell striking two-handed movement with anchor escapement for regulation by a seconds pendulum and rectangular section corner uprights, the 11 inch square brass dial with subsidiary seconds dial and lambrequin drape border-engraved calendar aperture to the finely matted centre, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with scrolling cruciform half hour markers, Arabic five minutes to outer track and signed W'm Clement, London to lower edge, with scroll-pierced steel hands, winged cherub mask and scroll spandrels to angles and scroll engraved infill to the edges of the dial plate between. William Clement is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born before 1622, possibly 1621 in St. Albans. He was made a Freeman in the Blacksmiths Company in 1654 and rose to the Livery in 1664. From around 1665 Clement lived in the Parish of St. Saviours, Southwark, possibly to escape the plague from which his two sons William and Francis may have died. In 1659 a William Clement was commissioned as Lt Colonel in the White Regiment of Foot of the Parliamentarian Army. Clement was still alive in 1675 however records from this time onwards become confused with that of his son of the same name. In 1671 William Clement supplied a turret clock for Kings College, Cambridge, this clock was traditionally considered to be the earliest surviving timepiece to be regulated by anchor escapement and long pendulum supporting the possibility that Clement was the inventor. This view was further supported by an entry in Smith, John Horological Disquisitions (1694) which credits Clement as the Contriver of that curious kind of long pendulum. Two years later William Dereham in The-Artificial Clock-Maker puts the case forward for Dr. Robert Hooke who it is said demonstrated the long pendulum (with a form of recoil anchor escapement) to the Royal Society soon after the Fire of London. Despite this, and although it is generally accepted that Hooke devised the spring pendulum suspension, there is no direct documentary evidence to confirm that he devised the recoil anchor escapement. Another contender for its invention is Joseph Knibb who supplied a turret clock for Wadham College, Oxford with anchor recoil escapement and long pendulum in early 1670 before relocating to London. In 1677 William Clement was made a Free Brother of the Clockmakers Company and the following year was appointed Assistant by unanimous consent and approbation and for good reasons and especial esteem. He later served as Warden in 1690 and Master in 1694. In 1697 Clement signed the Oath of Allegiance and was from September of that year excused from attending meetings on account of his age. From April 1704 he received charity payments from the Company until his death in July 1709.Condition Report: Movement appears to be in fine original condition with no visible alterations or significant replacements. Dial is a little dull/discoloured but free from noticeable faults.There is no pendulum, chain/rope or weight with this movement (ie. only movement and dial included in the lot).Condition Report Disclaimer

Following the Declaration of Breda, which promised to pardon all those who had committed crimes against Charles II and his father, to honour sales of land, to tolerate all religious faiths, and to pay the army, Charles was proclaimed King on the 8th May and invited by Parliament to return to England, bringing to a swift end the puritan strictures of the interregnum. An interesting contemporary inscription in brown ink to verso gives the prices of a number of books: 'Digby. 1/6. Scot. -1. or 5/6. Barbadoes 6/6. Gage -6/6. China -8/6. Heylin 1-3. Sharrock. 1-6. Vulgar Errors. 8'. The second item, The honest Cryer of London, is a witty satire on the follies of allegiance, religion, regicide, and the excesses of parliamentary bureaucracy during the interregnum. The third item requests the return of Parliament, following the Dutch raid on the Medway at Chatham, during the second Anglo Dutch War.

* Potter ( Beatrix , 1866-1943). Three autograph letters signed, 1937-43, all 3 written to Mrs Brooke in Beatrix Potter's hand, from Castle Cottage, Sawrey: the first dated 25 October 1937, pertaining to the procurement of a nurse and related advertising and enquiries, "I have had to go to Coniston for other business so I called on Nurse Reid - an attractive Scotch girl, the farmer has some excuse!!", and going on to say that she intends to consult Dr Brownlee "he is a sensible man for an opinion about nurses", returning to Nurse Reid and a "comical kettle o' fish" saying that "[Nurse Reid] informed me in a pretty but determined Scotch accent that she has not registered as a midwife and will not do so!", signed H.B. Heelis, written in brown ink to both sides of a single sheet of thin paper (with some show-through), 2 folds, some creasing, unevenly torn along top edge, small piece missing from right-hand edge (not affecting manuscript), 24.5 x 19.5 cm, the second dated 26 October 1937, continuing the conversation about nurses, mentioning Dr Brownlee's opinion, asking for financial figures, expressing hope that she will not have help arrange lodgings, and ending "Apparently the Bowness nurse who is not a midwife is being upheld in her post; so Miss Furninger is not getting all her own way", signed Beatrix Heelis, written in brown ink to one side of a single sheet of thin paper, 4 folds, some small faint creases, unevenly torn along top edge, small piece missing from right-hand edge (just clipping one word), 24.5 x 19.5 cm; the third dated 1 November 1943, pertaining to the rationing of petrol during WWII, and musings on essential journeys for nurses as opposed to unreasonable journeys by children in taxis to attend "genteel governess-school daily", as well as a description of being stopped by police herself "I had left my identity card at home & the insurance... ", and a comment on the frivolity of an invitation to cocktails at such a time "A very vulgar world", signed Beatrix Potter, written in black ink on both sides of a sheet of lined paper, 2 folds, slightly creased to top and bottom edges (and a little frayed to former), 20 x 16 cm, together with 5 photographs of Katherine Brooke, 4 of her as a small child and the other showing her as a young woman (Qty: 8)NOTESProvenance: Bequeathed by the recipient to her mother and thence by descent. Katherine Madge Brooke (1891-1991), known by her second name, was the daughter of The Hon. John Cross, land agent to the High Legh Estates in Cheshire, and granddaughter of British statesman and Conservative politician Richard Assheton Cross, 1st Viscount Cross, who notably served as Home Secretary, and was a close friend and advisor of Queen Victoria. Whilst growing up Katherine was a frequent visitor to her grandfather's London home where she remembered being introduced to Lord Derby and the Prime Minister. When war broke out in 1914 Katherine travelled alone to France as an untrained army volunteer, where she was based at the training centre and hospital in Etaples. Before her death, 17 days before reaching the age of 100, Katherine was one of the last surviving women volunteers who served unpaid on the front line in France during WWI. After the war she subsequently returned to France to assist with the War Graves Scheme. She later recalled her war work in recorded interviews which are held at The Imperial War Museum. In 1923 Katherine married Basil Brooke DSO, a captain in the Navy, and they went to live at High Wray House in Ambleside. She recalled her association with Beatrix Potter in a recorded interview in later life. In it she states that, although unable to remember her very first meeting with the writer, she could recall vividly the day (sometime in the early 1930s) that Beatrix Potter drew up in a car outside her house and, stepping out to accost her in the garden, announced "I am going to start a Nursing Association for Hawkshead and you are going to be my Secretary". Katherine's response was a terrified refusal, but Beatrix was not to be diverted from her purpose, and so the two women set up the first local district nursing service. Katherine spoke of her enormous respect and admiration for Beatrix Potter's sharp intellect and knowledge, saying "she was an extraordinary person" with a "marvellous brain". She went on to say that Beatrix did a great deal behind the scenes for the local community, but that her work wasn't recognised in Hawkshead, saying "she didn't go down well". She also described Beatrix's indifference to appearance, saying that she dressed as an old country woman, always in the same old-fashioned looking clothes, and that later on she took up country dancing with her husband.
