The Tongue Of Time

""The Tongue of Time: Or The Language of a Church Clock"" is a book written by William Harrison and published in 1842. The book explores the symbolism and meaning behind the sounds and movements of a church clock, which Harrison sees as a metaphor for the human experience of time. Harrison delves into the history of clock-making and the significance of timekeeping in religious and secular contexts, drawing on examples from literature, philosophy, and theology. He also reflects on the personal and social implications of time and its measurement, including the importance of punctuality and the impact of industrialization on daily life. Through his analysis of the church clock, Harrison offers a unique perspective on the nature of time and its role in shaping human existence.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
