The Clock Jacks of England

Extract

It is a great pleasure to me to have the privilege of addressing you this afternoon on the subject of Clock Jacks or Quarter Boys as they are frequently called. In my two papers on Chimes and Chime Tunes, I felt that there was little of musical interest that had not been dealt with, but after further research I found that Clock Jacks were of special historic interest, and also that the bells used and the notes played by them were worthy of the attention of musicians.
