| 520 | _a"An Universal Dictionary of the Marine" by William Falconer is a comprehensive reference work that likely belongs to the mid-18th century. The book serves as an extensive lexicon of maritime terms and phrases, particularly focusing on the construction, equipment, and navigation of ships, along with military operations at sea. It aims to fill the gaps left by previous works on the subject, providing an in-depth explanation for both technical language and practical applications related to maritime affairs. The opening of the dictionary establishes Falconer’s intent and authority on the subject, addressing the inadequacies of earlier maritime dictionaries. He emphasizes his commitment to crafting a thorough resource by critiquing prior publications for their lack of detail and clarity in defining naval terms. Falconer outlines the structure of his work, indicating that it will not only include definitions but also etymologies and illustrations to aid understanding. He expresses the necessity for a work of this nature, especially within a sea-faring nation, showcasing the importance of clear communication in maritime contexts. This sets the groundwork for the detailed coverage of terms that follows, where he introduces entries relating to ship construction, navigation, and naval command.
