The Sailor's Word-Book an Alphabetical Digest of Nautical Terms, Including Some More Especially Military and Scientific, But Useful to Seamen, as Well by Admiral W H Smyth

This book is part of the TREDITION CLASICS series. The creators of this series are united by passion for literature and driven by the intention of making all public domain books available in printed format again - worldwide. At tredition we believe that a great book never goes out of style. Several mostly non-profit literature projects provide content to tredition. To support their good work, tredition donates a portion of the proceeds from each sold copy. As a reader of a TREDITION CLASICS book, you support our mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from oblivion.

William Henry Smyth (1788-1865) spent the most of his naval career surveying, and his work, which he often did in partnership with French, Austrian, and Neapolitan surveyors, was widely praised. He was a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and later served as its President (1849-51). He began assembling the Sailor's Word-Book from material gathered over the course of his long career in 1858. Despite the fact that he finished the book, he died before it was published.
