William Falconer (21 February 1732 - December 1769) was a Scottish epic poet concerned mainly with life at sea. He also compiled a dictionary of marine matters. Falconer was a midshipman on the Royal George for a short period of time and then in 1763 became purser of the frigate Glory aboard which he wrote the political satire Demagogue. In 1767 he was purser of the Swiftsure. In 1769 he published An Universal Dictionary of the Marine. Falconer was a passenger in the frigate Aurora when it was lost at sea en route to India in 1770. This marine dictionary was first published in 1769. Subsequent editions appeared in 1771, 1776, 1780 (the edition reproduced here) 1784,1789 and 1815. It was written by an experienced seaman with considerable service both in the Royal Navy and in merchant ships, who was also a well known poet. The book provides invaluable source material for the maritime historian and all those interested in the history of seafaring. Ref X 5.…
