About This Item
1783 Marine Vocabulary Lescallier Navigation SHIPS Voyages Thomas Jefferson RARE
Daniel Lescallier was an 18th-century French writer best-known for his work on maritime history and navigation. He was well acquainted with important political figures of the time including both Napoleon Bonaparte and Thomas Jefferson, both of whom influenced his works. Among his best writings was 'Vocabulary of Marine Terms' a work which Thomas Jefferson included in his personal library (Sowerby 1232).
This work contains hundreds of terms associated with sailing, navigation, maritime law, ships, and voyages. This 1783 issue is of particular note – published in both French and English and contains numerous exquisite engravings. The engravings of ships and masts are particularly desirable.
