H. Smyth is a nautical dictionary written in the late 19th century. This work offers an in-depth exploration of nautical terminology, including definitions of maritime language from both historical and contemporary perspectives. It serves as a useful resource for both seafaring professionals and enthusiasts, encompassing terms not only relevant to naval operations but also related to areas like astronomy, natural history, and military science. At the start of the text, the author reflects on the need for a comprehensive nautical dictionary prompted by a lack of satisfactory resources in the field. The opening includes a preface by Vice-Admiral Sir E. Belcher, highlighting Admiral Smyth's career and dedication to maritime knowledge. Through the preface and introduction, readers learn about the complexities and evolutions of nautical terms, the importance of precise definitions for sailors and landsmen alike, and Smyth's personal journey in collating this wealth of information for the greater benefit of his profession.
