Военно-морской словарь, редакции 1815 года.

The most desirable edition is the fourth, of 1815, as revised and greatly expanded by William Burney. William Burney was the author of several books on the naval history and biography of his time. He taught at the Gosport Naval Academy, just across from the dockyard at Portsmouth. Because of the time it took for information to trickle down, earlier editions tend to be out of date when published, but Burney (who had good Admiralty contacts) contrived to get dimensions, tables and establishments actually used by the Navy of his day. This edition is over 850 pages long and include 35 plates. This makes it a prime source for technical details and the actual practice of the navy during the classic age of Nelson.
