Military and Naval Dictionary in the English language, up to date in all respects, is a great desideratum. To partially supply the want of such a work of reference the present work has been prepared. There is at present no dictionary of modern military or naval terms in the English language. Wilhelm sis the latest, and that is practically obsolete in most respects. Military literature has not only increased enormously in volume in the last quarter of a century, but has completely changed its vocabulary. The nomenclature of military material is entirely different, and even the forms of drill regulations, tactics and strategy have undergone transformations which require new expressions to define them. In the present work technical forms of defining words have been avoided as much as possible, in order that the general student or reader may be able to comprehend them more easily.
