Ex Libris Abel E. Berland
Falconer was one of the three survivors of a trading ship on voyage from Alexandria to Venice and in 1751 he wrote and published a poem on the death of Frederick, Prince of Wales. He had also contributed poems to the Gentleman\\\\\\\'s Magazine. The poem The Shipwreck was dedicated to the then rear-admiral Duke of York where the poem states:
From regions where Peruvian billows roar,
To the bleak coasts of savage Labrador.
