There cannot be the slightest doubt that, upon the whole, it is one of the most learned as well as one of the most admirable contributions that have been made to philology in this country since the 'Hermes' of Harris, and the 'Diversions of Purley' by Horne Tooke.

Dr. Roget's 'Thesaurus' will be found a most useful supplement to our ordinary English dictionaries. Its value will be most recognised by those who are best acquainted with the language, and best practised in its use. The mere arrangement of the groups of words, unaccompanied by definitions, suggests often various ideas associated with the different expressions. In such practical operation as translation from a foreign language, the utility of such a Thesaurus is obvious.

The man who in writing cannot find the fit word to express a thought, may, if it please him, take down Dr. Roget's 'Thesaurus,' look for the class containing any word of similar idea, and there he will find a miscellaneous collection, as complete as the compiler could make it, of words and phrases from which he may employ his tact to pick the syllables that suit him best.... The practical employer of the book will be directed to the object of his search by a full Synopsis of Categories at the beginning, or a very ample alphabetical index of words placed at the end, occupying 170 three-columned pages. The philosophic student of the English language may undoubtedly pick up many ideas from the grouping of our words and vulgarisms here attempted, and attempted with a great deal of success.
