Excerpt from Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases: Classified and Arranged So as to Facilitate the Expression of Ideas and Assist in Literary CompositionThe first edition of Dr. Roget's Thesaurus was published in the year 1852, and a second in the ensuing spring. On the issue of the third, in 1855, the volume was stereotyped. Since that time until now, the work has been reprinted in the same form and with little alteration, in rapidly succeeding editions, the printing of which has worn out the original plates.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Thesaurus of English Words: So Classified and Arranged as to Facilitate the Expression of Ideas and Assist in Literary CompositionThe Thesaurus of Roget is justly held in high estimation both in England and in America. Though it is the first work of its kind that has appeared in the history of our language, the completeness of its plan, and its fulness of details, are such as to leave little to be supplied by others. The book may, in fact, be advantageously taken up by the student of English compo sition as an ample vocabulary furnished for his special use. The body of our noble language is, in this invaluable manual, anatomized, as it were, and distributed, not under any merely philological arrangement, connected with the mechanism and structure of language, but classified by the wants of the mind with reference to the purposes of expression, and the actual demands of oral or written communication.The greatest fault of the work is that of incorporating so (5)About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Not illustrated. 1832 Excerpt: ...direction. (215.) Two plates of very soft iron must next be provided, equal in breadth to the surfaces containing the poles, and a little longer than those surfaces; so that, when applied to them, a portion of each plate shall project beyond the loadstone to a small extent. In fig. 58, Rr represents the sections of these iron plates affixed to the opposite sides of the loadstone L; and P p the projecting pieces. These projecting pieces should be much narrower than the other portion of the plates. For loadstones weighing less than an outice, the lower surfaces of the projections need not exceed the tenth of an inch; and so in proportion for larger loadstones. The thickness of the plates, also, must be regulated by the strength of the loadstone, and can scarcely be determined without previous trial in each particular case. The best way, therefore, is to make them tolerably thick at first; and then file off successive layers, until we And, by actual experiment on the power of the loadstone after each reduction, that we cease to obtain any advantage; for the power increases gradually to a certain limit, at which the filing ought to be discontinued. The armature of a loadstone should be fixed on it very firmly, by wires, or by an external case, which should be made of any metal which is not susceptible of magnetism. Loadstones are sometimes cut into a spherical shape, in imitation of the earth, and are then called terrellar. Their armatures should, in that case, be adapted to the curvature of the surface, and should each cover about a quarter of that surface. (216.) The addition of armatures to a loadstone is found to have a very favourable effect in augmenting its strength, and this increase of strength goes on for a considerable time after they have been appli...
