But I do not feel that so strongly, as I know that such undertakings never pay. Oxford stands to lose at least £100,000 over the New English Diction- ary ; and our Dictionary of National Biography was equally costly, and would have ruined a less wealthy publisher. George Smith, however, was rich, and also public-spirited ; so that the work was carried out to the finish in spite of its costly nature. As to another point on which you lay stress, viz. the enor- mous scale of a Thesaurus, I feel th...at as strongly as you do ; but I am not convinced that a scale of such magnitude is wanted or desirable. The lesson the new Latin Thesaurus teaches one is the need of moderation and limit. This might be done (i) by drawing the line at 632 absolutely ; and (a) treating all works during the period from A.D. i to 6aa in an eclectic way — dealing more especially with the new words and the technical words which appear in this period, and leaving most of the rest to take care of themselves. But a letter is not the place for a complete scheme.
