North's Examen. 



Our readers will, we are sure, agree with us that this is 

 a great, important, yet withal, a very practical scheme. 

 It is one which certainly deserves, one which we believe 

 may command, success. 



It is, therefore, in a spirit of entire friendliness that we 

 suggest one or two points for consideration. 



First. Would it not be well to extend it in one very 

 obvious direction, namely, that whereas the present pro- 

 posal embraces only "words and idioms," it should be so 

 far extended as to include old " Proverbs and Proverbial 

 Phrases ? " This would add very little to the trouble of 

 the gentleman who should undertake the collation of any 

 particular author, but would very materially enhance the 

 value of his labours. By this means not only would the 

 researches of Johnson and Richardson be completed — 

 but that very valuable supplement to the Dictionaries of 

 those learned lexicographers, Nares's Glossary, would be 

 Tendered doublj' valuable. As an instance of how much 

 is to be gathered from a careful examination of any 

 ■writer whose works have not as yet been searched for 

 the discovery of unregistered words and phrases, we sub- 

 join a few notes made many years since, during the perusal, 

 for another purpose, of Harsiiet's Declaratioti of Egregious 

 Popish Impostures, 4to. 1603, which Notes, by an odd 

 coincidence, we accidentally met with, just after the re- 

 ceipt of the Philological Society's Prospectus.

These Notes, which of course were not made according 

 to the well-considered rules laid down by the Philolo- 

 gical Society, may, we think, serve to show the good 

 results likely to flow from the present scheme. 



Another suggestion we would venture to make is this : 

 — that, as the Philological Society is not at present in a 

 condition to specify " the particular mode in which the 

 Collection formed will ultimately be made public," — and
