See the entries in the Oxford DNB for his brother-in-law Sir Samuel Romilly and his son Peter Mark Roget, as well as Joshua Kendall's 2008 biography of the latter, 'The Man Who Made Lists'. The two items were commenced while Roget was a fifteen-year-old schoolboy in Geneva, and nine years before his 1775 emigration to London. The two volumes of the same dimensions, but not uniform. Vol.1: 179pp, small 4to. Vol.2: 146pp, small 4to. Both tight and internally in good condition, lightly aged, in worn card wraps, each with a different stencilled design on the covers. The spine of the first volume carries the words 'Extraits (Revd. J. Roget) 1766' in a nineteenth-century hand (P. M. Roget's?), while that of the second bears the remains of a pink paper label with the words 'MSS. Revd. J. ROGET' in the same hand. The first volume is titled on a fly-leaf: 'Livre d'Extraits / Commencé ce 27 Juin 1766. / Jean Roget / de la 1ere Classe. / Jean Roget / 1766 / Fruits de mes Lectures / Tome I'. The second volume is titled: 'Fruits de mes lectures / Livre d'extraits, ou recueil de pieces intéressantes de littérature choisie de poësie, de traits d'histoire ancienne et moderne; de découvertes des science et des arts. &c, &c, &c. / [Charrago? Pharrago?] / Tome 2d. / Commencé ce 17 Décembre 1766 / Par Jean Roget / de la 1ere classe'. The first volume contains, on 163 pages, 244 numbered extracts in prose and verse, followed by a twelve-page 'Table des Numeros'. The authors are not named, nor is the magazine from which the extracts have been made, but occasional entries give volume number and page. The first entry is a poem titled 'Vers sur la liberté' (in fact a stanza from the 'Ode sur le Temps' of Antoine Léonard Thomas); the last is 'Henriade travestie en vers burlesques' (by Louis-Charles Fougeret de Monbron). The second volume is arranged in similar style, but with longer extracts, this time numbered to 76, and no table. The first entry in this volume is a poem titled 'Devoirs de la Société' (again by Thomas); the last is a prose text titled 'Ne Craignez pas ceux qui ne peuvent qu'ôter la vie du Corps'. From the Roget family papers.

See the entries in the Oxford DNB for his brother-in-law Sir Samuel Romilly and his son Peter Mark Roget, as well as Joshua Kendall's 2008 biography of the latter, 'The Man Who Made Lists'. From the Roget family papers, and certainly of later date than the two schoolboy commonplace books by Jean Roget offered separately. Roget is not named as the author, but the handwriting is his, and the spine bears the remains of a blue paper label with the words 'MSS of the Rev. J. Ro[get]' on it the same nineteenth-century hand (P. M. Roget's?) as the two commonplace books. From the dates of some of the items in the present volume it is clear that it was begun after 1773, and probably written, at least in part, after Roget's settlement in England in 1775. The volume is 78pp, small 4to, and written in a close, neat hand. Internally in good condition, lightly aged, in worn and grubby half-vellum covers with grey paper boards. At one end of the volume are 27pp of possibly original compositions; and starting at the other end (once the volume has been turned upside-down) are a further 47pp of extracts from identified sources. The 27-page section is followed by two inserted items, also in (Jean) Roget's autograph, totalling 4pp, the second being a three-page bifolium, carrying (Jean) Roget's transcription of the 'Épitre d'Anne de Boleyn en prison à Henry VIII son époux' of Rapin-Thoyras (exhibiting some differences from the version printed by Raoul de Cazenove in 1866). It is hard to tell which, if any, of the pieces in this volume are original compositions, since none are attributed, but it would appear that the 27pp at one end are by Roget himself. They bear the titles: 'Ya-t-il des préjugés respectables?', 'Pourquoi les François ont-ils si peu ou de si mauvaises traductions en vers des anciens Poëtes Grecs et Latins, tandis que les Anglois et les Italiens en ont plusieurs qui sont estimés?', 'Quelle est la méthode d'étudier la plus convenable aux diférens [sic] Caracteres d'esprit?', 'Sur la litterature des Grecs et des Romains', 'Extrait d'un plus long discours sur cette Question / Que doit-on penser de cette Sensibilité dont on se pique de nos jours?', 'de l'Esprit', 'Plan d'un discours sur cette Question / Convient-il de parler de Religion aux enfans, et s'il y a des distinctions à faire, quelles sont-elles?' The 47pp of extracts from other writers begin with a seven-page transcription from Holbach's 1773 'Systême social'. Montesquieu's 'Persian Letters', the 'Murs' of 'Panage', Jean Pey's 'Le Philosophe Catéchisme', Saurin's 'Sermons'. The only English text in the volume is a five-page transcription 'From Lord Bolingbroke's Reflexions on Exile'. There are only two poems in the main body of text: a jeu d'esprit titled 'L'Observateur' ('Lorsque je suis au Luxembourg') and a five-page piece titled 'Les Perdrix, Conte' ('Un vieux Oncle, bavard, mais qui me mentoit guere').
