The University Press of America just began to advertise its CD-ROM of a large
number of journals' book reviews. This is not on-line but the list of journals
whose book reviews are on the disk is impressive.

Brian Willis is right about 'rose' being a learned loan-word. During the
reign of Charlemagne, Alcuin attempted to reform Latin pronunciation, but
most of the reforms were orthographical and Latin pronunciation was
re-established only insofar as spelling helped.
There were a number of other vernacular modifications which were avoided in
the passage from Latin to French (see M.K. Pope, 'From Latin to Modern
French", p. 231).
There is no example of the form 'reuse' in Tobler-Lommatszch.
