Does anyone happen to know where I could obtain a categorized
list of words from Thorndike and Lorge's _Teacher's Word Book of
30,000 Words_?  (the list in T & L is alphabetical, as those familiar
with the book will know; and in the back of the book there is a list
of the first 1,000 words).

By categorized list, I mean (for example) a list of the most
common 2,000 words, then the next 1000, the next 2,000, (so that
one could see what a basic 2000, 3000, and 5,000 word vocabulary
might look like.  I have Nelson and Kucera's frequency count,
which is helpful, but I would like to have a similar list from
Thorndike & Lorge for comparison.

Thanks for any advice you can give.
