Roll differs from list only in limitation to persons and in faint suggestion of its original meaning of a rolled-up paper or parchment. Register suggests an official act of some formality and fullness of detail, perhaps according to a legal or customary form: as, a register of voters, of marriages, or of deaths. Catalogue supposes orderly arrangement and some fullness of description: as, a catalogue of the paintings in a gallery, of the specimens in a museum, of the books in a library, or of the students in a college. An inventory is a list of property, generally with prices or values, made for legal or business purposes, as on a dissolution of partnership. A schedule is a list of things, made for any purpose, and showing what they are both in a general view and in some detail: as, a schedule of studies, or of assets.

Whilst Scools supplied to mend our youth
Shall on the List be shown
A Daughter and a Mother both
In Her the Church shall own
A spirit is out to-night!
His steeds are the winds; oh, list,
How he madly sweeps o'er the clouds,
And scatters the driving mist.
Where yonder, yonder by the stars,
Nightlong there rins a burn,
And maids with lovers at the wars
May list their wraiths' return.
A list of my beautiful things?"
Well, have you seen my Evylin;
The beautiful, beautiful Evylin?
She's my list of beautiful things.
Mightier than the sword art thou,
List! a maid records her vow,
That so long as life shall last,
Ne'er a doubt shall love o'ercast.
And ever has the heav'n taught mind,
The tranquil scene preferr'd;
There list'ning to the still small voice,
In silence only heard.
