The article deals with the first experience of making a comparative vocabulary of several languages, «The Comparative Dictionary of All Languages» by Academician Pallas. In this paper, the structure of the dictionary-thesaurus is examined and an example of the dictionary entry is given. This dictionary is compared with its later edition where a different principle of material presentation was proposed - the words were given in alphabetical order. Both dictionaries are compared in terms of the structure of the language material and the format of dictionary entries.
