Next to the dictionary, Root's interna-tional Thesaurus is the most valuable reference book that anyone cm own. Ke-gardless of how well you know your language, you will use this book over and over. Whether you are writing a letter or a book, whether you would like to increase your vocabulary or are solving a crossword puzzle, or whether you would just like to recall the word taat was "on the tip of your tongue," you will find it here in Roget.
A thesaurus is a book of words grouped by ideas. For example, in one place you will find every single word relating to joy (every word, not merely synonyms) and in another place every word relating to money, together with quotations and foreign expressions. Thus one word leads to another. This classification of words is the secret of a thesaurus, vhich distinguishes it from a dictionary. That plan was worked out by Peter Rogel, an English doctor, a hundred years ago.
Now almost double its lormer size, Roget's international Thesaurus is the largest and best book of synonyms and associated words that has evei been published. More than 75,000 terms found in no other such book have been added. The total exceeds 200,000.
Other improvements unique in this edition are: arrangement of w>rds within main sections according to shade of meaning; numbering of separate paragraphs within sections for easy findiig; arrangement of antonym sections to follow synonym sections, doing away with confusing parallel arrangement; entirely revamped Index Guide, with parts of speech now distinguished.
If you own Roget's international Thesaurus you will never need to grope for a word. Use the international because that is the only Roget that has been substantially enlarged since the English issue of 1879 while retaining the grouping of words by ideas. It is the only edition that embodies Dr. Roget's original idea in a modern, complete reference work. Vissza
