Roget's Thesaurus
English words and phrases classified and arranged so as to facilitate the expression of ideas and assist in literary composition
by Peter Mark Roget
An electronic thesaurus derived from the version of Roget's Thesaurus published in 1911.
Note that this version of Thesaurus-1911 has been supplemented with over 1,000 words not present in the original 1911 edition, but many modern words are still missing. About 1500 verbs which can be found in an 80,000-word spell-checker are absent from this work. The deficiency of nouns is probably much worse, especially on technical topics. Of 40,000 unique words contained in the original text, 12,000 are not recognized by a spell-checker. Most of these are foreign words , and many are obsolete. In this version, these words are marked as such by comments in square brackets. Although this version has been proof-read, there are doubtless numerous residual transcription errors, some of which may be obvious even without reference to the original text. We will be grateful if any of these are brought to our attention; the corrections will appear in subsequent versions.
The original arrangement has also been modified slightly in several places, in particular by splitting one entry into two. A version of the 1911 thesaurus which is almost identical to the original has also been prepared by MICRA, Inc., and also carries no restrictions from MICRA. Copies of that version or this one may be purchased for .00 from MICRA, Inc., or from the Austin Code Works, Austin Texas.
Occasional references to numbers starting with "@" are the embryonic beginnings of a reorganized version, mentioned below. A few comments are also included within curly brackets .
The following additional differences will be noted between this version and the original edition of the printed 1911 thesaurus:
the space-saving abbreviations in the original, using hyphens to represent common words, prefixes or suffixes, have been expanded into the full words or phrases.
the side-by-side format for words and their opposites has been abandoned. Words are listed in order of their entry number.
each main entry has a pound sign "#" in front of the number to facilitate computerized search.
