Roget’s son, have revised the original Thesaurus, added to it, and brought it up to date (for many of the words in the original Roget list are now obsolete and many common words of today were unknown in his time) but virtually every edition is still called Roget’s Thesaurus in honor of the man who first had the idea. Not only writers, but also many others found it invaluable. There were not many words in the first Roget’s Thesaurus compared to the number in a volume like this, but his book was the first collection of synonyms, antonyms, and other related words. He called the book a thesaurus, or treasury, of words. Every word he knew or could find in the dictionaries he had was classified in one or more of these categories. Roget made a thousand different groups, or categories, of related words. Some were related because they were synonyms, such as illegal and unlawful some because they were antonyms, such as peaceful and warlike some because they were reminders of one another, such as father and mother. As a hobby he liked to make lists of words and group them together when they were related to one another.
