O knihe

This antiquarian volume contains Peter Mark Roget's famous lexicographic work, "Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases" - subtitled "Classified and Arranged So As To Facilitate the Expression of Ideas and Assist in Literary Composition". This book represents the first attempt at producing a classified collection of related words, and will appeal to collectors of historical antiquarian literature of this ilk. A comprehensive catalogue of English synonyms, this volume would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf. Peter Mark Roget (1779 -1869) was a British doctor, lexicographer, and theologian. Many antiquarian books such as this are increasingly rare and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
