Roget's Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases I-II. [antikvár]

EDITORIAL NOTE In the revision of this book I have added most of the termi [made necessary by modern science. I have added, too, many i foreign phrases, and have tried to improve the Index in various ways. Where anything has become obsolete I have left it out, but I have done this very sparingly. Most of the errors I have corrected, but in such a work as this many must pass by unnoticed. A. B. Augusí 1912. NOTE TO THE 1925 EDITION In this new revision of Roget's Thesaurus an attempt has been made to incorporate the many and great changes that our vocabulary has undergone since the work was first published, All obsolete words (somé amusing curiosities excepted) have been removed; spellings have been modernised, naturalised words deprived of the stigma of italics, and new words and new meanings of old ones added, to the number of several thousands. In accordance with the originál plan, colloquialisms and slang expressions have been freely admitted. The index has been revised, corrected and greatly augmented. Roget's system of classification, though bearing in places the marks of its early nineteenth-century origin, is still sound and serviceable, and, except for a few minor alterations, has been left unchanged. C. L. NOTE TO THE 1930 EDITION In this edition a number of new words and phrases have been added, and the index has undergone a further revision. C. L
