English is not my first language, and I was always a bit stumped by the subtle difference between similar words. Learning there is such a thing as a thesaurus (as opposed to a dictionary) came later in my English comprehension years, and I was thrilled to bits with this. My Roget’s is a well-worn copy that have provided me numerous word options which I then cross-referenced back to a dictionary seeking the subtle meanings and hence the perfect word to express my thoughts. I have a Webster also but always found the Roget’s to provide just what I need. This is the version that I’d recommend for a thesaurus. (

Dedication

For Mary, Margie, Debra

First words

Preface To The First Edition. Roget's Thesaurus has been the stand-by of writers for almost three generations. Edition after edition has been published; revisions and enlargements have enhanced its usefulness, but the form has remained the same: classification according to ideas, followed by a colossal index.
