NA Crabb's often criticized book came out in 1816 and despite criticisms several dozen editions were published before Roget's swept the field. For my purposes the print is entirely too small,but there might be a time when I would want to check it out.Clearly, as literacy advanced in the English speaking world this was a much needed book. There is a good Atlantic article on Roget that gives an insight into Crabb's role. no reviews | add a review
First published in 1816 and revised in 1916, this edition of George Crabb's English Synonyms contains the entirety of his most enduring work. The revised edition is supplemented by a large number of words, the applications of which had grown into the language in the preceding years or had taken on a deeper significance in light of the First World War. It also contains comprehensive cross-referencing, which brings closely related words together and facilitates the quick location of a desired term. No library descriptions found. |
