Roget's Thesaurus OF English Words AND PHRASES Notes on the automatically-generated Index to Roget's Thesaurus , 1911 edition. Introduction A true Roget's Thesaurus (as opposed to an alphabetically-listed synonym dictionary) is composed of three parts: - a hierarchical classification structure (hierarchy or "Synopsis of Categories"); - a body, which lists the Categories (whose titles are sometimes referred to as "head Words " or "headings"), under which are found the groups of semantically- or conceptually-related Words and phrases (also called synonyms or entries).

3 - and an Index that lists the entries alphabetically (along with the Category titles and numbers under which the entry may be found in the body). 2 This document contains the complete Index to the 1911 (American) edition. It was generated from the entries (synonyms, phrases and word lists) contained in the Gutenburg/MICRA free E- text Thesaurus 14a (plain text version). It is larger than the original 1911 Roget's Thesaurus Index, containing all text entries ( excluding numbers, special characters and parenthetical information) up to 25 characters long (91,000+ entries).

4 Index Entries This Index lacks the intelligence found in the original hand-edited Index, where common-sense aggregations occur. For example A B C and are found under a single Index entry in the original Index. Also, phrases are here listed alphabetically rather than "semantically." For example, in the original Index under the Index entry home there are phrases such as be at -, at - with, bring to ("be at home," "at home with," " bring home to"). In this automatically-generated Index be at home is instead listed after the entry be at cross purposes with and before the entries be at home in, and be at home with; while bring home to is listed after bring none are listed under home.

5 This Index includes archaic and obsolete Words ; foreign terms; Latin quotations; and many other such entries that the average Thesaurus -user would never need, and were not included in the original Index. Foreign characters such as umlaut, circumflex, grave or acute may be found to encoded using ASCII characters flamb_ee, b=ete noire. A look-up for these codes is not provided. Pages: There are 565 pages in this document (including this page) in four-column format (one column in the plain text file). The 1911 Roget's Thesaurus (large print edition) begins at page 351 and ends at page 653 (302 pages) in four-column format.

6 Header Page: I have included the original Roget's header page to the Index (with its explanatory note) for completeness. However the information it gives is not accurate for this automatically- generated Index , for Words or phrases that are both an Index entry and one of the Category names ("headings") listed beneath it, the reference number is not printed in bold-face type. L John Old Napier University Edinburgh March 2003 INDEX The numbers refer to the headings under which the Words or phrases occur. When the same word or phrase may be used in various senses, several headings under which it, or its synonyms, will be found, according to those meanings, are indicated by the Words printed in Italics.

7 These Words in Italics are not intended to explain the meaning of the word or phrase to which they are annexed, but only to assist in the required reference. When a number or word of reference is placed within parentheses, the actual word or phrase will not be found under the heading referred to, although it may sometimes be useful to consult the category thus indicated. When the word given in the Index is itself the title or heading of the category, the number of reference is printed in bold-face type, thus: abode 186. (Note to readers utililizing the plain.)
