In 1852, Peter Mark Roget published his Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases. In 1855, John Bartlett published his Familiar Quotations. Now the legacies of these two reference giants are joined at last in another landmark work: Bartlett's Roget's Thesaurus. More references--over 350,000--than any other Roget's-style thesarus on the market today. Thousands of contemporary words, terms, idioms, and slang expressions. An index that includes every word, phrase, idiom, foreign expression, or listed item in the book. 848 main subject categories, listed both in order of appearance and alphabetically in the front of the book. Thousand of cross-references within the text to direct word-hunters to related categories. And, of course, quotations, whose sources range from the Bible to Fran Lebowitz.
