Peter Mark Roget

Peter Mark Roget was a British physician, natural theologian, and lexicographer. He is best known for publishing the 'Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases' in 1852, a comprehensive classification of synonyms that is still widely used today. Roget was born on January 18, 1779, and passed away on September 12, 1869. His work on the thesaurus began in retirement after a distinguished career in medicine and science, and it was motivated by his interest in language and the idea of categorizing knowledge.
