Happy Birthday, Roget


Peter Mark Roget was born on this day in 1779.

From C-SPAN ...
Joshua Kendall talked about his book The Man Who Made Lists: Love, Death, Madness and the Creation of Roget’s Thesaurus. The book recounts the life of Peter Mark Roget, the creator of the thesaurus that was first published in 1852.
