And when he put them in long, neat rows, he felt as if the world itself clicked into order." For shy young Peter Mark Roget, Review: ロジェの生涯とシソーラスの誕生までを楽しく読める - Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases, Classified and Arranged so as to Fascilitate the Expression of Ideas and Assist in Literary Composition（1852）の著者で、シソーラスの祖とされるロジェの伝記は評者の知る限りは下記の3部が発行されているが、 Emblen, D. L. 1970. Peter Mark Roget；The Word and the Man, Rennison, N. 2007. Peter Mark Roget: The Man Who Became a Book, Kendall, J. 2008. The Man who Made Lists: Love, Death, Madness, and the Creation of Roget’s Thesaurus, いずれも、専門者向けで入手も難しい。本書は子供向きの絵本で､ 挿絵や写真を楽しみながらロジェの生涯とシソーラス誕生の経緯を知ることができる。なかでも最終頁の手稿本（1805）（existenceの項）の写真は見る人を圧倒するだろう。また年表の中でPiozziの British Synonymy Or an Attempt at Regulating the Choice of Words in Familiar Conversation(1794)をロジェのシソーラスの先駆としてあげているのも興味深い。ロジェのシソーラスは実用的に使うには手に余る。折に触れて参照して英語と英語の文化・論理を身につけてゆくのが最も良いと思われる。その前にロジェの伝記をまず読むとよい。 Review: The Right Words and Pictures - Jen Bryant and Melissa Sweet did a wonderful job portraying Roget and his penchant for words and lists.
