Roget's Thesaurus is a dictionary of synonyms devised by the British physician, natural theologian and lexicographer, Peter Mark Roget (1779-1869). It was first published in 1852 (with 15,000 words) and has been in print and regularly updated and expanded since that time. It now features 443,000 words and is the most widely used thesaurus among English-speaking people. On a recent walk on the Malvern Hills we took a detour to the church in West Malvern to see Roget's very plain gravestone.
