	Peter Roget Information
		Peter Mark Roget (January 18 1779–September 12 1869) studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh and became a distinguished physician and lexicographer.
		While Roget's explanation of the illusion was probably wrong, his consideration of the illusion of motion was an important point in the History of Film, and probably influenced the development of the Thaumatrope, the Phenakistiscope and the Zoetrope.
		Roget died while on holiday and is buried in the cemetery of St James's Church, West Malvern, Worcestershire.

	Connected Earth: Roget, Peter (1779-1869) : keeping the eye in focus
		Peter Roget, famed as the creator of the first thesaurus, also proved persistence of vision in the human eye.
		In 1824 he demonstrated persistent vision, proving that an image of an object is held on the retina for approximately 1/16th of second after the object actually disappears - the illusion that TV and movies rely on to produce apparent 'reality' on screen.
		Roget's more direct contribution to the story of telecommunications is that he introduced Mr Cooke to Mr Wheatstone - the team that were eventually to invent the five-needle telegraph system in 1837.

	Peter Mark Roget, first secretary of the Portico Library, Manchester, England
		Peter Roget was born in London, the only son of Rev. John Roget, a Swiss born pastor in the French Protestant Church in Threadneedle Street.
		Roget's observations were made by viewing through vertical slits but he showed the position of each spoke in the wheel at each glimpse and how this could lead to the optical illusion of stasis or backward motion.
		Roget's work showed that an image persists in human perception for about one sixteenth of a second and this forms the basis on which animations, film and television are based.

		Roget's International Thesaurus, Peter Roget, Robert L. Chapman, PB The above thesaurus is not in dictionary form!
		There were dictionaries of synonyms and antonyms well before Roget: his revolutionary idea, the thing that was called a thesaurus was an organization of words by concept, instead of alphabetically in some arbitrary synonym-antonym structure.
		The structures of Roget are like the dichotomies of Aristotle, down to finer and ever finer distinctions.

		The revolutionary achievement of Dr. Peter Mark Roget's first edition in 1852 was the development of a brand-new principle: the arrangement of words and phrases according to their meanings.
		Roget's system brings together in one place all the terms associated with a single thought or concept; it allows a wide-ranging survey of language within a book of relatively modest size, without the space-consuming repetitions that so severely limit the scope of thesauruses arranged in a dictionary format with A-to-Z entries.
		Roget's thesaurus has multiple styles of entries - main entries highlighted from the text, subentries that are very close relatives of the main entries, secondary entries that lead back to main entries cross-referenced, and variant spelling forms of words.

		Peter Roget was a physician by profession but a polymath in practice, publishing learned articles on sewer sanitation, magnetism, bees, geology and more.
		His inquisitiveness begat quirky discussions of how the knight might be moved to every square on the chess board, and practical inventions such as his "log-log," the first slide rule for calculating the roots and powers of numbers.
		Roget would not have been pleased with this complicity in the creation of the movie camera.

		An arc goes from one category to another if Roget gave a reference to the latter among the words and phrases of the former, or if the two categories were directly related to each other by their positions in Roget's book.
		For example, the vertex for category 312 (`ascent') has arcs to the vertices for categories 224 (`obliquity'), 313 (`descent'), and 316 (`leap'), because Roget gave explicit cross-references from 312 to 224 and 316, and because category 312 was implicitly paired with 313 in his scheme.

		The interesting thing about this was that he found that this such 'consideration of relationship' (synonym) was effectively identifiable in a classification -non-overlapping, of the 'substance' of even most primitive thought underlying ideations and words, thus every thought/word/entity is of one and only one Roget (class) dimension.

		One hint as to his possibly altered standing comes from the latest version of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, which, although Roget was an editor of the seventh edition and a contributor of more than 300,000 words to it, gives him somewhat short shrift today, with an entry of a mere twenty lines.
