Add Tag | Summary: | WEBSTER'S COLLEGIATE THESAURUS is a wholly new book resulting from long study and planning and differing from existent thesauruses in a number of significant respects. It may be worth mentioning that the idea of a thesaurus has been a viable notion in the Merriam-Webster offices since at least 1898- in which year one of the responsibilities assigned the late Dr. William Torrey Harris when he was appointed Editor in Chief was to do preliminary planning for an improved thesaurus. Over the years that have passed since then, much testing has been done and much information accumulated. Now we are able to issue a thesaurus which, we are satisfied, eliminates many of the defects that impair both past and still existent books of this character. |
