Peter Mark Roget was born on 18 January 1779, the son of a Swiss clergyman. He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh. Sadly, his father and wife both died young, and his uncle committed suicide in his presence; this left him with depression for most of his life, and the compilation of his Thesaurus was in part a strategy to battle this depression.
