See also:RICHARD See also:SHILLETO (18og-1876) , See also:English classical See also:scholar, was See also:born at Ulleskelf in See also:Yorkshire on the 25th of See also:November 1809 . He was educated at See also:Repton and See also:Shrewsbury See also:schools, and Trinity See also:College, See also:Cambridge, and in 1867 was elected a See also:fellow of See also:Peter-See also:house . His whole See also:life was spent in Cambridge, where he died on the 24th of See also:September 1876 . See also:Shilleto was one of the greatest See also:Greek scholars that See also:England has produced; in addition, he had an intimate acquaintance with the Latin and English See also:languages and literature . He published little, being obliged to devote the best years of his life to private tuition . He was the most famous classical " See also:coach " of his See also:day, and almost all the best men passed through his hands . His edition of the De falsa legatione of See also:Demosthenes will always remain a See also:standard See also:work, but his first two books of See also:Thucydides (an See also:instalment of a See also:long-contemplated edition) hardly came up to expectation . His pamphlet Thucydides or See also:Grote ? excited a considerable amount of feeling . While it undoubtedly damaged Grote's reputation as a scholar, it was See also:felt that it showed a want of appreciation of the See also:special greatness of the historian . Shilleto's See also:powers as a translator from English into Greek (especially See also:prose) and Latin were unrivalled; a selection of his versions was published in 1901 . See B . H .
