SHILLETO, RICHARD (18og-1876) , English classical scholar, was born at Ulleskelf in Yorkshire on the 25th of November 1809. He was educated at Repton
Cambridge , and in 1867 was elected a fellow of Peter-house
Cambridge , where he died on the 24th of September 1876. Shilleto was one of the greatest Greek scholars that England has produced; in addition, he had an intimate acquaintance with the Latin and English 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 " coach " of his day, and almost all the best men passed through his hands. His edition of the De falsa legatione of Demosthenes
work
long -contemplated edition) hardly came up to expectation. His pamphlet Thucydides or Grote ? excited a considerable amount of feeling. While it undoubtedly damaged Grote's reputation as a scholar, it was felt that it showed a want of appreciation of the special
powers
