Delectus Sententiarum Græcarum: Ad Usum Tironum Accommodatus; Cum Notulis Et Lexico (Classic Reprint)
(Excerpt from Delectus Sententiarum Græcarum: Ad Usum Tiro...)
Excerpt from Delectus Sententiarum Græcarum: Ad Usum Tironum Accommodatus; Cum Notulis Et Lexico Mn. Priest, of Scarning, published some years ago a work under the title of a Greek Delectus. The selection' of passages from the Greek writers, and the grammatical and philological Notes, which followed them, were highly creditable to the diligence and learning of the author. The present little volume would have presented only a new edi~ tion of the work, of which the author parted with the copy right, had it not been found, on experience, too difficult for initiation.' This may therefore be considered as a new Book, intended, to use the words of the original author. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Richard Valpy
Richard Valpy was a schoolmaster in Great Britain.
Education
He was sent to schools in Normady and Southampton, and completed his education at Pembroke College, Oxford.
Career
In 1777 he took orders. After holding a mastership at Bury, in 1781 he became head master of Reading grammar school, a post which he held for fifty years. From 1787 he held also the rectory of Stradishall, Suffolk. During the early part of Valpy's long head-mastership the school flourished greatly. At least 120 boys attended it.
He was the author of Greek and Latin grammars which enjoyed a large circulation. His Greek Delectus and Latin Delectus were long familiar to public school boys. He is said to have been a mighty flogger, and to have refused two bishoprics. In 1800 he was requested by his old pupils to sit for a full-length portrait and thirty years later, on the occasion of his jubilee, he was presented with a service of plate. Mary Russell Mitford has spoken of him as vainer than a peacock.
The school was declining before Valpy's long reign closed. His successor was his son, Francis Valpy (1797-1882), appointed in 1830. Richard Valpy died in London. He is buried in an impressive mausoleum in front of the main chapel in Kensal Green Cemetery.
Achievements
-
He was a notable English schoolmaster. A statue was erected in St. Lawrence's Church to commemorate him. He was also the father of printer and publisher Abraham John Valpy and of New Zealand pioneer William Henry Valpy.
