Author Bio
Basil L. Gildersleeve graduated third in his class at Princeton in 1849 and was one of the first Americans to receive a PhD from Göttingen (1853). After appointment to the University of Virginia in 1856 Gildersleeve began to write a Greek syntax developing his own system of categories fleshed out with his own examples. In 1867, Charles B. Richardson published Gildersleeve's Latin Grammar. The Grammar was revised in 1872 under the University Publishing Company as a part of the Gildersleeve Latin Series, which began with A Latin Exercise Book (1871) and ended with A Latin Primer (1875). In 1892 the third edition of the Grammar appeared, revised and enlarged by Gonzalez Lodge (1[zasłonięte]863-19).
