George Grote (1794–1871)
Grote, George. An English historian; born in Clay Hill, Kent, Nov. 17, 1794; died in London, June 18, 1871. His works on Plato and Aristotle, and various essays, show him a substantial scholar; and he was an able Parliamentary speaker and reformer. But his fame rests on his epoch-making ‘History of Greece’ (12 vols., 1845–56), the first ever written from a democratic standpoint. (See Critical and Biographical Introduction).
