Samuel Gosnell Green

Samuel Gosnell Green (20 December 1822 – 15 September 1905) was an English Baptist minister, educator, author, and bibliophile.

[1][2] Born in Falmouth, Cornwall, Green was the eldest son among the nine children of a Baptist minister and was sent to a private school in Camberwell.

[1] He served two churches, High Wycombe (1845–1847) and Tauton (1947–1851), before taking a position at the Yorkshire Baptist College (Rawdon) as tutor in classics (1851–1863).

Thenceforth his main energies were devoted to literary work, in which towards the end of his long life he was aided by his elder son, Prof. S. W. Green.

His most important work was his Handbook to the Grammar of the Greek Testament, published in 1870 (revised editions in 1880, 1885, 1892, and 1904), which was followed in 1894 by a primer which had also a wide circulation.
