Biography

万斯选。
清史稿卷四百八十一 列传二百六十八:
  兄斯选,字公择。学於黄宗羲。尝谓学者须验之躬行,方为实学。於是切实体认,知意为心之存主,非心之所发。理即在气中,非理先气后。涵养纯粹,年六十,卒。宗羲哭之恸,曰:“甬上从游,能续蕺山之传者,惟斯选一人,而今已矣!”
  斯大子经,字授一。黄宗羲移证人书院於鄞,申明刘宗周之学。经侍席末,与闻其教。及长,传父、叔及兄言之学,又学於应捴谦、阎若璩。康熙四十二年,成进士,选庶吉士,散馆授编修。五十年,充山西乡试副考官。五十三年,提督贵州学政。及还,以派修通州城工罄其家。素工分隶,经乃卖所作字,得钱给朝夕。晚增补斯大礼记集解数万言,春秋定、哀二公未毕,又续纂数万言。又重修斯同列代纪年,又续纂兄言尚书说、明史举要,皆先代未成之书。乾隆初,举博学鸿词科,不就。年八十二,家遭大火,遗书悉焚。经终日涕洟,自以为负罪先人,逾年卒。著有分隶偶存二卷。
