Biography

何焯,长洲人。
清史稿卷四百八十四 列传二百七十一:
  何焯,字屺瞻,长洲人。通经史百家之学。藏书数万卷,得宋、元旧椠,必手加雠校,粲然盈帙。学者称义门先生,传录其说为义门读书记。
  康熙四十一年,直隶巡抚李光地以草泽遗才荐,召入南书房。明年,赐举人,试礼部下第,复赐进士,改庶吉士。仍直南书房,授皇八子读,兼武英殿纂修。连丁内外艰。久之,复以光地荐,召授编修。尚书徐乾学、翁叔元争延致焯。寻遘谗,与乾学失欢,而叔元劾汤斌,焯上书请削门下籍,天下快之。圣祖幸热河,或以蜚语上闻,还京即命收系。尽籍其卷册文字,帝亲览之,曰:“是固读书种子也!”无失职觖望语,又见其草藁有手简吴县令卻金事,益异之。命还所籍书,解官,仍参书局。六十一年,卒,年六十一。帝深悼惜,特赠侍讲学士。赠金,给符传归丧,命有司存恤其孤。
  焯工楷法,手所校书,人争传宝。门人著录者四百人,吴江沈彤、吴县陈景云为尤著。
