context_page_description: Charles François Lhomond was a French priest, grammarian, and educator who was a native of Chaulnes, Somme.
  He attended classes at the Collège d'Inville in Paris, where he subsequently became dean of the school. Later on, he spent twenty years as an educator at the Collège du Cardinal-Lemoine in the Latin Quarter of Paris, and afterwards was professor emeritus at the University of Paris.
  Lhomond made contributions in the field of education, being the author of several works on grammar, Roman history and religious history. His textbook from 1779, De viris illustribus urbis Romae a Romulo ad Augustum, was still used in the 20th century by French students learning Roman history and Latin.
  Other works by Lhomond include:
  Élémens de la grammaire françoise
  Élémens de la grammaire latine
  Epitome historiæ sacræ
  Histoire abrégée de l'Église
  Histoire abrégée de la religion avant la venue de Jésus-Christ
  In 1792 he was jailed for refusing to swear allegiance to the Civil Constitution of the Clergy, but was released shortly afterwards through intervention by Jean-Lambert Tallien, a former student of his at Collège du Cardinal-Lemoine.
