'''Charles Pierre Chapsal''' (1787–1858) was a French [[grammar]]ian, editor of the [[Classics]] and a founding member in 1821 of the [[Société de Géographie]].<br />
<br />
Chapsal was born in [[Paris]] and taught at the [[Collège Louis-le-Grand]]. His principal work was his ''Nouvelle Grammaire Française''<ref>''Nouvelle Grammaire Française sur un plan très-méthodique, avec de nombreux exercices d'orthographe, de syntaxe et de ponctuation, tirés de nos meilleurs auteurs, et distribués dans l'ordre des règles''.</ref> in which he collaborated with [[François-Joseph-Michel Noël]]. The work was more complete and more logical than the previous standard grammar of [[Charles François Lhomond]]; it first appeared in 1823, and by the time of the author's death it had passed through more than forty editions, eighty by 1889.<br />
<br />
On the proceeds of his early labour, Chapsal was able to retire to the Château de Polangis,<ref>The Château de Polangis, on the site of a manor attested in 1207 was sold in 1623 by the monks of [[Vincennes]] to Charles Valdir (or Valliech), secretary to the duc d'Épernon, who rebuilt it; the park was embellished with a rockwork [[grotto]] in 1748. In 1790 Polangis belonged to the brother of [[Honoré Gabriel Riqueti, comte de Mirabeau|Honoré de Mirabeau]], [[André Riquetti, vicomte de Mirabeau]] (1754–1795), called "Mirabeau-Tonneau" a royalist deputy to the [[Constitutional Assembly]], who died in exile at Baden. In 1801 the château was purchased by general [[Nicolas Oudinot]] (1767-1847), who organized the 5 floréal an X (2 April 1802) a dinner of officers hostile to [[Napoleon Bonaparte|Bonaparte]]: the generals [[Antoine Guillaume Delmas|Delmas]] and [[Auguste de Marmont|Marmont]], and colonel Fournier. Chapsal bequeathed it to his adopted son, Auguste Courtin, whose heirs divided the property into house-lots and demolished the château.

He died in Paris in 1858 and bequeathed a sum of 80,000 francs to be distributed in the [[banlieue]]s of Paris.<br />

Translations were printed in the United States, by Moss (Philadelphia, 1878) and an abridgment based on the authors' own, which had been published in 1826, by Lockwood (New York, 1869).<br />
