BERGHAUS, HEINRICH (1797-1884) , German geographer, was born at Kleve on the 3rd of May 1797. He was trained as a surveyor, and after volunteering for active service under General Tauenzien in 1813, joined the staff of the Prussian trigonometrical survey in 1816. He carried on a geographical school at Potsdam in company with Heinrich
Lange
 , August Petermann, and others, and
long
  held the professorship of applied
mathematics
  at the Bauakademie. But he is most famous in connexion with his cartographical
work
 . His greatest achievement was the Physikalischer
Atlas
  (Gotha, 18381848), in which
work
 , as in others, his nephew HERMANN BERGHAIIS (18281890) was associated with him. He had also a share in the re-issue of the
great
  Stieler Handatlas (originally produced by Adolf Stieler in 18171823), and in the production of other atlases. His written works were numerous and important, including Allgemeine Lander- and Volkerkunde (
Stuttgart
 , 18371840), Grundriss der Geogra.phie in flint' Buckern (Berlin, 1842), Die Volker des Erdballs (
Leipzig
 , 1845-1847), Was man von der Erde weiss (Berlin, 1856-186o), and various large works on Germany. In 1863 he published Briefwechsel mit Alexander von
Humboldt
  (
Leipzig

February
  1884.
