BERTILLON, LOUIS ADOLPHE (1821-1883)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 813 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BEC-BER
BERTILLON, LOUIS ADOLPHE (1821-1883) , French statistician, was born in Paris on the ist of
April
  1821. Entering the medical profession, he practised as a
doctor
  for a number of years. After the revolution of 187o, he was appointed inspector-general of benevolent institutions. He was one of the founders of the school of anthropology of Paris, and was appointed a professor there in 1876. His Demographie figuree de la France (1874) is an able statistical study of the
population
  of France. He died at Neuilly on the 28th of
February
  1883.
His son ALPHONSE BERTILLON, the anthropometrist, was born in Paris in 1853. He published in 1883 a
work
  Ethnographie
moderne des races sauvages, but his
chief
  claim to distinction lies in the
system
  invented by him for the identification of criminals, which is described byhim in his Photographic judiciaire, Paris, 1890 (see ANTIROPOMETRY). He was officially appointed in 1844 to report on the handwriting of the bordereau in the Dreyfus case, and was a
witness
  for the
prosecution
  before the cour de cassation on the 18th of January 1899.
