Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAU-CHA
CERNUSCHI, HENRI (1821-1896) , Italian politician and economist, was born of wealthy parents at
Milan
  in 1821, and was destined for the legal profession. During his studies he became involved in the revolutionary
movement
 . He played a conspicuous
part
  in the insurrection at
Milan
  in 1848, and also at Rome in 1849, where he had a seat in the National Assembly. On the collapse of the revolutionary government he was arrested (185o), but managed to escape to France, where he engaged in commerce and banking, became naturalized, and acquired a large fortune. He took a prominent
part
  in opposing the Socialist
movement
 , and in April 187o, having subscribed a large sum to the funds of a committee formed to combat the Napoleonic
plebiscite
 , had to leave the country. In September the formation of the Third Republic enabled him to return, but he soon left Paris to travel in the
East
 , whence be returned with a fine art collection, particularly of Japanese objects. Cernuschi is best known for his publications on
financial
  questions, more especially bimetallism. Of the latter he was an ardent champion, and the word itself is commonly supposed to have originated with himat least in its
English
  form it is first found in his Silver Vindicated (1876). Among his other works may be mentioned: 2vlecanique de l'echange (1861); Illusion des societes cooperatives (1886); Le B.imetallisme en Angleterre (1879); Le Grand Proses de l'
Union
  latine (1884). He died at Mentone on the 12th of May 1896.
