Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PIG-POL
POINCARE, RAYMOND (186o ) , French statesman, was born at Bar-le-duc on the loth of August i86o, the son of Nicolas Antoinin Helene Poincare, a distinguished civil servant and meteorologist. Educated at the university of Paris,
Raymond
  was called to the Paris bar, and was for some time law editor of the Voltaire. He had served for over a year in the department of
agriculture
  when in 1887 he was elected
deputy
  for the Meuse. He made a
great
  reputation in the Chamber as an economist, and sat on the budget commissions of r89o1891 and 1892. He was minister of education, fine arts and religion in the first cabinet (AprilNov. 1893) of Charles
Dupuy
 , and minister of finance in the second and third (May 1894Jan. 1895). In the succeeding Ribot cabinet Poincare became minister of public instruction. Although he was excluded from the Radical cabinet which followed, the revised
scheme
  of death duties proposed by the new
ministry
  was based upon his proposals of the previous year. He became vice-president of the chamber in the autumn of 1895, and in spite of the
bitter
  hostility of the Radicals retained his position in 1896 and 1897. In 1go6 he returned to the
ministry
  of finance in the short-lived Sarrien ministry. Poincare had retained his practice at the bar during his political career, and he published several volumes of essays on literary and political subjects.
His brother, Lucien Poincare (b. 1862), famous as a physicist, became inspector-general of public instruction in 1902. He is the author of La Physique
modern
  (1906) and L'Electricite (1907). Jules Henri Poincare (b. 1854), also a distinguished physicist, belongs to another branch of the same family.
