Everything about Bory De Saint-vincent totally explained
Jean Baptiste Bory de Saint-Vincent (
6 July 1778 -
22 December 1846) was a
French naturalist. (His personal name is variously reported, including "Jean Baptiste Marcellin" and "Jean Baptiste George Marie".)
He was born at
Agen. He was sent as naturalist with Captain
Nicolas Baudin's expedition to
Australia in 1798, but left the vessel at
Mauritius, and spent two years in exploring
Réunion and other islands. Joining the army on his return, he was present at the
battle of Ulm and
battle of Austerlitz, and in
1808 went to
Spain with
Marshal Soult.
His attachment to the Napoleonic dynasty and dislike to the Bourbons were shown in various ways during
1815, and his name was consequently placed on the list of the proscribed; but after wandering in disguise from place to place he was allowed quietly to return to
Paris in
1820. In
1829 he was placed at the head of a scientific expedition to the
Peloponnessus, and in
1839 he'd charge of the exploration of Algeria.
He was editor of the
Dictionnaire classique d'histoire naturelle, and among his separate productions were:
Essais sur les Iles Fortunées (1802);
Voyage dans les Iles d'Afrique (1803);
Voyage souterrain, ou description du plateau de Saint-Pierre de Maestricht et de ses vastes cryptes (1821);
L'Homme, essai zoologique sur le genre humain (1827) in which he adopted a
polygenist perspective ;
Resume de la géographie de la Peninsule (1838).
