Conrad Malte-Brun

Conrad Malte -Brun, actually Malthe Conrad Bruun ( born August 12, 1775 in Thisted in Jutland, † December 14, 1826 in Paris) was a Danish- French geographer.

He studied in Copenhagen, was persecuted for political reasons and sentenced to perpetual exile in 1800 and consequently moved to Paris. He provided here 1804-1807 with the geographer Edme Mentelle a great description of the earth in 16 volumes, which was long but despite their unequal treatment in France as the best work in this subject.

Since 1806 he was one of the chief contributors to the Journal of Débats. The fact emanating from him essays published after his death in 1828 collected under the title Mélanges scientifiques et littéraires. He began in 1808, the Annales des voyages, de la géographie et de l' histoire and 1818 Jean Baptiste Benoit Eyries the annales Nouvelles des voyages.

His main work is the ( by Jean -Jacques -Nicolas Huot completed ) Précis de la géographie universal. Also in the Dictionnaire de la géographie universal he worked.

His second son, Victor Adolphe, was also a geographer and wrote, among other things, the multi-volume work L' Allemagne illustrée.
