Jean-Henri-Nicolas Bouillet

Jean-Henri-Nicolas Bouillet (December 1729, Béziers – 22 January 1790, Béziers) was an 18th-century French physician, Encyclopédiste and mayor of Béziers from 1787 to 1790.

[1] Bouillet was the first son of a doctor from Béziers, Jean Bouillet (1690–1777) and his wife Catherine Marsals (born 1700).

Jean-Henri-Nicolas had a younger brother, Michel Jean Louis Bouillet (born 1732) and two older sisters, Catherine Jacquette (born 1723) and Gabrielle Bouillet (circa 1727-1789).

[2] He was a member of the Académie de Béziers [fr].

He contributed the article Faculté to the 6th volume of the Encyclopédie by Diderot, 1751, vol.6, (p. 361–371) ; Maxime Laignel-Lavastine called him an "epidemiologist and pioneer of social medicine".
