Petar Beron

He worked in Bucharest and Craiova, but after several years of general practice quit his job and started a business in merchandise.

Fifteen years later, having made a fortune, he went to Paris where he rented an apartment, where he started his real scientific career.

Dr. Beron spoke nine languages and wrote about 30 volumes, not counting two dictionaries, an atlas, his doctoral dissertation (written in Latin), and the Fish Primer.

On the session of the Royal Academy of Science in London, held on 20 June 1850, Sir John Lee presented his work On the System of Atmospherology and acknowledged Beron's activity.

In 1853 Dr. Beron was invited by the Association of Natural Sciences in Athens where he read an article titled Earth before the Deluge.
