Lazare Nicolas Marguerite, Comte Carnot (1753-1823), "Le Grand Carnot", French mathematician and engineer, general and a politician, Minister of War in 1800 and Minister of Internal Affairs during the Hundred Days. In 1815 he was made Count of the French Empire by Napoleon. Carnot favoured fortresses and defensive strategies. He bequeathed some influential works on fortification, the mot known perhaps is "De la défense des places fortes" (Paris, 1810) which went through four editions and was also translated into English. The Encyclopaedia Britannica (11th edition, 1910) has described his "Mémoire sur la fortification primitive" as "One of the more important works on the subject of fortification and siege war", and the book has been listed as such together with the works of the great fortification theoreticians Dürer, de Ville, Coehoorn, Vauban, Noizet, as well as the later writers Plessix and Legrand, Ritter von Brunner, and Delambre.
