1892 E.B. Tylor's presidential address: In Prince Louis-Lucien Bonaparte the Institute loses another honorary member. His connection with anthropology was on the philological side. During more than forty years he was engnaged in collecting and discussing linguistic matter, especially with reference to the Basque and Finnish, but there was scarcely a European language which he did not by his publications enrich the study of.
Notes From Elsewhere
Louis Lucien Bonaparte (January 4, 1813 – November 3, 1891) was the third son of Napoleon's second surviving brother, Lucien Bonaparte. He was born at Thorngrove, mansion in Grimley, Worcestershire, England, where his family were temporarily interned after having been captured by the British en route to America [1]
A philologist and politician, he spent his youth in Italy and did not go to France until 1848, when he served two brief terms in the Assembly as representative for Corsica (1848) and for the Seine départements (1849) before moving to London, where he spent most of the remainder of his life.
Member of the Athenaeum Club from 1866
