Jacques-Barthélemy Micheli du Crest (September 28, 1690 – March 29, 1766) was a Genevan military engineer, physicist and cartographer. Born into the aristocracy, he eventually fled to France as an enemy of Geneva and eventually spent his later years in Aarburg Castle as a political prisoner. During his time there, he mapped the Alps accurately using rudimentary tools. One of his other major accomplishments whilst in exile was to create a thermometer and a temperature scale, which was commonly used in Switzerland and around Europe until it became obsolete in the 19th century. ==Life before exile== Du Crest was born into the aristocracy, and during a period in the military he became a Captain and military engineer by the age of 23. In 1721, after leaving the army, he took up his place as a member of the Genevan parliament, as was his family's right, specialising in security. During his time in the parliament, Du Crest argued against the Genevan oligarchy〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.aidh.org/Refug/GE_refug/26.htm )〕 and was an outspoken critic of the planned wall around Geneva. Eventually, due to his views and publishing pamphlets such as "Maxims of a Republican", he was declared an enemy of Geneva, his rights as a citizen were revoked, his lands were confiscated and he was sentenced to death.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.swisscastles.ch/Geneve/lecrest.html )〕 Du Crest fled to France in 1730, and an effigy was symbolically beheaded in 1735.
