Aloïsius Édouard Camille Gaultier
Abbé Aloïsius Édouard Camille Gaultier (Asti, 1745 or 1746 - Paris, 19 September 1818) was a French Roman Catholic priest and educational reformer.[1][2][3] In 1792 he left France during the worst of the Revolution, passing via Holland to England where he set up a school for the children of other refugees.[4][5][6][7]
He was a pioneer in getting children to learn through amusing them and was made a member of the commission for the reorganization of public instruction. He wrote a large number of books, such as Géographie de l'abbé Gaultier, that became popular as instructional books in Nineteenth Century France.
