Gustave de Beaumont

Comte Gustave Auguste Bonnin de la Bonninière de Beaumont (February 6, 1802 – March 30, 1866) was a French magistrate, prison reformer, and travel companion to the famed philosopher and politician Alexis de Tocqueville. While he was very successful in his lifetime, he is often overlooked by historians, and his name is synonymous with Tocqueville's achievements.^{[citation needed]}
