	Henry Faulds - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Dr Henry Faulds (1 June 1843 - 1930) was a Scottish scientist who is noted for the development of fingerprinting.
		Faulds was born in the Scottish town of Beith.
		In 1888 at the Royal Institution, Galton wrongly claimed that Herschel had suggested forensic usage before Faulds, and it was not until 1917 that Herschel conceded that Faulds had been the first.

	Henry Faulds - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Returning to Britain in 1886, after a quarrel with the Missionary society which ran his hospital in Japan, Faulds offered the concept of fingerprint identification to Scotland Yard but he was dismissed, most likely because he did not present the extensive evidence required to show that prints are durable, unique and practically classifiable.
		Faulds did not believe that individual finger prints were unique and argued throughout his life for a classification scheme based on full sets of ten prints, where the combination of each finger pattern, at the arch-whorl-loop etc. level, forms a ten-part identifier of the set.
		Faulds did not anticipate this, and died believing it to be fallacious.

		Henry Faulds was one of Beith's most illustrious sons and, incidentally, was my great uncle.
		Henry's father obtained a humble post in commerce in Glasgow and Henry, now aged12, was withdrawn from school and employed in the office of his uncle, Thomas Corbett, whose son later became the first Lord Rowallan.
		The police approached Faulds for his help and at the locus of the crime he found a ten-finger impression of prints left on a mug by the sweaty fingers of the thief.

	Dr Henry Faulds Beith Memorial Site - Timeline
		Faulds was born on June 1st, 1843 in Beith, a little town in southwest Scotland.
		Faulds ran his hospital, lectured Japanese medical students, taught Dr. Joseph Lister's antiseptic methods to Japanese surgeons, trekked into the mountains to heal the bedridden, established a society for the blind, and set up lifeguard stations to prevent drowning in nearby canals.
		Now, Faulds began a similar practice, except for one crucial difference-he insisted on inking and printing all ten of his subjects' fingers, a move that would one day make fingerprint sets easier to differentiate in large criminal registers.

		During the 1870's, Dr. Henry Faulds, the British Surgeon-Superintendent of Tsukiji Hospital in Tokyo, Japan, took up the study of "skin-furrows" after noticing finger marks on specimens of "prehistoric" pottery.
		At this time, in British India, Edward Henry, the new administrator of the Bengal District, was experiencing the same problems with the local population as Sir Herschel had.
		Henry used a fraction-type primary classification which took the accrued values of the even numbered fingers as the numerator and the accrued value of the odd numbered fingers as the denominator.

	FINGERPRINT AMERICA
		Faulds had begun his study of what he called “skin-furrows” during the 1870s after looking at fingerprints on pieces of old clay pottery.
		Soon, Faulds began to recognize that the distinctive patterns on fingers held great promise as a means of individual identification, and developed a classification system for recording these inked impressions.
		Henry was then transferred to England, where he began training investigators to use the Henry Classification System after founding Scotland Yard's Central Fingerprint Bureau.

		Faulds referred now for the first time to Herschel, calling his claims allegations, and challenging him to produce an official document he had sent in 1877: "a copy of that semi-official report would go far to settle the question of priority, as its date is nearly two years previous to my having noticed the finger-furrows".
		Faulds letter of 1880 was, what he says it was, the first notice in the public papers, in your columns, of the value of finger-prints for the purpose of identification.
		Faulds did not testify in the trial; the defense had deliberately kept his testimony to the last (not surprisingly, given the nature of their witness); in the end they did not have to resort to him.

		Dr Henry Faulds (1843 – 1930), the Beith born Scottish medical-missionary, was an early pioneer of fingerprints and among the first to recognise the uniqueness of the fingerprint and the potential for forensic application.
		Dr Faulds proved that he could not have been the thief and when they subsequently arrested another suspect he established that it was his fingerprints that had been left at the scene of the crime.
		Sadly for Henry Faulds, for political reasons, his was the name that was least liked in the “official” history of fingerprinting.

		Faulds and an American archeologist, Edward S. Morse struck up a friendship. Morse had traveled to Japan to study brachiopods, a type of shellfish common in its coastal waters.
		But within days of his arrival, he was sidetracked by his discovery of an ancient mound of discarded shells and bones, where long-dead villagers had piled their refuse. The shell mounds were the last remnants of "savage races," as Morse called them, who visited the shore to feast on mollusks and fishes.

		Henry Faulds, a Scottish medical missionary, began promoting fingerprints as a form of identification in 1880.
		Colin Beaven triumphs in several ways, not least in the dramatization of the murder trial -- a strategic case that tilted scientific and popular opinion in favor of the identifying virtues of fingerprints.
		More important for the drama in this story -- and part of why a reader can't stop turning pages -- is that the trial also brought Henry Faulds, one of the most important people in the history of fingerprints, into court as a witness for the defense.
