In the mid—late 16th century,
religious civil war in France drove many
CalvinistHuguenots, such as the Mallets, to seek refuge in Geneva, which had declared itself
Lutheran in 1536. The earliest members of the Mallet family known to have escaped from Normandy were Jacques (1530–1598), from whom all future generations descend, and his brother, Esaïe. After the death of his first wife, Jacquemine Favre, Jacques married Laure Sartoris, daughter of Jean-Léonard, former secretary to
Charles III, Duke of Savoy.[19] The couple had eleven children. The descendants of Gabriel (1572–1651), the ninth child, include
Jacques-André Mallet and the family of the
Barons de Chalmassy. All other significant extant lines descend from Jacques (1575–1657), Gabriel's younger brother.
In 1772, upon the recommendation of his colleague
Voltaire, he accepted a professorship of
French literature at
Kassel.[20][21] Due to severe political criticism of his writing, however, he soon left
the continent for England in search of greater
journalistic freedom. In 1789, he was recruited by
Panckoucke as an editor of the Mercure de France in Paris.[22] He resided in the city until 1792, when he was enlisted by
Louis XVI, who saw du Pan as his political ally, as a special
envoy charged with gathering military support from neighboring leaders.[23] Du Pan participated in drafting precursors to the Brunswick Manifesto,[24][25] and was forced into exile to
Bern in 1797.[26] He returned to England the following year, founded the Mercure britannique, and died of
consumption in 1800.[27][28]
His grandson was the British civil servant Sir Louis Mallet. Through Louis and his brother, Charles (1824–1892), Jacques is the ancestor of many English civil servants and other public figures, including
Louis du Pan Mallet,
Charles Mallet the younger,
Victor Mallet, and John and Richard Butler,
Barons Dunboyne.

Paul Henri Mallet
Paul Henri Mallet (1730–1807) was a scholar and diplomat from Geneva. His nephew, Paul Henri Mallet Prevost (1756–1835), was the progenitor of the American
Mallet-Prevost branch.
After he had completed his duties in Denmark, Mallet journeyed to England to visit the
royal family, which included
Caroline Matilda, the betrothed of his former pupil, Christian. Mallet became the princess'
epistolary literary advisor when she left for Denmark.[42] In 1760, Mallet returned to Geneva, where he was offered a professorship as chair of the department of history and, four years later, a position on the
Council of Two Hundred. Despite his apparent success as an educator, Mallet refused
empress Catherine's offer to tutor her young son,
Paul I.[43][44] Instead, he chose to accompany
Lord Mount Stuart on a
Grand Tour through Europe.[45][46][47]
While in England, Mallet received a commission to create a history for the
House of Hanover. This work, along with another from
Frederick II for the
House of Hesse, was completed in 1785.[44] However, over the next few years, the wealth Mallet had accumulated, including his pensions from the nobility, was essentially dissolved due to ongoing
political turmoil. When the
occupying French government found out about his poor financial state, however, Mallet was supplied with a generous allowance, which he took advantage of for a brief period until his death in 1807 from an acute attack of
paralysis.[48][49] A volume of Mallet's first biography, by
Sismondi, was published in the same year.[50][51]

He was expected to follow the career of his father, who had been a soldier. However, an accident in Jacques-André's youth caused damage to his legs, and he shifted his fascination to academia.[52][53] In 1755, he began his education at the
Academy of Geneva, studying first with mathematician
Louis Necker. His pursuit of knowledge brought him next to Basel in 1760, where he studied with
Daniel Bernoulli, and in 1765 to England and France, where he was inspired by astronomers
Jérôme Lalande,
John Bevis, and
Nevil Maskelyne, among others. Mallet was subsequently invited by
Catherine II and the
Saint Petersburg Academy of Sciences to travel to
Russia to observe the
1769 transit of Venus from
Lapland.[54][55][56] Due to an overcast sky that obscured his view, Mallet's observations in Lapland provided the scientific community with little useful data. Nonetheless, he was awarded honorary membership in the
Saint Petersburg Academy of Sciences.[57][58]
Upon his return to Geneva, Jacques-André was granted a position within the
Council of Two Hundred and an
honorary professorship at his alma mater, the
Academy of Geneva. In 1772, he successfully petitioned the council for approval to build an observatory in
Geneva, the first in the
canton. The observatory's structure and technology were state-of-the-art.[59][60] As director of the observatory, Jacques-André and his students, which included
Marc-Auguste Pictet and
Jean Trembley, conducted research concerning planetary movements, solar eclipses, and other celestial phenomena. As Jacques-André grew ill in subsequent years, he continued his research at the Mallet family chateau in Avully.
His sister married the astronomer
Jean-Louis Pictet, who had joined Mallet on his journey to Russia. Pictet's son, Jean-Pierre, was the father of
François Jules Pictet, whose own son would marry back into the Mallet family in 1863. Jacques-André died in 1790 without issue.

Claude Perier and
Jean-Conrad Hottinguer, helped to
install Napoleon on the French throne.[7] In 1810,
Emperor Napoleon awarded Guillaume a
knighthood[63] and ennobled him as Baron de Chalmassy. Furthermore, Guillaume and his colleagues were given complete control over the newly established
Bank of France, on whose Council of Regents Guillaume was engaged from 1800 until his death.[64] Guillaume's title was subsequently confirmed by
Louis XVIII during the
Restoration. ∞ 1779 Elisabeth Boy de La Tour († 1781), whose wealthy widowed mother, Julie, had assisted a young, displaced
