Lemuel Shattuck (15 October 1793, in Ashby, Massachusetts – 17 January 1859, in Boston, Massachusetts) was an American educator, politician, historian, bookseller, and publisher.

Biography

Shattuck taught at Troy and Albany, and from 1818 to 1821, he was at the frontier outpost of Detroit, where he taught at a Lancasterian school affiliated with the Catholepistemiad, which later became known as the University of Michigan.[1]

Shattuck became a merchant as a bookseller and publisher in Concord, Massachusetts, in 1823 and was elected as a member of the American Antiquarian Society in 1831.[2] He was a member of the Boston City Council and served for several years as a representative in the Massachusetts House of Representatives. In 1844, he co-founded the New England Historic Genealogical Society, serving as its vice president for five years. He was also a member of various similar societies.

At the age of 46, Shattuck retired from business to devote himself to his other interests. His research for his 1835 book on Concord history pointed up to him the neglect of vital records. This was one of his motivations for joining others to found the American Statistical Association in 1839. He also promoted legislation that required a better system for the registration of vital information. This law was passed in 1842. His work on a Boston census in 1845 resulted in him being summoned as a consultant for the 1850 United States Census. His Report on the Sanitary Condition of Massachusetts in 1850 on a sanitary survey of Massachusetts was later praised as amazingly farsighted. [3] His role in designing and implementing the Boston Census of 1845 took him to Washington to help design federal models based on the same.[4] His Report of the Sanitary Commission of Massachusetts in 1850 has been described as a prophetic document in its anticipation of public health developments.[5]

In 1825, he married Clarissa Baxter, and he was survived by three children.[3]
