During his 40 years as lead executioner he was responsible for 299 beheadings. He is considered one of the most famous French executioners. This is due to the fact that most of his executions were public and were widely reported by the media. The advent of the camera made him somewhat of a celebrity.

The death of Henry M. Bernard removes from our midst a friend and fellow-worker who will be greatly missed by a large circle of men of science. Mr. Bernard took mathematical honours at Cambridge as B.A. in 1876, and entered the Church, his last charge being a Chaplaincy at Moscow, which he left in 1888 in order to study Biology under Haeckel at Jena. In 1892 Mr. Bernard published an important monograph on "The Apodidae", his study of these forms leading to papers in the GEOLOGICAL MAGAZINE in 1894 and 1895 on the systematic position of the Trilobites, and on the 'Sandblast' as a method of developing these organisms from the rocks in which they are embedded. In 1894 he began the study of the recent and fossil corals at the British Museum, continuing the quarto 'Illustrated Catalogue of the Madreporaria' originally commenced by the late Mr. George Brook. In this work Mr. Bernard paid much attention to the fossil forms. He continued to work at the corals in the British Museum until 1907. During these thirteen years he prepared five volumes, namely :— Vol. II of the Catalogue on the Turbinaria and Astraeopora. III, on the Montiporina;. IV, Goniopora. V, Porites (Indo-Pacific). VI, Porites and Goniopora.
