Albert Aupetit, 1876-1943.

Early French follower of Leon Walras, later an official of the Banque de France. 

Aupetit is most notable for his 1901 book attempting to extend Walras's encaisse desirée theory of money. It includes an attempt at a simple exposition of Walrasian general equilibrium theory.  Aupetit's treatise was famously taken to task by the Italian economist Pasquale Boninsegni, for its continued attachment to cardinal utility.
