Born in Paris in 1729, Ballière got his graduation from the University of Sorbonne as bachelor of arts in 1746. His uncle Charles Delaisement practised as apothecary in Rouen and Ballière obtained there his mastership in 1756. Concomitantly, he composed the poetry and music of several opéras-comiques in the style of pastorales, which were performed with success in Rouen and Paris theaters. He was a fine writer and a real erudite. As well, his capacity in mathematics lead him to set up a theory applicated to both acoustic and music. In 1764 was published his Théorie de la musique in which he analysed the works of Descartes, Sauveur, Wallis, Tartini, Rameau, d'Alembert and Diderot. Rousseau greeted this work with consideration. When his uncle died in 1768, he fully engaged in the pharmaceutical profession. Since 1754, he had been a member of the Académie de Rouen, in which he was scientific secretary in 1769 and president in 1784, publishing different works among them its Essai sur les problèmes de situation - regarding the probability calculus - can be mentioned. In 1779, he translated into French John Ellis's book on Mangostan. He died in Rouen in 1800.
巴利埃于1729年出生在巴黎，1746年毕业于索邦大学，获得文学学士学位。他的叔叔查尔斯·德拉塞门特在鲁昂当药剂师，1756年巴利埃在那里获得了药剂师资格。与此同时，他创作了几部田园风格的喜歌剧的诗歌和音乐，这些作品在鲁昂和巴黎的剧院成功上演。他是一位优秀的作家，也是一位真正的博学之士。此外，他的数学才能使他建立了一种应用于声学和音乐的理论。1764年，他的《音乐理论》出版，在书中他分析了笛卡尔、索弗尔、沃利斯、塔尔蒂尼、拉莫、达朗贝尔和狄德罗的作品。卢梭对这部作品给予了关注。1768年他的叔叔去世后，他全身心投入到制药行业。自1754年以来，他一直是鲁昂科学院的成员，1769年担任科学院的科学秘书，1784年担任院长，期间发表了不同的作品，其中可以提到他关于概率计算的《位置问题随笔》。1779年，他将约翰·埃利斯关于山竹果的书翻译成法语。他于1800年在鲁昂去世。
