From Wikipedia: "None of Cuvier's works attained a higher reputation than his Règne Animal distribué d'après son Organisation pour servir de base à l'Histoire Naturelle des Animaux et d'Introduction à l'Anatomie Comparée the first edition of which appeared in four octavo volumes in 1817 and the second in five volumes in 1829-30. In this classic work Cuvier embodied the results of the whole of his previous researches on the structure of living and fossil animals. The whole of the work was his own with the exception of the section on Insecta in which he was assisted by his friend Latreille. It was translated into English many times often with substantial notes and supplementary material updating the book in accordance with the expansion of knowledge.". G. & C. & H. Carvill Hardcover
