Third edition of the work in which Cuvier demonstrated the reality of extinction through detailed examination of fossils; a cornerstone work in paleontology biology and geology. Earlier editions appeared in 1812 and 1821-24. When Cuvier began his research in the late eighteenth century it was generally believed that no species had ever gone extinct. "Taking for his field the little-known fossil quadrupeds and applying to them the principles of comparative anatomy Cuvier astonished the world by reconstructing prehistoric forms of animal life whose existence had never been suspected" Glass Temkin & Straus Forerunners of Darwin 253. He established extinction as a fact demonstrated that the age of the earth was greater than six thousand years and did much to establish the fields of comparative anatomy and paleontology. However Cuvier forcefully opposed pre-Darwinian theories of evolution. In the introduction to Ossemens Fossiles later published separately as Discours sur les révolutions de la surface du globe 1826 Cuvier argued in favor of catastrophism-the theory that violent catastrophes like the Biblical flood had caused extinction events and shaped geological features. This theory left room for contemporaries to infer a divine force that caused catastrophes and created new species; thus his research "provided a safety valve . . . between the push of geology and the drag of theology" Forerunners 255. His theories were in part disproven by Darwin and Lyell who demonstrated that both species and geological formations undergo gradual change over time; but Cuvier's ideas about catastrophism were vindicated by more recent research into mass extinction events caused by volanic eruptions and asteroids.

18173707077Paris: Deterville 1817. Some foxing to the plates. Four volumes octavo 15 engraved plates by C.-L. Laurillard a handsome set with all four half-titles in original quarter calf over mottled papered boards gilt double spine labels in red & green. First edition of this germinal work of natural history with three volumes by Cuvier himself and the fourth an important study of insects by his friend and colleague Latreille. Recognised as the father of comparative anatomy Cuvier published widely throughout his lifetime but this was his most famous and influential work and contained the results of all his previous research on the structures of living and fossil animals. It was based upon his vast knowledge of zoological anatomies and in it he applied Linnæus' system of nomenclature and classification to the whole animal kingdom in the process establishing his four great classes: vertebrate molluscous articulate and radiated. Cuvier's work is a benchmark for many reasons not least for the third volume present here which is actually the work of Pierre André Latreille Professor of Entomology at the Paris Museum: Latreille's contribution was not only a significant contribution to his field but he had earlier been heavily involved in characterising the insects collected on the Baudin voyage to Australia and the Pacific. In the present volume Latreille sought to update the foundation work of scholars including Fabricius within Cuvier's framework; as a result Latreille included here many Australian insects including two the 'Rhipcera' and the 'Heleus' noted for the first time. Cuvier born in 1769 was invited by Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire to come to Paris in 1795. He took an appointment at the newly-formed Muséum nationale d'histoire naturelle where he remained until his death from cholera in 1832. He had first publicly canvassed his new quadripartite schema of the animal kingdom in an 1812 presentation to the Academy of Sciences but it was in this work that he first detailed how this proposed division worked in practice. Here each of the classes is discussed in a separate volume with volumes I II and IV by Cuvier himself; his organizations of fish families in particular 'were so soundly based that they have become orders or suborders in present classification' DSB. Throughout his career Cuvier held to the premise of Le Règne Animal that the four branches were fundamentally different and that any similarities between them were due entirely to common functions rather than common ancestry. He did not believe that is that there was any evolutionary adaptation a stance which put him in open conflict with his contemporaries such as Buffon Lamarck and Geoffroy. This led to the famous debate between Cuvier and Geoffroy at the Académie Royale des Sciences in Paris in 1830. Cuvier's towering position in the French natural sciences should be seen in the context of a very cynical view of his ambitions towards intellectual ownership of the science on Freycinet's voyage an idea explored in correspondence between Faujas de Saint Fond and Louis de Freycinet. .

Scarce first edition of a work which laid the foundation of vertebrate paleontology Horblit One Hundred Books 20b. The separately paginated memoirs many of which first appeared in 'Ann. Mus. Hist. Nat. Paris' are here reissued in revised form prefaced by the important 'Discours preliminaire'. Georges Cuvier 1769-1832 was an outstanding French naturalist who helped to found the fields of vertebrate paleontology and comparative anatomy. He was professor of comparative anatomy at the Mus�um d�Histoire Naturelle Paris. As Martin J. S. Rudwick states 'It is difficult to overestimate the huge impact of Cuvier on zoology paleontology and geology.' Significant and highly influential results of Cuvier's palaeontological and geological research were presented in a series of essays published in these four volumes Recherches sur les ossemens fossiles de quadrupe`ds Paris 1812. Rudwick notes that Cuvier �called himself �a new species of antiquarian� who was using fossil bones instead of human artifacts as historical evidence. He therefore argued that naturalists such as himself could and should aspire to �burst the limits of time� � just as astronomers such as Pierre-Simon de Laplace to whom he dedicated his Ossemens fossiles had already �burst the limits of space". Vol. 1 includes Discours pr�liminaire in which Cuvier introduced the idea of geological �revolutions� to explain mass extinctions of prehistoric species. Other papers include an essay on an Egyptian ibis mummy brought from Thebes during Napoleon's campaign in Egypt; and with Alexandre Brogniart 1770-1847 an updated version of Cuvier's important stratigraphical memoir of 1810 Essai sur la G�ographie Min�ralogique des Environs de Paris which contributed to the concept of faunal succession in rock strata of different periods. In Vol. 2 Cuvier describes species of pachyderms found in recent alluvial deposits including elephants mastodons rhinoceros hippopotamus and tapir. In Vol. 3 Cuvier's recalls the challenges of reconstruing fossils of different species. Vol. 4 concerns fossil horses and pigs bears hyenas and big cats and concludes by describing fossil sloths crocodiles turtles and marine dinosaurs.Nissen ZBI 1011; BMNH Cat. I p. 409.

First Edition of Cuviers most comprehensive work which embodied the whole of his previous researches on the structure of living and fossil animals and laid the foundations of modern comparative anatomy. Here Cuvier introduced his famous classification system according to which the animal kingdom is divided into four main groups vertebrata mollusca articulata insects lobsters and radiata all remaining types. "This type theory is Cuviers greatest contribution in the sphere of systematization and represents although in a somewhat modified form the basis of all subsequent animal classification." Nordenskiöld Opposing the current view that the structure of an animal determined its functions and habits Cuvier maintained that an animals structure was due to its functions and habits. Throughj the exact study of the anatomy of living and fossil species he could reconstruct extinct forms from a few surviving bones. At the end of Volume IV pp. 95-170 is an important annotated bibliography of zoological literature. Brit. Museum Cat. of Natural History I 410. Brunet II 457 incorrectly citing date 1816.

About the society: The "The Asiatic Society of Bengal" now simply known as the Asiatic Society was founded in Calcutta in 1784 by British scholar philologist and civil civil Sir William Jones 1746-1794 in the early years of the British Raj. Its purpose as set forth was the furthering of Oriental research of all kinds as well as the collection of manuscripts and other relevant materials. It began publishing the work and research of its members all distinguished scholars in its periodical journal "Asiatick Researches". A museum set up to house and display its holdings as well as act as a hub or research was established in 1814. At first only Europeans could become members but starting in 1829 Indian were allowed to join as well. De L'Imprimerie Impériale hardcover

Also considered are the organs of movement of vertebrate animals; Vol. II addresses the organs of movement of invertebrate animals and the osteology of the head; Vol. III considers the nervous system and sense organs; Vol. IV reviews the organs of mastication salivation and swallowing in vertebrate animals; Vol. V reviews the feeding organs of invertebrate animals; Vol. VI explores the nutritive fluid its reservoirs and the organs that set it in motion in the four types of the animal kingdom; Volume 7 the description of the organs of elaboration and purification of the nutritive fluid through respiration and urinary secretion; and Volume 8 the organs of generation and secretions the swim bladder of the fish and the organs of vocalization.GEORGES CUVIER 1769 – 1832 was a French naturalist and zoologist sometimes referred to as the "founding father of paleontology". Cuvier was a major figure in natural sciences research in the early 19th century and was instrumental in establishing the fields of comparative anatomy and paleontology through his work in comparing living animals with fossils. He expanded Linnaean taxonomy by grouping classes into phyla and incorporating both fossils and living species into the classification. He laid the foundations for a method of analysis and comparison applied to the entire animal kingdom and a new branch of natural history was born thanks to his scientific collaboration with Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire. This was based on the theory that anatomical and physiological characteristics of animals are molded by their environment. He established four major families: vertebrates mollusks arthropods and radiates. He was the first to apply the concept of an ecosystem viewing it as a vast network in which species interact with one another.GARRISON-MORTON No. 311 "Cuvier played a leading part in the development of paleontology and stimulated the study of comparative anatomy. He ranks with von Baer as one of the founders of modern morphology. The posthumous second edition offered here revised and expanded by Georges Cuvier's younger brother Georges-Frédéric Cuvier to 8 vols. appeared from 1835-1846." Crochard et Cie hardcover
