First American edition of a landmark in the history of zoology and comparative anatomy the most comprehensive biological work since Linnaeus. “Cuvier’s valuable work represented the fruits of a lifetime’s study of living and fossil animals. In his day Cuvier exerted an enormous influence on science. He played a leading part in the development of the science of palaeontology and stimulated the study of comparative anatomy†G&M. <br /> <br /> “It is in his classification of the animal kingdom into four main groups Vertebrata Mollusca Articulata and Radiata that he is so notably succeeded in giving a lead that has been followed by all his successors. . .Cuvier was the first to apply analyses and comparison to the entire animal kingdom. He also saw that this homogeneity in an individual should enable a competent naturalist to reconstruct a complete animal from any significant part of its anatomy†PMM. G. & C. & H. Carvill unknown

Cuvier has been described as the first scientist to use terms "héréditaire" hereditary in 1807 and "heredity in 1812 in their now biological context. He used both words in promoting the inheritance of acquired characteristics based on his studies of animal behaviour" Wikipedia. Published in the Museum's Annales volume 17. Rare.

1618BIBLIO-18290F.G. Levrault Strasbourg ; Le Normant Paris first edition thus 1816-1830. 60 vols 19th century cloth with red leather spine-panels small 8vo 20 cm. averaging approximately 550 pp per volume. A scarce set comprising the 60 text volumes of this massive and well-regarded work but without the 12 volumes of plates and one of portraits. Vastly expanded and revised from the 1804-06 edition which had run to 6 volumes only the Dictionnaire was under the general editorship of Frederic Cuvier and included contributions from many of the leading scientists of the day; the articles on physics and chemistry for example being written by Lacroix Fourcroy and Chevreul. A later plan to revise and update this 1816-1830 Dictionnaire progressed no further than the issue of a single supplementary volume A-Aye in 1840. An ex-library set with the text complete and in reasonable condition but many bindings in need of repair. Most volumes have wear with some loss to the head and tail of the spines and the majority have some rubbing to the leather spine-panel; subject to this about 38 volumes are Good about 14 volumes have one or both boards detached or are split along one or both joints and about 8 volumes have loss of part or all of the spines. Textblocks are all intact complete and generally Good save for some usually light foxing. Each title-page has a small old library stamp of the Geological Society and a manuscript inscription at the foot noting the Fund through which the volume was bought; each half-title has a small library mar; each front pastedown endpaper has a label setting out the library regulations and "Geological Society" is gilt-blocked at the foort of each spine. Overall Good for the contents save for the library marks and Fair for the bindings. F.G. Levrault, Strasbourg ; Le Normant, Paris, first edition thus, 1816-1830 hardcover
