This portrait shows Cuvier 1769-1832 the famous French "polygraphe" founder of vertebrate palaeontology member of the Académie Française and Secretary to the Academy of Sciences. He also established the Mollusca as a class and therefore he is the founder of malacology. On this portrait Cuvier can be seen wearing a Napoleonic Legion d'honneur medal.

No final da obra apresentam-se 3 índices das classes ordens e géneros respectivamente em língua portuguesa em nomes latinos e em língua francesa.</p>_x000d_<p>A importância desta obra reside exactamente nestes índices e em toda a nomenclatura portuguesa introduzida na obra que foi da inteira responsabilidade de Félix de Avelar Brotero. Deste modo a obra possui dois prefácios: o prefácio do tradutor António d´Almeida e o prefácio do nomenclador português Avelar Brotero que por ordem superior foi encarregado de juntar os nomes portugueses aos nomes franceses e latinos tarefa segundo o mesmo muito difícil devido ao estado da ciência em Portugal e ao período das Invasões Napoleónicas de que resultava não existirem nem obras portuguesas nem zoólogos em Portugal para esta tarefa. A ciência portuguesa tinha-se baseado no profundo conhecimento prático das espécies trazidas das colónias e na sua acumulação em colecções sendo arrumadas o melhor possível dentro das classificações lineanas. Nesta obra Brotero afirma que reviu corrigiu e anotou esta obra de Cuvier procurando não desfigurar a versão portuguesa com galicismos e efectuando uma investigação aos vocabulários portugueses. Esta obra de Zoologia publicada em 1797-98 em França foi a mais reputada na sua época tendo portanto a sua tradução para português resultado do interesse de António d´Almeida durante o período que residiu em Londres e do patrocínio régio através do embaixador português em Inglaterra - o Conde do Funchal que requereu os serviços de Félix Avelar Brotero.</p>_x000d_<p>Inocêncio I 83 e II 262 ANTONIO DE ALMEIDA Comendador da Ordem de Cristo Cirurgião da Real Câmara Lente de operações no Hospital Real de S.

At the end of the book there are three indexes of classes orders and types in Portuguese Latin names and French respectively.</p>_x000d_<p>The importance of this work lies exactly in these indexes and in all the Portuguese nomenclature introduced in the work which was entirely the responsibility of Félix de Avelar Brotero. Thus the work has two prefaces: the preface by the translator António d"Almeida and the preface by the Portuguese nomenclator Avelar Brotero who 'by superior order was charged with joining the Portuguese names to the French and Latin names' a task according to him very difficult due to the state of science in Portugal and the period of the Napoleonic Invasions which resulted in there being neither Portuguese works nor zoologists in Portugal for this task. Portuguese science had been based on a deep practical knowledge of the species brought from the colonies and their accumulation in collections being 'arranged' as best as possible within the Linean classifications. In this work Brotero states that he revised corrected and annotated Cuvier"s work trying not to disfigure the Portuguese version with Gallicisms and carrying out research into Portuguese vocabularies. This work of Zoology published in 1797-98 in France was the most reputed in its time and its translation into Portuguese resulted from the interest of António d"Almeida during the period he lived in London and from the royal patronage through the Portuguese ambassador in England - the Count of Funchal - who requested the services of Félix Avelar Brotero.</p>_x000d_<p>Inocencio I 83 and II 262 'ANTONIO DE ALMEIDA Commander of the Order of Christ Surgeon of the Royal Chamber Professor of Operations at the Royal Hospital of St. Joseph Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of London etc. - I don"t know for the moment what concerns his birthplace and date of birth but I only know that he was from the province of Beira son of Doctor José Diogo and his wife D.

51-5714Paris Déterville 1812. 4 volumes. 4to. 21 x 27cm Later qtr goatskin with matching brown marbled boards. With 152 engraved plates of 154. Fine condition.Contents: T. 1. Discours preÌliminaire et la geÌographie mineÌralogique des environs de Paris.t. 2. Pachydermes des couches meubles et des terrains d'alluvion.t. 3. Os fossiles des environs de Paris.t. 4. Ruminans les onguiculeÌs et les reptiles fossiles .Vol. 1 includes Discours préliminaire 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 Géographie Minéralogique 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.OCLC Number988198; Nissen ZBI 1011; BMNH Cat. I p. 409.Near the end of the eighteenth century scholars disputed whether fossils represented life forms that no longer existed or whether—as the Comte de Buffon at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris believed—the fossils found in Europe and America represented animals that had migrated to the tropics. Buffon argued that God would not have let his creations go extinct. In 1796 Cuvier presented a paper to the National Institute of Sciences and Arts in Paris in which he compared the anatomy of living and fossil elephants thus proving extinction to be a fact as the fossil elephants had not been seen by recent humans. In the following years Cuvier continued to document the extinction of animals such as the giant ground sloth the Irish elk and the American mastodon.Cuvier's research on extinct forms led him to investigate the causes of extinction. He proposed a catastrophist geological history of the earth. Édition originale de cet ouvrage important dans le domaine de la paléontologie.
