Straight and sound with occasional scattered browning and soil a few page corners neatly restored one plate margin trimmed close to image area but largely clean and bright: Very Good. 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. <br /> <br /> 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.

49275Paris Institut Impériale de France 1809 or 1810. 4to 25.0 x 20.0 cm. 33 pp. Not bound. In a 20th century blue hardcover paper drop-box 26.8 x 22.0 cm with printed label on the top board. = A unique proof printing with several corrections by Brongniart. See DSB: "In 1804 wanting to place the Montmartre bed of fossil formations in time Cuvier with Brongniart began research that led to Géographie minéralogique des environs de Paris 1808 1811 which was rewritten and greatly expanded as Description géologique des environs de Paris 1822 1835. In this work a landmark in the history of geology Cuvier played a lesser role. Brongniart did the necessary fieldwork drawing his inspiration from the works of Buffon Soulavie Ramond Palassu especially Lamarck; the latter had described the fossil invertebrates of the Paris region and in his Hydrogéologie 1802 had set forth the bases of the theory of "current causes" later developed by Constant Prévost. Cuvier respecting the short chronology of the Bible was forced to assume in addition to "current causes" which act very slowly rapid catastrophes and global upheavals which had no basis in fact". This proof was based upon the 1808 text published in the Annales du Muséum d'Histoire naturelle volume XI pp. 293-326. We have added a few pages in photocopy of the final text for comparison. A few small spots on the first and last leaves otherwise a very good clean copy. DSB 3 p. 526; Ward and Carozzi 564. hardcover

It is in his classification of the animal kingdom into four main groups Vertebrata Mollusca Articulata and Radiata that he so notably succeeded in giving a lead that has been followed by all his successors. In contradiction to the current view that the structure of an animal determined its functions and habits Cuvier held that an animal's structure was due to its functions and habits. . He also saw that . homogeneity in an individual should enable a competent naturalist to reconstruct a complete animal from any significant part of its anatomy" PMM.

179829881Paris Baudouin An 6 1798. 8vo. Nice cont. full mottled calf. Richly gilt back. Light wear to lower part of back and a small hole in leather at lower hinge. Red leather titlelabel. XVI710 pp. and 14 engraved plates with many figs. A large clean copy. <br/><br/><em>First edition of Cuvier’s first work on comparative zoology being one of the foundational texts of modern zoology and comparative anatomy. "Cuvier’s Tableau élémentaire – his first separate work – contains the first general statement of his natural classification of the animal kingdom" Norman. The book thus constitutes the first systematic expression of a theory that would dominate zoological thought in the early nineteenth century. For later theorists it provided the essential morphological basis for tracing evolutionary continuity between extinct and living species. Based on the course of lectures delivered at the École du Panthéon Cuvier’s â€Tableau élémentaire presents for the first time his natural classification of the animal kingdom establishing the four great divisions of the animal world: Vertebrata Mollusca Articulata and Radiata – according to anatomical structure rather than superficial resemblance. It was from these studies of structural affinity between living forms that Cuvier developed the principles of comparative anatomy which in turn laid the groundwork for palaeontology as a scientific discipline.
