1840103226Paris, H. Cousin, 1840, in-8, 355 pp, 5 pl, Veau marbré de l'époque, dos lisse et fileté, pièce de titre fauve, tranches marbrées, Huitième édition séparée du Discours préliminaire aux Recherches sur les ossements fossiles de quadrupèdes, publiées en 1812. Bien complet des deux tableaux dépliants et des cinq planches qui illustrent plusieurs squelettes fossilisés. Ce discours, dans lequel Georges Cuvier (1769-1832) expose ses idées sur les cataclysmes, connut un succès considérable et fut traduit et réédité à maintes reprises. La première édition séparée est publiée en 1825 (Paris, G. Dufour et Ed. D'ocagne). L'auteur y défend l'idée qu'il n'existerait pas de fossile en dehors de ceux créés par les catastrophes du passé; autrement dit, il y aurait eu autant de cataclysmes que d'âges fossiles, chaque espèce disparaissant de la surface de la terre lors de ces bouleversements, dont le dernier coïnciderait avec le Déluge de la Bible. De fait, cet ouvrage est la confirmation de ses idées résolument fixistes. Cuvier est considéré comme le fondateur de la paléontologie et de l'anatomie comparée. Il a été le premier à appliquer la notion d'équilibre à la nature, en l'envisageant comme un immense réseau au sein duquel les espèces dépendaient les unes des autres. Cet esprit brillant, qui publia près de 19000 volumes et pamphlets au cours de sa vie, endossa plusieurs fonctions importantes : celles de professeur au Collège de France et au Muséum, de secrétaire perpétuel de l'Académie des Sciences ou encore d'inspecteur général de l'Instruction publique. Pourtant, sa croyance dans la préexistence des germes ne le disposait pas à admettre l'idée transformiste. À l'inverse, il tira avantage de sa gloire académique pour défendre la théorie créationniste : il s'opposa à Lamarck, qu'il railla jusque dans son éloge funèbre (1832), et à Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, avec lequel il entra dans la controverse dite "des crocodiles de Caen". Coins usés, rousseurs claires. DSB, T.III, pp. 521-527. En français dans le texte, 223. Couverture rigide

Scarce generally very scarce as found here completely unsophisticated. "Davy's widow Jane Davy began the biographical process just over a month after his death in Geneva on 29 May 1829 when she set about collecting materials for her husband's biography initially for the éloge to be delivered by Georges Cuvier 1769-1832 to the Académie Royale des Sciences in Paris. In November 1819 Davy had been elected one of the eight foreign associates of the Académie the supreme accolade for a European man of science. That Jane Davy chose to concentrate on the Académie rather than the Royal Society of London of which Davy had been President between 1820 and 1827 suggests both the influence of her sense of European identity as well as some ill will on her part towards the Society."
