184394472Fortin, Masson & Cie, 1843, in-8, 2 vol, [4]-351 + [4]-440 pp, Veau vert de l'époque, dos à faux nerfs et fleuronné, plaque romantique à froid sur les plats et filet d'encadrement doré, tranches marbres, Édition originale de ces deux tomes qui feront partie de l'Histoire des sciences naturelles, depuis leur origine jusqu'à nos jours, chez tous les peuples connus, en cinq volumes (Paris, Fortin & Masson, 1841-1845) : ils en forment la troisième partie, qui sera publiée en 1845 en tant que tomes IV et V. La rédaction de ces tomes est due à Magdeleine de Saint-Agy, qui indique avoir "complété" le cours de Cuvier, d'après la sténographie prise au cours des leçons au Collège de France. Ces deux volumes parus isolément se rencontrent rarement. Ces leçons de Cuvier commencèrent à la fin de l'année 1829, au moment où il réintégra sa chaire au Collège de France. Il s'agit de son tout dernier cours, qu'il laissa inachevé à sa mort. Le célèbre naturaliste, qui n'avait pas prévu d'en faire la publication, ne les avait pas non plus retranscrits dans leur totalité : confiant dans son talent d'orateur, il réalisait de "brillants discours (...) improvisés sur de simples notes et [qui] n'existent plus maintenant" (Sarah Lee, p. 226-228). Néanmoins, ses cours ont fait l'objet, dans les feuilletons du Temps, de comptes-rendus médiocres, qu'il réprouvait. Magdeleine de Saint-Agy annonce ainsi rattraper les erreurs des journaux, en prétendant avoir l'assentiment de Cuvier : "[J'écrivis] à M. le baron Cuvier. Le 10 avril 1830, il me fit l'honneur de me répondre : qu'il n'avait aucun motif personnel d'empêcher que je publiasse ses leçons; mais qu'il faudrait éviter la foule d'anachronismes et d'altérations de noms d'auteurs qui s'était glissée dans les articles des journaux; car autrement mon travail serait peu utile" (préface du rédacteur, tome Ier de l'Histoire des sciences naturelles, 1841, p. I). Dos insolé, rousseurs. Theodore Wells Pietsch. Introduction In : Cuvier's History of the Natural Sciences : Twenty lessons from the first half of the Eighteenth Century [en ligne].

182994471Paris, Déterville, 1829-1830, in-8, 5 vol, 20 pl, Veau olive glacé de l'époque, dos lisses ornés de fleurons dorés et à froid, roulette d'encadrement sur les plats, tranches marbrées, 20 planches gravées sur cuivre d'après Laurillard. Deuxième édition de cet ouvrage qui pose les fondements de l'anatomie comparée. Il est le fruit de tout une vie d'étude des animaux vivants et fossiles. La première édition fut publiée en 1817, chez le même éditeur. Grâce à la qualité de son travail d'observation, Cuvier (1769-1832) a posé les bases d'une méthode d'analyse et de comparaison à l'ensemble du règne animal et a établi l'Anatomie Comparée : cette science, nouvelle branche de l'histoire naturelle, est née grâce à la collaboration scientifique avec Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, son ami d'alors. Sa méthode d'analyse et de comparaison à l'ensemble du règne animal le conduit à une classification reposant sur l'idée que les critères anatomiques et physiologiques des animaux sont dus à leur fonction et habitats et non l'inverse. Il décrit ainsi quatre grandes familles : les animaux vertébrés, les mollusques, les articulés et les radiaires. Face à Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, qui deviendra son rival, il niera farouchement les liens que ces animaux, ainsi distingués, pourraient avoir entre eux et il s'aveuglera quant à la question de l'évolution des espèces.

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.

A fine set. Second edition enlarged of this 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 /> “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.<br /> See PMM 276; Garrison-Morton 327; Dibner 195.

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. <p><p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> </p> .

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.</p><p><strong>GEORGES CUVIER </strong>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.</p><p><strong>GARRISON-MORTON </strong>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."</p> Crochard et Cie hardcover
