Cuvier, G. [L. C. F. D.]
Sur les poissons du sous-genre Hydrocyn sur deux nouvelles espèces de Chalceus sur trois nouvelles espèces de Serrasalmes et sur l'Argentina glossodonta de Forskahl qui est l'Albula gonorhynchus de Bloch.
Paris Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle 1819. 4to 31.1 x 22.2 cm. 29 pp. 351-379; three engraved plates numbered 26-28. Disbound. = A seldom-seen paper of taxonomical importance by the great French zoologist and anatomist Georges Jean Léopold Dagobert Cuvier 1769-1832 which lays the foundation for comparative zoology and phylogeny. Cuvier "laid the foundations of comparative anatomy. . 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. Published in the fifth volume of the Muséum's Mémoires. Uncut with the widest possible margins. Some mostly marginal spotting otherwise very good complete. Dean I p. 286. unknown

CUVIER, G.
Tableau élémentaire de l'Histoire Naturelle des Animaux. - FOUNDATIONAL WORK OF MODERN ZOOLOGY AND COMPARATIVE ANATOMY
Paris 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.

Recherches sur les Ossemens Fossiles Où l'on Rétablit Les Caractères de Plusieurs Animaux Dont Les Révolutions du Globe Ont Détruit les Espèces
Paris: Dufour et E. D'Ocagne 1825. Third edition. Quarto 32cm. Seven volumes complete in modern half black morocco green cloth over boards titled in gilt on spines and fronts; modern marbled endpapers; vol. I: vi194340pp; vol. II part I: ivIV2371229-232pp; vol. II part 2: iv239-648pp; vol. III: iv412pp; vol. IV: iv514pp; vol. V part 1: iv4051pp; vol. V part 2: iv 5471pp; 277 engraved plates including frontispiece one plate with hand color and 2 maps 1 letterpress folding table. 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.

Autograph Letter Signed to Mr. Manon "Monsieur le Président"
Paris “au jardin du Roi†1828. In ink on reccto on single folded sheet; with conjugate blank. 1 vols. 8vo. Bookseller's small printed slip affixed to lower left split at fold neatly repaired. In ink on reccto on single folded sheet; with conjugate blank. 1 vols. 8vo. Cuvier the great naturalist and Lutheran who managed to reconcile his beliefs in the Bible with his scientific findings. His work was extremely popular with Christian evangelists in the English-speaking world. This fine letter demonstrates his committment to his religion:<br /> <br /> "L'esperance de pouvoir être utile aux protestants dans les fonctions qui viennent de m'être confiées est le seul motif qui me les ait fait accepter. Je serai charmé de m'entretenir avec Messieurs du consistoire sur ce que votre communion peut avoir à désirer. Je regrette seulement d'avoir à leur proposer un voyage aussi long que celui du jardin du Roi mais c'est le seul endroit ou je puisse les recevoir commodement."<br /> <br /> English translation: "My only motive for accepting the duties which have just been conferred on me is the hope that I can be of some use to protestants. I'll be happy to speak with the gentlemen of the Consistory on whatever subject your communion wants. I only regret that I have to propose such a long voyage as that of the Jardin du Roi . unknown
