Essay on the Theory of the Earth Cambridge Library Collection - Darwin Evolution and Genetics
New York NY: Cambridge University Press 2009. 2nd Edition . Soft cover. Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Ex-library with the usual library markings if not for the library markings this copy would be graded in fine condition; overall a nice used copy! Black and white illustrated wrapper with yellow and green lettering. 332 historical and informative pages nicely enhanced by black and white illustrations! "Essay on the Theory of the Earth was the last work of the scientific writer Robert Kerr who translated it from the introductory essay of George Cuvier's four-volume Recherches sur les ossements fossiles de quadrupèdes. Before its first publication in 1813 the essay was partly expanded by the geologist and natural historian Robert Jameson who wrote a preface and included extensive notes on mineralogy. Using geological evidence as its principal source of enquiry Cuvier's essay attempts to address the questions of the origins of the human race the formation of the earth and the correlation between incomplete fossil remains and existing species of animals. Extremely influential in its own time the essay remains a source of considerable insight into the early development of geological research examining issues of continued significance today. <br/> <br/> Cambridge University Press paperback

CUVIER, Georges LC., Baron; KERR, Robert (translator). L. C.
Essay on the Theory of the Earth. Translated from the French. With mineralogical notes and an account of Cuvier's geological discoveries.
Edinburgh for William Blackwood John Murray & Robert Baldwin 1813. . First English language edition; 8vo 21 x 12.5 cm; engraved frontispiece and 1 plate some toning light spotting and offsetting primarily to the frontispiece titles and plate; recently rebound to style in quarter brown calf black morocco label marbled boards red speckled edges just a little rubbed at the extremities very good condition; 265pp.<br /> First English language edition of Cuvier's important essay establishing the role of cyclical geological catastrophes in palaeontology.<br /><br />Naturalist Georges Cuvier 1769-1832 is considered the founding father of both vertebrate zoology and palaeontology. He established the concept of biological extinction on a factual basis was one of the developers of biostraigraphy and was among the first to suggest that reptiles had previously dominated the earth. Cuvier opposed the evolutionary theories of Lamarck and Saint-Hilaire and posited instead that cyclical geological catastrophes caused the creation and destruction of life basing this on evidence of alternating marine and freshwater fossils in the rocks of the Paris basin. But unlike Biblical catastrophism Cuvier's scientifically-based theory incorporated realistic geological timeframes accepted that the events were localised instead of worldwide and brought catastrophes 'within the "Newtonian" system of unchanging natural laws. However obscure the cause of revolutions might be their repetition implied that they formed part of the ordinary course of nature' Rudwick The Meaning of Fossils p131.<br /><br />'All these ideas were integrated and further developed in the Preliminary Discourse that Cuvier prefixed to his great Researches on the Fossil Bones of Quadrupeds 1812. The attractively written geological essay with which the work began was recognised at once as a work of the highest importance. It was later issued separately as A Discourse on the Revolutions of the Surface of the Globe which went through several editions and was translated into the other main European languages. In this way Cuvier's theory which many years later was give the misleading name of "catastrophism" became widely known and influential among the general reading public as well as among men of science. Cuvier himself rarely used the word "catastrophes" for its overtones of disaster were largely extraneous to his conception of these regular and natural events; he preferred the term "revolutions" for its more Newtonian flavor. Likewise though the editor of the English editions Scottish geologist Robert Jameson 1774-1854 entitled the work Theory of the Earth Cuvier himself always avoided this phrase on account of its associations with the earlier speculative systems he so much deplored' Rudwick p132.<br /><br />This edition is particularly interesting because Jameson added 'lengthy editorial notes' to the text in an attempt to connect Cuvier's catastrophes with the Biblical flood. Using geology to prove the literal truth of the Bible was of much greater concern among British intellectuals than those on the Continent and James's edits led British readers to believe that Cuvier had more interest in this than he did in reality Rudwick pp133-134.<br /> Edinburgh, for William Blackwood, John Murray, & Robert Baldwin, 1813. hardcover
