Speckled sheep ca. 1831 gilt-ruled spines slightly rubbed. Moderate foxing and browning but a fine copy.</p> . <p>First American Edition. See Dibner Heralds of Science 195 Printing and the Mind of Man 276 Garrison-Morton 327. The most influential exposition of the typological approach to animal classification representing the greatest body of zoological facts that had yet been assembled; it served as the standard zoological manual for most of Europe during the first half of the nineteenth century. Cuvier's view of animal organization led him to an early recognition of the balance of nature both with respect to the functional balance of parts in the individual and the interdependence of groups in the "network of nature." However Cuvier's adherence to the concept of species as rigid unchanging types rendered him unable to account for the immense variation within species populations. Coleman pp. 94-98. DSB. </p> .

Original blindstamped cloth gilt-lettered spine some spotting. Minor foxing but very good.</p> <p> First Edition. This work was published as Vol. XI of The Animal Kingdom: Arranged in Conformity with its Organization 1827-35 an English translation of Cuvier's Le règne animal 1817 with additional materials. The present volume is "apparently a supplement Pidgeon prepared for Cuvier's Recherches sur les ossemens fossiles" Smith p. 188 and includes illustrations reproduced from that work. The question of human contemporaneity with extinct fossil mammalia is discussed on pp. 21-36: "The result then of all our investigations serves to prove that the human race was not coeval with the fossil genera and species: for no reason can be assigned why man should have escaped from the revolutions which destroyed those other beings nor if he did not escape why his remains should not be found intermingled with theirs" p. 22. Scheuchzer's Homo diluvii testis later shown to be the fossilized remains of an extinct giant salamander is discussed on pp. 333-334.

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. At the end of Volume IV pp. 95-170 is an important annotated bibliography of zoological literature. Brit. Museum Cat. of Natural History I 410. Brunet II 457 incorrectly citing date 1816.

CUVIER, Baron Georges; LATREILLE, PA P A
Le Règne Animal
Paris: Déterville and Crochard 1829. SECOND EDITION. With 20 full-page etched plates. Contemporary gilt green sheep-backed marbled boards. Ownership stamps of J.E. van der Dussen. 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.
