Paris: A. Belin vols.I-VI; A. Blaise vol.VII1824-1842 7 volumes. Folio 20 x 13 inches. Half-titles 8-page "Avis aux Souscripteurs" bound-in at front of volume one. 432 fine hand-colored lithographic plates by J.C. Werner A. Velin Bregeaut & Cie. Delaport Langlum and C. de Lasteyrie after J.C. Werner de Waily Huet Marchyal and Saulnier EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED with two additional smaller format plates from the 4to issue by and after Werner some light spotting and browning. Contemporary French red half morocco gilt extremities lightly rubbed. The first serious attempt to provide an extensive classified description of mammals. First edition bound from the original 72 parts between 1818 and 1824 when there was a hiatus until 1830 with parts 61 to 72 published between then and 1842. The final part appeared in October 1842. The animals were drawn from life mainly at the zoo in the Jardin des Plantes. The majority of the descriptions were by Cuvier with Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire editing the work and providing occasional articles indicated by his initials at the end of each article. According to the inserted "Avis." the two final parts were edited and seen through the press by Cuvier's son. A quarto edition was started in 1826 but ceased publication with the 13th part in July 1833. The work constitutes the first serious attempt to provide an extensive classified description of mammals: "L'ouvrage que nous publions tait depuis long-temps reconnu necessaire et demand par les naturalistes. L'existence d'un tres-grand nombre d'espces de Mammifres ne reposait que sur des notes imparfaites ou sur de simples phrases caractristiques et la plupart des figures qu'on pouvait citer l'appui des autres taient in correctes. Nos dessins representant chaque animal dans une attitude simple et toujours de profil. et nous aurons soin de donner une figure de face toutes les fois qu'il sera necessaire de voir ainsi les animaux pour les mieux juger." Avertissement vol.I p.I. The work is normally listed as complete with 431 plates in accordance with the "Table Generale et Methodique" at the rear of the final volume however the present copy corresponds to both Brunet and the Avis. note from the final editor of the work who both call for 432 plates. Brunet II 1535; BM NH II p.656; Nissen ZBI 1525; cf. Wood p.354. Catalogued by Kate Hunter. Paris: A. Belin (vols.I-VI); A. Blaise (vol.VII),1824-1842 unknown
Paris Institut Imp�riale de France 1809 or 1810. 4to 25.0 x 20.0 cm. 33 pp. Not bound. In a 20th century blue hardcover paper drop-box 26.8 x 22.0 cm with printed label on the top board. A unique proof printing with several corrections by Brongniart. See DSB: "In 1804 wanting to place the Montmartre bed of fossil formations in time Cuvier with Brongniart began research that led to G�ographie min�ralogique des environs de Paris 1808 1811 which was rewritten and greatly expanded as Description g�ologique des environs de Paris 1822 1835. In this work a landmark in the history of geology Cuvier played a lesser role. Brongniart did the necessary fieldwork drawing his inspiration from the works of Buffon Soulavie Ramond Palassu especially Lamarck; the latter had described the fossil invertebrates of the Paris region and in his Hydrog�ologie 1802 had set forth the bases of the theory of "current causes" later developed by Constant Pr�vost. Cuvier respecting the short chronology of the Bible was forced to assume in addition to "current causes" which act very slowly rapid catastrophes and global upheavals which had no basis in fact". This proof was based upon the 1808 text published in the Annales du Mus�um d'Histoire naturelle volume XI pp. 293-326. We have added a few pages in photocopy of the final text for comparison. A few small spots on the first and last leaves otherwise a very good clean copy. DSB 3 p. 526; Ward and Carozzi 564. hardcover

Later uniform navy buckram with gilt lettered spines. The rare large paper issue of the most important iconography on fishes published in the 19th century if not of all time. The work is usually found in 8vo with either plain or coloured plates. "Nearly all that was known about fishes during the first half of the nineteenth century was summarized by Georges L�opold Chr�tien Fr�d�ric Dagobert Cuvier 1769-1832 and his pupil and successor Achille Valenciennes 1794-1865 in the monumental 'Histoire Naturelle des Poissons'. . It contains descriptions of 4514 nominal species the greater portion approximately two-thirds written by Valenciennes after the death of Cuvier in 1832" T. W. Pietsch. Nevertheless Cuvier remained quoted as co-author. The preface of volume 9 contains Cuvier's eulogy by Valenciennes. ".To-day the work of Cuvier and Valenciennes is indispensable to systematic ichthyology . In many parts of the world people assisted Cuvier with notes manuscripts and particularly specimens. For many years the Jardin des Plantes was the center where all ichthyological materials were deposited. Thus Cuvier was able to bring together the richest and largest contemporary collection of fishes. Althogether his vast communication network huge world-wide collections and extensive ichthyological library made Paris the center of ichthyology and Cuvier the foremost ichthyologist in the world." T. W. Pietsch in Archives of Natural History volume 12. The number of species that are regarded as valid today is immense. The plates are in the realm of the very best ever made; no ichthyological work equals the delicacy of colouring and precision of engraving. The plates of volumes 19 and 20 are not coloured; those in volume 6 are on smaller sheets mounted to match; the smaller plate 245 is probably from another octavo copy. A complete collation is available upon request. Regarding text and plates this set is complete. This set is very reasonably priced as the text and plates are partly seriously affected by foxing. Generally the text leaves are more affected than the plates; some sections and volumes are quite clean. Cat. BMNH p. 411; Dean I p. 287; Nissen SFB 46; Nissen ZBI 1017. hardcover

Paris J. B. Bailli�re et Fils 1869. 8vo 22.4 x 14.5 cm. Half-title title page and 72 engraved plates tissue-guarded with explanatory text leaves and short index. Original printed boards. Spine with cloth cover and printed paper label. This posthumously published and much improved work contains fine engravings by Gu�rin Travi�s and Pr�tre with a total of 464 figures as well as descriptive text. The number LXXI on the title page is not correct. This has been corrected on the front board which is dated 1870 instead of 1869. Plain copy. The superb engravings however would lose some of their fine details when coloured. Some light foxing but nearly all plates clean. Ronsil 700; not in Nissen. hardcover
Paris Crochard 1835-1846. Eight volumes in nine I-IV.1 IV.2-VIII. 8vo 21.0 x 12.6 cm. I 1835: xxxiii 587 i; II 1837: viii 726; III 1845: iv 760; IV.1 1835: IV.2 1835: xxii 628 iv; V 1837: 691 i; viii 503; table; VI1839: vii 559 i; VII1840: viii 656; VIII 1846: xii 848. Text with two folded tables. Contemporary uniform green half morocco over green marbled boards. Spines with gilt ornaments and title. All edges speckled. An attractively bound complete set of the important second edition highly enlarged by George Cuvier's brother Fr�d�ric Cuvier volumes I-III his personal secretery Charles-L�opold Laurillard volumes II-III and his assistant George Louis Duvernoy volumes IV-VIII; published with two large folded tables viz. Tableau des mesures des globules du Chyle. dans les vert�bres and Bile de boeuf et humaine and another long table in vol. IV.1 viz. Nombre des dents de chaque sorte dans les mammif�res as well as several smaller tables. "Cuvier ranks with Von Baer as one of the founders of modern morphology" Horblit. Old rather vague private owner's stamp of Gustave Morel probably the French Doctor of Theology and Professor at the l'Institut catholique de Paris Abb� Joseph Marie Gustave Morel 1872-1905. One book dealer suggests that volume I should inlude a latter in facsimile - this is incorrect; the preliminary text includes a printed edition of 21 pp. of a letter from Cuvier to his colleague Jean-Claude Mertrud 1728-1802. A few pages with the lower edge shorter not affecting the text; a few leaves in the preliminary section of vol. V with a tear in the gutter affecting some text one leaf with a larger marginal chip just reaching one letter; the Globules table in photocopy on old paper. The bindings are very attractive. This second edition seems to be less common than the first one probably because it was published over an unusual long period. Horblit 20a for the first edition 1805; Nissen ZBI 1008. hardcover
