Culvier was a French naturalist and zoologist sometimes referred to as the "founding father of paleontology". Cuvier is also remembered for strongly opposing theories of evolution believing there was no evidence for evolution but rather evidence for cyclical creations and destructions of life forms by global extinction events such as deluges and becoming the most influential proponent of catastrophism in geology in the early 19th century. A very nice copy of this very scarce foundational paleontology text. Whittaker, Treacher, and Arnot hardcover

Scarce generally very scarce as found here completely unsophisticated. "Davy's widow Jane Davy began the biographical process just over a month after his death in Geneva on 29 May 1829 when she set about collecting materials for her husband's biography initially for the éloge to be delivered by Georges Cuvier 1769-1832 to the Académie Royale des Sciences in Paris. In November 1819 Davy had been elected one of the eight foreign associates of the Académie the supreme accolade for a European man of science. That Jane Davy chose to concentrate on the Académie rather than the Royal Society of London of which Davy had been President between 1820 and 1827 suggests both the influence of her sense of European identity as well as some ill will on her part towards the Society."

rif. 66585Paris A. Belin 1819-1825. Large folio approximately 53 x 35 cm. Seven hand-coloured lithographed plates with explanatory text leaves. Not bound as issued. = A magnificent publication with fine large plates of mammals from all over the world. The authors Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire 1772-1844 and Fréderic Cuvier 1769-1832 were the leading authorities in mammalogy in the first half of the 19th century and the "Histoire naturelle des mammifères" is widely regarded as their magnum opus. From this work these are the bovines including wild and domesticated species. The following are included: Le Bison d'Amérique Bison bison or North American buffalo a young cow an adult bull and a one month old calf on three different plates; Le Buffle Bos bubalus the Italian buffalo of mozzarella fame; Jungly-Gau femelle and mâle two plates of Bos sylhetanus a wild Asian bovine or gaur described here by Cuvier; and the Zébu femelle Bos indicus; a zebu cow the figured animal was from India. All as issued without stamps annotations or other markings. All text leaves and all plates uncut untrimmed resulting in very big margins. Due to these large margins some edges a bit frayed or with minor tears. The plates are hardly spotted if at all some text leaves are somewhat spotted but mainly in the margins. Generally this set is in a very good condition. Brunet II p. 1536; Nissen ZBI 1525; Casey Wood p. 354. unknown

1829rif. 94471Paris, 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.
