No final da obra apresentam-se 3 índices das classes ordens e géneros respectivamente em língua portuguesa em nomes latinos e em língua francesa. A importância desta obra reside exactamente nestes índices e em toda a nomenclatura portuguesa introduzida na obra que foi da inteira responsabilidade de Félix de Avelar Brotero. Deste modo a obra possui dois prefácios: o prefácio do tradutor António d´Almeida e o prefácio do nomenclador português Avelar Brotero que por ordem superior foi encarregado de juntar os nomes portugueses aos nomes franceses e latinos tarefa segundo o mesmo muito difícil devido ao estado da ciência em Portugal e ao período das Invasões Napoleónicas de que resultava não existirem nem obras portuguesas nem zoólogos em Portugal para esta tarefa. A ciência portuguesa tinha-se baseado no profundo conhecimento prático das espécies trazidas das colónias e na sua acumulação em colecções sendo arrumadas o melhor possível dentro das classificações lineanas. Nesta obra Brotero afirma que reviu corrigiu e anotou esta obra de Cuvier procurando não desfigurar a versão portuguesa com galicismos e efectuando uma investigação aos vocabulários portugueses. Esta obra de Zoologia publicada em 1797-98 em França foi a mais reputada na sua época tendo portanto a sua tradução para português resultado do interesse de António d´Almeida durante o período que residiu em Londres e do patrocínio régio através do embaixador português em Inglaterra - o Conde do Funchal que requereu os serviços de Félix Avelar Brotero. Inocêncio I 83 e II 262 ANTONIO DE ALMEIDA Comendador da Ordem de Cristo Cirurgião da Real Câmara Lente de operações no Hospital Real de S. José Membro do Real Colégio dos Cirurgiões de Londres etc. - Ignoro por agora o que diz respeito à sua naturalidade e data do nascimento constando-me apenas que era da província da Beira filho do Doutor José Diogo e de sua mulher D. Ana de Almeida. Morreu no Campo Grande próximo de Lisboa a 30 de Julho de 1822. Quadro Elementar da Historia dos Animauis por Mr. Cuvier traduzido em portuguez. Londres por H. Bryer 1815. 8.º gr. 2 volumes com estampas. - Esta tradução foi empreendida por conselho e a instâncias do Conde do Funchal embaixador em Londres onde Almeida também se achava naquele tempo. A nomenclatura portuguesa é toda do Doutor Brotero que dela se encarregou por ordem superior como ele próprio adverte em uma prefação colocada no princípio do tomo I. BROTERO: Afora estes trabalhos é sua a Nomenclatura portuguesa que fez para o Quadro elementar da Hist. natural dos Animaes de Cuvier traduzido por A. de Almeida. EN 2 volumes. In octavo. 21x12 cm. xix-458 and 424-xxix pp. Contemporary full leather binding with fine gold tooling on the spines. Profusely illustrated with 14 lithographs. The 2nd volume has an oleographic ownership stamp on the title page. The title pages of both volumes with light traces of acidulation. Illustrations. In the 1st volume: 7 lithographed prints by J. Walker with anatomical aspects allowing the classification of mammals and birds. 1 fold-out table with the general classification of the classes of animals 1 fold-out table with the classification of mammals 1 fold-out table with the classification of birds 1 fold-out table with the classification of reptiles 1 fold-out table with the classification of fishes. In the 2nd volume: 7 lithographed prints by J. Walker with anatomical aspects that allow the classification of other animals such as insects and even corals. 1 fold-out table with the classification of molluscs 1 fold-out table with the classification of insects 1 table with the classification of crustaceans 1 fold-out table with the classification of zoophytes including corals. At the end of the book there are three indexes of classes orders and types in Portuguese Latin names and French respectively. The importance of this work lies exactly in these indexes and in all the Portuguese nomenclature introduced in the work which was entirely the responsibility of Félix de Avelar Brotero. Thus the work has two prefaces: the preface by the translator António d"Almeida and the preface by the Portuguese nomenclator Avelar Brotero who 'by superior order was charged with joining the Portuguese names to the French and Latin names' a task according to him very difficult due to the state of science in Portugal and the period of the Napoleonic Invasions which resulted in there being neither Portuguese works nor zoologists in Portugal for this task. Portuguese science had been based on a deep practical knowledge of the species brought from the colonies and their accumulation in collections being 'arranged' as best as possible within the Linean classifications. In this work Brotero states that he revised corrected and annotated Cuvier"s work trying not to disfigure the Portuguese version with Gallicisms and carrying out research into Portuguese vocabularies. This work of Zoology published in 1797-98 in France was the most reputed in its time and its translation into Portuguese resulted from the interest of António d"Almeida during the period he lived in London and from the royal patronage through the Portuguese ambassador in England - the Count of Funchal - who requested the services of Félix Avelar Brotero.

Bryer 1815. 8th gr. 2 volumes with prints. - This translation was undertaken on the advice and at the instigation of the Count of Funchal ambassador in London where Almeida was also at the time. The Portuguese nomenclature is all by Dr. Brotero who was in charge of it by superior order as he himself warns in a foreword placed at the beginning of volume I. BROTERO: Besides these works is his Portuguese Nomenclature which he made for the elementary Table of the Natural History of Animals by Cuvier translated by A. de Almeida.

CONTENTS: Vol. I contains the principal discussion of Cuvier's famous theory of the correlation of parts- the functional relationship of each bodily organ to every other organ. Also considered are the organs of movement of vertebrate animals; Vol. II addresses the organs of movement of invertebrate animals and the osteology of the head; Vol. III considers the nervous system and sense organs; Vol. IV reviews the organs of mastication salivation and swallowing in vertebrate animals; Vol. V reviews the feeding organs of invertebrate animals; Vol. VI explores the nutritive fluid its reservoirs and the organs that set it in motion in the four types of the animal kingdom; Volume 7 the description of the organs of elaboration and purification of the nutritive fluid through respiration and urinary secretion; and Volume 8 the organs of generation and secretions the swim bladder of the fish and the organs of vocalization. GEORGES CUVIER 1769 – 1832 was a French naturalist and zoologist sometimes referred to as the "founding father of paleontology". Cuvier was a major figure in natural sciences research in the early 19th century and was instrumental in establishing the fields of comparative anatomy and paleontology through his work in comparing living animals with fossils. He expanded Linnaean taxonomy by grouping classes into phyla and incorporating both fossils and living species into the classification. He laid the foundations for a method of analysis and comparison applied to the entire animal kingdom and a new branch of natural history was born thanks to his scientific collaboration with Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire. This was based on the theory that anatomical and physiological characteristics of animals are molded by their environment. He established four major families: vertebrates mollusks arthropods and radiates. He was the first to apply the concept of an ecosystem viewing it as a vast network in which species interact with one another. GARRISON-MORTON No. 311 "Cuvier played a leading part in the development of paleontology and stimulated the study of comparative anatomy. He ranks with von Baer as one of the founders of modern morphology.

ref. 67369Paris A. Belin 1819-1829. Large folio approximately 53 x 35 cm. Five plates with explanatory text leaves. Not bound as issued. = Rare part of 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. This section contains the Australian marsupials - a very little-known group then. It includes "Le wumbat" wombat; "Kanguroo ou macrope géant" two plates one with the red kangaroo the other with the grey kangaroo; Kanguroo ou halmature thétis" probably a "wallaroo"; and "Phalanger de Cook" Australian ring-tailed possum. All as issued without stamps annotations or other markings. All text leaves and all plates uncut and untrimmed resulting in very large margins. Due to these large margins some edges a bit frayed or with minor tears. Two plates irregularly age-toned a few text pages spotted. In all a set in very good condition.
