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. '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. 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.

Scarce first edition of a work which laid the foundation of vertebrate paleontology Horblit One Hundred Books 20b. The separately paginated memoirs many of which first appeared in 'Ann. Mus. Hist. Nat. Paris' are here reissued in revised form prefaced by the important 'Discours preliminaire'. Georges Cuvier 1769-1832 was an outstanding French naturalist who helped to found the fields of vertebrate paleontology and comparative anatomy. He was professor of comparative anatomy at the Mus�um d�Histoire Naturelle Paris. As Martin J. S. Rudwick states 'It is difficult to overestimate the huge impact of Cuvier on zoology paleontology and geology.' Significant and highly influential results of Cuvier's palaeontological and geological research were presented in a series of essays published in these four volumes Recherches sur les ossemens fossiles de quadrupe`ds Paris 1812. Rudwick notes that Cuvier �called himself �a new species of antiquarian� who was using fossil bones instead of human artifacts as historical evidence. He therefore argued that naturalists such as himself could and should aspire to �burst the limits of time� � just as astronomers such as Pierre-Simon de Laplace to whom he dedicated his Ossemens fossiles had already �burst the limits of space". Vol. 1 includes Discours pr�liminaire in which Cuvier introduced the idea of geological �revolutions� to explain mass extinctions of prehistoric species. Other papers include an essay on an Egyptian ibis mummy brought from Thebes during Napoleon's campaign in Egypt; and with Alexandre Brogniart 1770-1847 an updated version of Cuvier's important stratigraphical memoir of 1810 Essai sur la G�ographie Min�ralogique des Environs de Paris which contributed to the concept of faunal succession in rock strata of different periods. In Vol. 2 Cuvier describes species of pachyderms found in recent alluvial deposits including elephants mastodons rhinoceros hippopotamus and tapir. In Vol. 3 Cuvier's recalls the challenges of reconstruing fossils of different species. Vol. 4 concerns fossil horses and pigs bears hyenas and big cats and concludes by describing fossil sloths crocodiles turtles and marine dinosaurs.Nissen ZBI 1011; BMNH Cat. I p. 409.

First editiuon of Cuvier's first work on comparative zoology in which he showed the affinities and similarities in the structure of present forms of animals researches which resulted in comparison with older forms and thereby giving the material for other theorists to suggest evolutionary lines and links. Cuvier is considered as the founder of modern palaeontology by this and his later published work "Recherches sur les ossemens fossiles.""Cuvier's first separate work "Tableau.1798" is based on a course of lectures he had delivered at l'Ecole du Pantheon.
