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.

1827réf. 40223Paris 1827. Cuvier Georges 1769-1832. Letter signed to Samuel H. Christie 1784-1865. Paris 29 October 1827. 1 sheet on letterhead of the Académie Royale des Sciences. 222 x 169 mm. Trimmed at head affecting printed letterhead but not the manuscript text. Very good. From the great French naturalist and zoologist Baron Cuvier whose work helped to establish the modern sciences of paleontology and comparative anatomy to British mathematician and physicist Samuel Hunter Christie who made important contributions to the study of magnetism. Cuvier was perpetual secretary of the Académie des sciences and his letter to Christie acknowledging Christie's donation of several of his papers on magnetism to the Académie is written in that capacity. "L'Académie Monsieur a reçu les ouvrages que vous avez bien voulu lui adresser extraits des transactions philosophiques . . . J'ai l'honneur de vous offrir les remerciemens de l'Académie et de vous témoigner en son nom tout le prix qu'elle attache à ces publications . . ."

Bookseller's small printed slip affixed to lower left split at fold neatly repaired. In ink on reccto on single folded sheet; with conjugate blank. 1 vols. 8vo. Cuvier the great naturalist and Lutheran who managed to reconcile his beliefs in the Bible with his scientific findings. His work was extremely popular with Christian evangelists in the English-speaking world. This fine letter demonstrates his committment to his religion: "L'esperance de pouvoir être utile aux protestants dans les fonctions qui viennent de m'être confiées est le seul motif qui me les ait fait accepter. Je serai charmé de m'entretenir avec Messieurs du consistoire sur ce que votre communion peut avoir à désirer. Je regrette seulement d'avoir à leur proposer un voyage aussi long que celui du jardin du Roi mais c'est le seul endroit ou je puisse les recevoir commodement." English translation: "My only motive for accepting the duties which have just been conferred on me is the hope that I can be of some use to protestants. I'll be happy to speak with the gentlemen of the Consistory on whatever subject your communion wants. I only regret that I have to propose such a long voyage as that of the Jardin du Roi . unknown
