Samtida ljusbrunt hfrbd guldornerad rygg med röd titeletikett och marmorerade pärmpapper. Äldre namnteckning Axel M. Rönqvist. Svensk översättning av inledningen ”Discourse préliminaire” som kom ut 1812 till Cuviers stora ”Recherches sur les ossement fossiles des quadrupèdes” Paris 1821. Zoologen Georges Cuvier 1769-1832 räknas som paleontologins grundare och upptäckte att det funnits tidigare nu ej levande arter. Hans tankar begränsades dock av den dåtida uppattningen av jordens ålder och han antog att ett antal stora katastrofer måste ha inträffat. Jonas Magnus Stjernstolpe 1777–1831 var en mycket flitig svensk översättare. unknown
