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."

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. Inocencio I 83 and II 262 'ANTONIO DE ALMEIDA Commander of the Order of Christ Surgeon of the Royal Chamber Professor of Operations at the Royal Hospital of St. Joseph Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of London etc. - I don"t know for the moment what concerns his birthplace and date of birth but I only know that he was from the province of Beira son of Doctor José Diogo and his wife D. Ana de Almeida. He died in Campo Grande near Lisbon on July 30th 1822. Quadro Elementar da Historia dos Animais by Mr. Cuvier translated into Portuguese. London by H. 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.
