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. From this work these are the deer including old world and new world species for instance the moose. Several species have the young faon and female biche much different from the male and often they are included on separate sheets. The following are included: le chevreuil Faone femelle; femelle; mâle; cerf-cochon biche; mâle; biche de la presqu'ile de Malaca; cerf-noir du Bengale ou hippélaphe; le cerf de Wallach et le cerf du Bengale each on a separate plate; l'axis femelle; mâle La biche de la Louisiane et le cerf a dagues de l'Amerique Septemtrionale each on a separate plate; Le cerf de Virginie also: "dans son plumage d'hyver; and the faon du cerf de Virginie probably listed in the work as faon du cerf de Louisiàne"; Le cerf commun also: biche et son faon; Le daim et son petite; variété blanche; daim fauve; daim variété noire; Le renne femelle; l'elan de l'Amerique septentrionale ou l'original also poile de hiver; mazame; biche aux pieds techetés ou biche des Mariannes; chevrotain de Java ou kanchil male et femelle each on a separate plate; cerf du Canada biche.

Due to these large margins some edges a bit frayed or with minor tears. The plates are hardly spotted if at all a few are mildly toned; some text leaves are somewhat spotted but mainly in the margins. Generally this set is in a very good condition.

rif. 49275Paris Institut Impériale de France 1809 or 1810. 4to 25.0 x 20.0 cm. 33 pp. Not bound. In a 20th century blue hardcover paper drop-box 26.8 x 22.0 cm with printed label on the top board. = A unique proof printing with several corrections by Brongniart. See DSB: "In 1804 wanting to place the Montmartre bed of fossil formations in time Cuvier with Brongniart began research that led to Géographie minéralogique des environs de Paris 1808 1811 which was rewritten and greatly expanded as Description géologique des environs de Paris 1822 1835. In this work a landmark in the history of geology Cuvier played a lesser role. Brongniart did the necessary fieldwork drawing his inspiration from the works of Buffon Soulavie Ramond Palassu especially Lamarck; the latter had described the fossil invertebrates of the Paris region and in his Hydrogéologie 1802 had set forth the bases of the theory of "current causes" later developed by Constant Prévost. Cuvier respecting the short chronology of the Bible was forced to assume in addition to "current causes" which act very slowly rapid catastrophes and global upheavals which had no basis in fact". This proof was based upon the 1808 text published in the Annales du Muséum d'Histoire naturelle volume XI pp. 293-326. We have added a few pages in photocopy of the final text for comparison. A few small spots on the first and last leaves otherwise a very good clean copy. DSB 3 p. 526; Ward and Carozzi 564. hardcover
