Seven volumes complete in modern half black morocco green cloth over boards titled in gilt on spines and fronts; modern marbled endpapers; vol. I: vi194340pp; vol. II part I: ivIV2371229-232pp; vol. II part 2: iv239-648pp; vol. III: iv412pp; vol. IV: iv514pp; vol. V part 1: iv4051pp; vol. V part 2: iv 5471pp; 277 engraved plates including frontispiece one plate with hand color and 2 maps 1 letterpress folding table. Straight and sound with occasional scattered browning and soil a few page corners neatly restored one plate margin trimmed close to image area but largely clean and bright: Very Good. Third edition of the work in which Cuvier demonstrated the reality of extinction through detailed examination of fossils; a cornerstone work in paleontology biology and geology. Earlier editions appeared in 1812 and 1821-24. When Cuvier began his research in the late eighteenth century it was generally believed that no species had ever gone extinct. "Taking for his field the little-known fossil quadrupeds and applying to them the principles of comparative anatomy Cuvier astonished the world by reconstructing prehistoric forms of animal life whose existence had never been suspected" Glass Temkin & Straus Forerunners of Darwin 253. He established extinction as a fact demonstrated that the age of the earth was greater than six thousand years and did much to establish the fields of comparative anatomy and paleontology. However Cuvier forcefully opposed pre-Darwinian theories of evolution. In the introduction to Ossemens Fossiles later published separately as Discours sur les révolutions de la surface du globe 1826 Cuvier argued in favor of catastrophism-the theory that violent catastrophes like the Biblical flood had caused extinction events and shaped geological features. This theory left room for contemporaries to infer a divine force that caused catastrophes and created new species; thus his research "provided a safety valve . . . between the push of geology and the drag of theology" Forerunners 255. His theories were in part disproven by Darwin and Lyell who demonstrated that both species and geological formations undergo gradual change over time; but Cuvier's ideas about catastrophism were vindicated by more recent research into mass extinction events caused by volanic eruptions and asteroids.

1812rif. 154897Paris: Chez Deterville 1812. hardcover. very good. 4 volumes. Illustrated with 154 splendid copperplates many folding and and an additional folding hand-colored geognostical map of Paris and vicinity.

Paris: Chez Deterville 1812. First edition. Internally excellent copy with wide- margins and only faint scattered foxing. Through the method of reconstruction of what ancient mammals must have looked like on the basis of bone and other fossil remnants "Cuvier created the science of paleontology in the modern sense. At the same time he largely reformed the system of zoological classification by introducing fossil animals into it" Nordenskold. "His concept of geological revolutions which he believed to be a regular and natural part of earth's history was used to explain the mass extinction of species from previous opochs" Norman 566. "A landmark in the history of science" Horblit 20b. Chez Deterville unknown books
