Contemporary half sheep binding in brown. Smooth spine with fillet and roulette. Yellow edges. Permanent Secretary of the Academy of Sciences it was Cuvier's responsibility to compose these biographies of celebrated scientists who had been members. These were read during public sessions; the first volume brings together the speeches delivered from 1799 to 1810 the second from 1810 to 1819. The work also contains Cuvier's reception speech at the Academy as well as a preface on the future of sciences. F.G. Levrault unknown

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.

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.

réf. 51-5714Paris Déterville 1812. 4 volumes. 4to. 21 x 27cm Later qtr goatskin with matching brown marbled boards. With 152 engraved plates of 154. Fine condition.Contents: T. 1. Discours preÌliminaire et la geÌographie mineÌralogique des environs de Paris.t. 2. Pachydermes des couches meubles et des terrains d'alluvion.t. 3. Os fossiles des environs de Paris.t. 4. Ruminans les onguiculeÌs et les reptiles fossiles .Vol. 1 includes Discours préliminaire 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 Géographie Minéralogique 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.OCLC Number988198; Nissen ZBI 1011; BMNH Cat. I p. 409.Near the end of the eighteenth century scholars disputed whether fossils represented life forms that no longer existed or whether—as the Comte de Buffon at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris believed—the fossils found in Europe and America represented animals that had migrated to the tropics. Buffon argued that God would not have let his creations go extinct. In 1796 Cuvier presented a paper to the National Institute of Sciences and Arts in Paris in which he compared the anatomy of living and fossil elephants thus proving extinction to be a fact as the fossil elephants had not been seen by recent humans. In the following years Cuvier continued to document the extinction of animals such as the giant ground sloth the Irish elk and the American mastodon.Cuvier's research on extinct forms led him to investigate the causes of extinction. He proposed a catastrophist geological history of the earth. Édition originale de cet ouvrage important dans le domaine de la paléontologie. L'illustration se compose de 152 planches gravées sur 154 d'après les dessins de Cuvier et une très grande carte dépliante en couleurs "Carte géognostique des environs de Paris" Il s'agit d'un recueil d'articles que Cuvier fit paraître de 1795 à 1812 dans de nombreuses revues et en particulier dans les Annales du Muséum. Il s'ouvre sur un Discours préliminaire dans lequel l'auteur expose ses idées sur les cataclysmes qui ont bouleversé la terre en particulier le dernier qui coïncide avec le Déluge de la Bible.
