‎Édition originale du premier ouvrage de Cuvier, alors âgé de 27 ans. Il lui apporta une renommée universelle et fut traduit en allemand, en espagnol, en danois, etc. « [M. Cuvier a rendu] d'immenses services à la partie systématique de l'histoire naturelle, en introduisant dans les classifications zoologiques la méthode de l’ensemble des rapports ; en distribuant, en un mot, le règne animal comme Bernard de Jussieu et son neveu, M. A. L. de Jussieu, avaient classé le règne végétal. Il publia, en 1798, sous le titre de Tableaux de l'histoire naturelle des animaux, le premier exemple de cette distribution, telle que son génie l'avait conçue » (Duvernoy, Notice historique sur les ouvrages et la vie de M. le baron Cuvier, 1833). Très bon exemplaire. Reliure frottée, petit manque angulaire page 543 ne touchant qu'une lettre. ‎

‎Tableau élémentaire de l'Histoire Naturelle des Animaux.‎

‎Paris, Baudouin, An 6 (1798). 8vo. Nice cont. full mottled calf. Richly gilt back. Light wear to lower part of back and a small hole in leather at lower hinge. Red leather titlelabel. XVI,710 pp. and 14 engraved plates with many figs. A large clean copy.‎


‎First edition of Cuvier's first work on comparative zoology, in which he showed the affinities in structure between present forms of animals, researches which resulted in comparison with older forms and thereby for other theorists suggested evolutionary lines and links. Cuvier is considered as the founder of modern palaeontology by this and his later published work ""Recherches sur les ossemens fossiles...""Cuvier's first separate work, ""Tableau..."" (1798), is based on a course of lectures he had delivered at l'Ecole du Pantheon. It was the first general statement of his natural classification of the animal kingdom...He establishd the four great classes (vertebrates, molluscs, articulates, and radiates) and classified the animals according to the anatomical structure."" (Milestone of Science No. 44). - Wood p. 307.‎

‎P., Baudouin, An 6 (1798), un volume in 8 relié en plein veau, dos orné de fers dorés, filets dorés sur les plats, toutes tranches dorées (reliure de l'époque), (une coiffe usée, un mors fendu mais solide, manque de papier d'origine dans la marge du feuillet 679 sans atteinte au texte), 16pp., 710pp., 14 PLANCHES‎


‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- "Cuvier's first separate work - The first general statement of his natural classification". (Norman) ---- "Cuvier's belief in the inherent regularity and orderliness of nature led him to formulate the taxonomical principle of subordination of characters as a basis for establishing and ranking natural classes of genera ; and to conclude that each part of an organism is perfectly and necessarily related to its other parts. Cuvier stressed the importance of description over theory, and his empirical, unspeculative approach had a powerful influence on nineteenth century biological thought".
