First edition of Cuvier’s first work on comparative zoology, being one of the foundational texts of modern zoology and comparative anatomy. ""Cuvier’s Tableau élémentaire – his first separate work – contains the first general statement of his natural classification of the animal kingdom"" (Norman). The book thus constitutes the first systematic expression of a theory that would dominate zoological thought in the early nineteenth century. For later theorists, it provided the essential morphological basis for tracing evolutionary continuity between extinct and living species. Based on the course of lectures delivered at the École du Panthéon, Cuvier’s ”Tableau élémentaire presents for the first time his natural classification of the animal kingdom, establishing the four great divisions of the animal world: Vertebrata, Mollusca, Articulata and Radiata – according to anatomical structure, rather than superficial resemblance. It was from these studies of structural affinity between living forms that Cuvier developed the principles of comparative anatomy, which in turn laid the groundwork for palaeontology as a scientific discipline. Milestone of Science No. 44 Wood p. 307.
