‎Avec cet ouvrage (EO 1812) Georges Cuvier (1769-1832) établit les principes de la paléontologie. Dès 1796, il entreprend d'étudier les vertébrés fossiles dont la signification était restée jusque-là incertaine en s'appuyant sur les principes des corrélations anatomiques qu'il a lui-même élaborés à partir de l'étude des espèces vivantes.( 1817, Le règne animal distribué selon son organisation). Il parvient alors à identifier et reconstituer de nombreuses formes animales qui n'ont plus de représentants dans la nature d'aujourd'hui, comme le mastodonte, le ptérodactyle ou le mosasaure. Cuvier démontre ainsi la réalité du phénomène d'extinction des espèces, auparavant très contesté. Il révèle l'existence au cours des temps géologiques d'une succession de faunes aujourd'hui disparues, dont il explique l'anéantissement par des catastrophes mondiales. Ses recherches montrent que la Terre et le monde vivant ont connu une longue histoire antérieure à l'apparition de l'homme, ce qui a un grand retentissement, bien au-delà des cercles scientifiques, dans la société de son temps. Georges Cuvier a été le premier à démontrer le concept d'extinction et l'ancienneté des couches géologiques en fonctions des fossiles qu'elles renferment. Malgré la qualité de ses observations, Cuvier restera toujours un fervant fixiste et ne cédera jamais face au théories évolutionnistes naissantes, mais, sans le vouloir, il leur fournira de solides arguments, exploités dès 1859 par Charles Darwin dans son fondateur De l'origine des espèces. Très bel exemplaire, sur beau papier vergé et grand de marge, de cette seconde édition , entièrement refondue et considérablement augmentée. Sans le portrait qui fut tiré à part. Brunet II, 456.‎

‎First edition of Dalton's first book. In chemistry Dalton was the founder of ""The Atomic Theory"" (A New System of Chemical Philosophy 1808-27) and with his ""Meteorological Observations"" and supplementary lectures he laid the foundation of modern meteorology, establishing the cause of air's homogeneity and formulating the law of partial pressures. In the attempt to give solid experimental bases for his studies, Dalton laid the foundation of future atomic theory, beginning an experimental inquiry into proportions of different gases in the atmosphere.

‎First appearance in German of two importent papers on the multiple proportions of gases, announcing the first example of the Law of multiple proportions. The first paper was read to the Manchester Society in 1802, but first published in 1805. It is Dalton's first chemical memoir, and it ""disclosed the insight obtained through study of the combinations of oxygen with nitrous gas, into the LAW OF MULTIPLE PROPORTIONS.""(D.N.B).""One thing Dalton did in order to provide support for his heavely attacked theory of mixed gases was to begin an experimental inquiry into the proportions of the various gases in the atmosphere. This inquiry accidentally raised the whole question of the solubility of gases in water. By 12. Novwember 1802 he had discovered enough to read to the Manchester Society his paper ""On the Proportion of Several Gases or Elastic Fluids..."" (the paper offered). When read, although not when published, it contained the staement that carbon dioxide ""is held in water, not by chemical affinity, but merely by the pressure of the gas...on the surface, forcing it into the pores of water."". The researches on solubility thus led to an extension of his mechanical ideas.""(DSB III, p. 541).Smyth No. 36 a. 37. (German version).‎
