On the Genesis of Species He loved human nature as Cuvier and Agassiz loved animal nature; in his view, as in their view, the subject formed a vast living picture. Memories and Studies Determination of Species.—The determination of species as regards the Cetacea is one of much difficulty; Cuvier met this difficulty by an appeal to anatomy. Journal of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society - Vol. 3 Zoology ‘These are the true crocodiles,’ says Monsieur Cuvier.

Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology It differs very much, as I explained long ago, in its arrangement from that of Whalebone Whales,—a fact of which I think Cuvier was not aware. Journal of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society - Vol. 3 Zoology Cuvier dying at seventy-five, Sir Joseph Banks at seventy-seven, Buffon at eighty-one, Blumenbach at eighty-eight, and Humboldt at fourscore and ten, are some of the cases which make such a supposition altogether reasonable. The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 16, No. 96, October 1865 The name of M. Cuvier was even mentioned as one of the new ministers. Recollections of Europe To him and to Latreille much of the value of the Règne Animal of Cuvier, as regards invertebrate classes, is due. Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work Cuvier's first objection was of course determined to some extent by the imperfection of the palæontological knowledge of his time. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology The first great step in the anatomy of the Cetacea is unquestionably due to Cuvier; but his dissections were almost confined to the genus Delphinus, or the common Porpoise of our coasts. Journal of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society - Vol. 3 Zoology Cuvier, from his comprehensive survey of the fossils of former periods, establishes the fact, "that the species now living are not mere varieties of the species which are lost." Fables of Infidelity and Facts of Faith Being an Examination of the Evidences of Infidelity This Gibbon was called "agilis" by Cuvier from its extreme rapidity in springing from branch to branch. Natural History of the Mammalia of India and Ceylon He was the leading entomologist of his time, and to him Cuvier was indebted for the arrangement of the insects in the Règne Animal. Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work Cuvier, however, can hardly have believed that all species were present at the beginning, since he does admit a progression of forms. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology Scarcely in any great natural family do we find Cuvier's favourite theory of anatomical and physiological co-relations so entirely at fault as in the Cetacea. Journal of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society - Vol. 3 Zoology Cuvier framed an argument for the fixity of species on the fact that the birds and beasts of the catacombs were identical in every respect with the animals of the same kind that live now. Fables of Infidelity and Facts of Faith Being an Examination of the Evidences of Infidelity There has been a certain amount of confusion between this animal and Inuus silenus, the lion monkey, which had the name Wanderu applied to it by Buffon, and it is so figured in Cuvier. Natural History of the Mammalia of India and Ceylon It is stated by Cuvier, in his eulogy, that at her first walk out of doors after the end came she was nearly overcome by the fresh air, to which she had become so unaccustomed. Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work In particular, he assimilated the teaching of Cuvier, the great opponent of the transcendentalists, and reconciled it 103in part with his own transcendentalism. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology This argument is upheld by the fact that circulation, varies not only as respiration, but as its products digestion, strength, and, according to Cuvier, animal vitality vary. Theory of Circulation by Respiration Synopsis of its Principles and History The earlier naturalists, such as Linnaeus, Cuvier or Agassiz, were ready with a reply which seemed so simple, adequate and final that the plodding modern naturalist cannot repress a feeling of envy. Biology A lecture delivered at Columbia University in the series on Science, Philosophy and Art November 20, 1907 Cuvier recognises only three types—the Caucasian, the Mongolian, and the Negro or Ethiopian, including Blumenbach's fourth and fifth classes, American and Malay in Mongolian. Natural History of the Mammalia of India and Ceylon The eulogy prepared by Cuvier, and published after his death, was read at a session of the Academy of Sciences, by Baron Silvestre, November 26, 1832. Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work As Cuvier pointed out in the posthumous edition of his Leçons, it is only the occipital segment that shows any real analogy with a vertebra—an analogy which Cuvier ascribed to similarity of function. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology Why should not one of the birds reconstructed by the immortal Cuvier flap his stupendous wings aloft in the dull strata of subterranean air? A Journey to the Centre of the Earth With Kant, Cuvier and Linnaeus believed this problem scientifically insoluble. Biology A lecture delivered at Columbia University in the series on Science, Philosophy and Art November 20, 1907 Cuvier also notices this last peculiarity, and with regard to its diet says it eats small birds as well as insects. Natural History of the Mammalia of India and Ceylon The eulogy by Cuvier, which gives most fully the details of the early life of Lamarck, and which has been the basis for all the subsequent biographical sketches, was unworthy of him. Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work If we turn to the later writings of Cuvier we find the essential criticism expressed in similar terms. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology What, then, is this cetaceous monster of which no Cuvier ever thought? A Journey to the Centre of the Earth For Agassiz or Cuvier the fit is that which was designed to fit. Biology A lecture delivered at Columbia University in the series on Science, Philosophy and Art November 20, 1907 Cuvier places them after the Bats, but they seem properly to link the Lemurs and the frugivorous Bats. Natural History of the Mammalia of India and Ceylon This is, we believe, the only stain on Cuvier’s life, and it was unworthy of the great man. Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work It is important to note that Cuvier puts function before structure, and infers from function what the organ will be. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology A thousand such naturalists as Cuvier would not have sufficed to recompose the skeletons of the organic beings which lay in this magnificent osseous collection. A Journey to the Centre of the Earth She was as fair as docile, And with that gentle, serious character, As rare in living beings as a fossile Man, 'midst thy mouldy mammoths, "grand Cuvier!" The Works of Lord Byron. Vol. 6 For comparison I give below a synopsis of Cuvier's arrangement. Natural History of the Mammalia of India and Ceylon In this éloge, so different in tone from the many others which are collected in the three volumes of Cuvier’s eulogies, he indiscriminately ridicules all of Lamarck’s theories. Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work Cuvier has no theory to account for the variety of form: he contents himself with a classification. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology Yes, gentlemen, I am well acquainted with all these matters, and know, also, that Cuvier and Blumenbach fully recognized in these bones the undeniable remains of mammoths of the Quaternary period. A Journey to the Centre of the Earth Cuvier adopted this division, and the best contemporary British authority, Dr. Latham, also makes three groups, although he varies somewhat in details from Cuvier. The First Landing on Wrangel Island With Some Remarks on the Northern Inhabitants According to Cuvier they possess, like the last family, a fifth tubercle on their last molars. Natural History of the Mammalia of India and Ceylon It even appears that Lamarck was in part instrumental in inducing Cuvier in 1795 to go to Paris from Normandy, and become connected with the Museum. Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work It must be borne in mind that German comparative anatomy was largely derivative from French, that the Paris Museum was the acknowledged anatomical centre, and that Cuvier was its acknowledged head. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology The rendering “booby” follows Cuvier’s note to the French translation. The Northmen, Columbus and Cabot, 985-1503 England possesses a naturalist of the first order, whom his fellow-countrymen take a pleasure in comparing to George Cuvier—Professor Owen. The Heavenly Father Lectures on Modern Atheism Cuvier divides the Mammals into nine orders, as follows. Natural History of the Mammalia of India and Ceylon “I made,” said Geoffroy, “the proposition to my confrères, but I was supported, and only feebly, by M. de Lamarck, who slightly knew M. Cuvier as the author of a memoir on entomology.” Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work Cuvier's view, on the contrary, is that the necessity of functional and ecological adaptation accounts for the repetition of the same types of structure. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology JACOBI.—A ring-plain S. of Cuvier, about 40 miles in diameter, with walls much broken on the N. and S., but rising on the E. to nearly 10,000 feet.

Natural History of the Mammalia of India and Ceylon He then realized, to quote from his biographer, Cuvier, what Voltaire said of Condorcet, that solid enduring discoveries can shed a lustre quite different from that of a commander of a company of infantry. Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work One must remember, in order to appreciate Cuvier's view, that he was not obsessed, as we are, by the idea of evolution. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology We cannot erect an order on purpose to contain him, as Cuvier tried to do; we cannot even make a separate family for him. The Destiny of Man Viewed in the Light of His Origin The cabinet of comparative anatomy is one of the finest parts of the garden, and we owe its excellence mainly to the great exertions of Cuvier. Paris: With Pen and Pencil Its People and Literature, Its Life and Business Paradoxurus is a misnomer, signifying queer-tailed, which originated in an abnormal twist in the tail of the specimen first described and named by M. F. Cuvier. Natural History of the Mammalia of India and Ceylon It must be admitted, therefore, that the statement generally made that Cuvier was the founder of this science should be somewhat modified, though he may be regarded as the chief founder of vertebrate palæontology. Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work Cuvier recognised very clearly that there is a succession of forms in time, and that on the whole the most primitive forms are the earliest to appear. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology When Huxley was young, the great reputation of Cuvier overshadowed English anatomy, and English anatomists did little more than seek in nature what Cuvier had taught them to find. Thomas Henry Huxley; A Sketch Of His Life And Work Upon the death of Lémontey, the French Academy, where Laplace and Cuvier already represented the sciences, called also Fourier into its bosom. Biographies of Distinguished Scientific Men Their teeth have flat crowns, and they live on aquatic vegetation, though, according to Cuvier, they sometimes leave the water for pasture on shore, but this has not been authenticated, and is probably a mistake. Natural History of the Mammalia of India and Ceylon In this field, however, Cuvier had his precursors not only in Germany and Holland, but also in France. Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work His arguments failed to carry conviction to his contemporaries, and Cuvier in particular subjected them to destructive, and indeed final, criticism. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology With slight modifications, due to individual taste or special knowledge of small groups, later writers had followed Linnæus and Cuvier. Thomas Henry Huxley; A Sketch Of His Life And Work I look upon Cuvier's book to be a most desolating one in the conclusions to which it may lead some minds. Life of Lord Byron, Vol. 5 With His Letters and Journals Ray applied the name of Mustela to the restricted weasels, and Martes to the martens, but Cuvier gives Mustela to the martens, and brings the weasels and pole-cats together under Putorius. Natural History of the Mammalia of India and Ceylon Cuvier, moreover, had at his disposition the collection of skeletons of the Museum, which was frequently increased by those of the animals which died in the menagerie. Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work Cuvier interpreted the functional dependence of the parts in terms of what we now call the general metabolism. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology He had been an ardent follower of Cuvier, and in England had carried on the palæontological work of the great Frenchman. Thomas Henry Huxley; A Sketch Of His Life And Work But the young, the simple,—all those whose hearts one would like to keep unwithered, trouble their heads but little about Cuvier. Life of Lord Byron, Vol. 5 With His Letters and Journals I shall not attempt to describe the various systems, but take the one which appears to me the simplest and best to fit in with Cuvier's general arrangement, which I have followed. Natural History of the Mammalia of India and Ceylon It is with much interest, then, that we turn to Cuvier’s great work, which brought him such immediate and widespread fame, in order to see how he treated his subject. Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work Cuvier, however, did not resolve life into metabolism, nor reduce vital happenings to the chemical level. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology Later on, Cuvier removed from it these wilder excrescences, and amplified the basis of observation upon which the underlying theory of the unity of type of the skull throughout the vertebrates was based. Thomas Henry Huxley; A Sketch Of His Life And Work But the meaning of these facts escaped Cuvier's mind. The Doctrine of Evolution Its Basis and Its Scope From the dry bones of an extinct mammoth or a plesiosaur, Cuvier reconstructed the entire animal and described its habits and its home.

Thomas Henry Huxley; A Sketch Of His Life And Work Cuvier was the first great naturalist to devote particular attention to the mainly unrelated and unverified facts that had been discovered before his time. The Doctrine of Evolution Its Basis and Its Scope The battle of organic evolution has been waged by the Darwins, the Huxleys, and the M�llers on the one hand, against the Cuviers, the Owens, and the Virchows on the other. Science in Arcady We have verified these criticisms of Cuvier by reference to his papers in the “Journal.” Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work He was not so convinced as Cuvier was of the all-importance of functional correlation; in this view he was probably confirmed by his work on teratology. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology There was now a new method for investigating such problems, the method of embryology, which, practically, had not been available to Oken, and of which neither Cuvier nor Owen had made proper use. Thomas Henry Huxley; A Sketch Of His Life And Work By this account, Cuvier endeavored to reconcile the doctrine of supernatural creation and intervention with the obvious facts that organisms have differed at various times in the earth's history. The Doctrine of Evolution Its Basis and Its Scope This species was originally indicated by Cuvier, from a single specimen brought from the Macquarie River by Messieurs Lesson and Garnot. Journals of Two Expeditions of Discovery in North-West and Western Australia, Volume 2 Undoubtedly Cuvier described the circulation, but it was Lamarck who actually realized the taxonomic importance of this feature and placed them in a distinct class. Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work Cuvier and Geoffroy are the greatest representatives of these opposing views. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology When Cuvier first saw the teeth of a Wealden Reptile, he pronounced them to be those of a Rhinoceros, so mammalian were they in their character. The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 12, No. 70, August, 1863 Although he saw that animals of successive periods displayed similar structures, like the skeleton of vertebrates, which testified to some connection, Cuvier could not bring himself to believe that this connection was a genealogical one. The Doctrine of Evolution Its Basis and Its Scope In the tiny, virtuous room in Rue Cuvier, Rosas thought that Marianne was in her true surroundings. His Excellency the Minister Such is the famous law of correlation of parts, of Cuvier. Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work Cuvier thus dismisses the question of a science of possible organic forms and considers only the forms or combinations actually existing. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology Cuvier, without any request or expectation, resigned to the neophyte who, after following in his footsteps, was outstripping him in certain lines, drawings and notes prepared for his own use. Lippincott's Magazine, December, 1885 "I hold that the performances of Cuvier alone are conclusive upon that point."

Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work Cuvier was the first naturalist to raise this thought to the level of a principle peculiar to natural history. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology Among the noted dead of 1832, including Goethe, Cuvier, Crabbe, and Mackintosh, he was the most distinguished; and all Scotland and all the civilized world mourned his loss. English Literature, Considered as an Interpreter of English History Designed as a Manual of Instruction Cuvier declares this work to be "the most magnificent monument that art has ever erected to ornithology."

The Whence and the Whither of Man A Brief History of His Origin and Development through Conformity to Environment; Being the Morse Lectures of 1895 He was the means of securing for Cuvier, then of his own age, a position in the museum as professor-adjunct of comparative anatomy. Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution His Life and Work Cuvier's famous principle of correlation, the corner-stone of his work, is simply the practical application to the facts of structure of the principle of functional adaptedness. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology It is not every Byron that finds a Goethe to take him to pieces and build him up again, and peruse him and admire him, as Cuvier did the Mammoth.
