Ce volume, amplement annoté et commenté, est le deuxième d une série de cinq tomes regroupant les cours professés par Georges Cuvier de 1829 à 1832. Cette étude de grande envergure couvre de manière chronologique -l histoire des sciences naturelles sur une période qui s étend du début du xvie à la fin du xviie siècle. Le lecteur a ainsi accès à l atelier historique de Georges Cuvier. Loin d être une activité lui paraissant annexe au regard de ses travaux d anatomiste, Cuvier y consacra un temps important, consultant de très nombreux ouvrages en de multiples langues (anglais, allemand, espagnol, latin, français). Elle lui conférait aussi une grande notoriété. Prononcées au Collège de France, ces leçons s adressaient à un public large et consacraient son magistère sur les sciences naturelles de l époque. Cuvier y présentait l histoire des sciences comme une marche continue dont il scandait le développement. Il considérait les siècles ici étudiés comme une période de profonds changements. Louant la lutte contre les dogmatismes religieux, il en faisait le vecteur d une nouvelle liberté de pensée et d écrire. Reléguant l étude des anciens, les sciences naturelles seraient ainsi entrées dans un nouvel âge, celui de l observation et de la classification."" ************************** /////. Here, for the first time in English, is Georges Cuvier s extraordinary History of the Natural Sciences from Its Origin to the Present Day. Based on a series of public lectures presented by Cuvier from 1829 to 1832, this second of a five-volume series, translated from the original French and heavily annotated with commentary, is a detailed chronological survey of the natural sciences spanning two hundred years, from the early sixteenth century to the close of the seventeenth century. It is truly astonishing in its detail and scope. Cuvier was fluent in many languages, English, German, Spanish, and certainly Latin, in addition to French. He was therefore well prepared to investigate and interpret firsthand the scientific literature of Europe as a whole. The work is an affirmation of Cuvier s vast encyclopedic knowledge, his complete command of the scientific and historical literature, and his incomparable memory. This history is remarkable also for providing in one place a large set of useful references to a vast ancient literature that is not easily found anywhere else. This huge body of information provides us furthermore with unique insight into Cuvier s concept of the natural sciences, and to the vast breadth and progress of this human endeavor. With this work, Cuvier fills an important gap in philosophical thought between the time of Carl Linnaeus and Charles Darwin. "" ***********************.…

Mary Amelia Swift (1812 - 1875) was an American teacher and textbook writer. Little is known of her early life, though she was raised in western and central Connecticut. In 1833, she became the principal of the Litchfield Female Academy, leading the school for three years. That year, noting a need to teach basic science and finding no adequate textbooks, she wrote First Lessons on Natural Philosophy-Part First. It was one of the first scientific texts written by a woman and was based on her observations of teaching needs from her classroom experience. Three years later she wrote a more advanced textbook for older children, First Lessons on Natural Philosophy-Part Second. This is an early edition (NOT FIRST; first edition published in 1833).

Here, for the first time in English, is Georges Cuvier's extraordinary "History of the Natural Sciences from Its Origin to the Present Day." Based on a series of public lectures presented by Cuvier from 1829 to 1832, this third of a five-volume series, translated from the original French and heavily annotated with commentary, is a detailed chronological survey of the natural sciences spanning roughly fifty years, from the close of the seventeenth century to approximately 1750. It is truly astonishing in its detail and scope. Cuvier was fluent in many languages, English, German, Spanish, and certainly Latin, in addition to French. He was therefore well prepared to investigate and interpret firsthand the scientific literature of Europe as a whole. The work is an affirmation of Cuvier's vast encyclopedic knowledge, his complete command of the scientific and historical literature, and his incomparable memory. This history is remarkable also for providing in one place a large set of useful references to a vast ancient literature that is not easily found anywhere else. This huge body of information provides us furthermore with unique insight into Cuvier's concept of the natural sciences, and to the vast breadth and progress of this human endeavor.
