Jean Léopold Nicolas Frédéric Cuvier (1769 - 1832), known as Baron Georges Cuvier, was a French naturalist widely admired for his research and publications on zoology and paleontology. Cuvier was a major figure in natural sciences research in the early 19th century and was instrumental in establishing the fields of comparative anatomy and paleontology through his work in comparing living animals with fossils. He was perpetual secretary of the National Institute and as a public official was connected with public education generally. In 1808 he was placed by Napoleon upon the Council of the Imperial University.

The Athenaeum of Philadelphia holds books by Cuvier on the subjects of zoology, geology, and paleontology in its Rare Book Collection.]]> ]]> http://www.philaathenaeum.org/rights.html.]]> ]]> ]]> http://www.philaathenaeum.org/rights.html.]]> ]]> ]]> http://www.philaathenaeum.org/rights.html.]]> ]]> ]]> http://www.philaathenaeum.org/rights.html.]]> ]]> ]]> http://www.philaathenaeum.org/rights.html.]]> ]]> ]]> http://www.philaathenaeum.org/rights.html.]]> ]]> ]]> http://www.philaathenaeum.org/rights.html.]]> ]]> ]]> http://www.philaathenaeum.org/rights.html.]]> ]]> ]]> http://www.philaathenaeum.org/rights.html.]]> ]]> ]]> http://www.philaathenaeum.org/rights.html.]]> ]]> ]]> http://www.philaathenaeum.org/rights.html.]]> ]]> ]]> http://www.philaathenaeum.org/rights.html.]]> ]]> ]]> )]]> http://www.philaathenaeum.org/rights.html.]]> ]]> ]]> http://www.philaathenaeum.org/rights.html.]]> ]]> ]]> http://www.philaathenaeum.org/rights.html.]]> ]]> ]]> http://www.philaathenaeum.org/rights.html.]]> ]]> ]]> http://www.philaathenaeum.org/rights.html.]]> ]]> ]]>
