"Serres was trained in Paris and received his medical degree in 1810. From 1808 to 1822 he worked at the Hôtel-Dieu. In 1820 he was awarded the prize for physiological research by the Académie des Sciences and the following year gained a special prize for his two-volume work on the comparative anatomy of the brains of vertebrate animals. In 1822, he was appointed chief medical officer at the Hôpital de la Pitié. He was elected to the Académie de médecine in 1822 and to the Académie des Sciences in 1828. In 1839, he preceded Flourens as professor of comparative anatomy at the Jardin des Plantes and two years later became president of the Académie des sciences. Serres studied the comparative anatomy of a number of vertebrate organs. He noted that many organs start from a number of isolated centers, which eventually unite to form a single adult organ. In his general approach to the nature of life and the harmony between the organs he was clearly influenced by Cuvier, who mentioned Serres's work with admiration. Serres's theoretical position was more closely akin to that of Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire. Serres believed that there was only one underlying animal type and that in the course of their development, the organs of the higher animals repeated the form of the quivalent organs in lower organisms" (DSB XII pp. 315/316).

Paris, Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle, [1845]. 4to (31.6 x 24.5 cm). 68 pp., nine lithographed plates. Disbound. = A seldom seen paper on ontogeny, in particular on embryonic development, by the French naturalist Antoine Étienne Rénaud Auguste Serres (1787-1868), but published anonymously. 'In 1810 Serres received his medical doctorate in Paris, and afterwards worked at the Hôtel-Dieu de Paris and the Hôpital de la Pitié. In 1841 he was chosen president of the French Academy of Sciences. From 1850 to 1868 he was chair of comparative anatomy at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle. . With German anatomist, Johann Friedrich Meckel (1781-1833), the supposed "Meckel-Serres Law" is obtained. This was a theory that attempted to provide a link between comparative embryology and a "pattern of unification" in the organic world. It was based on a belief that within the entire animal kingdom there was a single unified body-type, and that during development, the organs of higher animals matched the forms of comparable organs in lower animals. This theory applied to both vertebrates and invertebrates, and also stated that higher animals go through embryological stages analogous to the adult stages of lower life-forms in the course of their development, a version of the recapitulation theory later ossified in the statement "Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny of Ernst Haeckel'." (Wikipedia). Disbound from the Muséum's Archives, volume IV. Some scattered, mostly marginal foxing, but generally clean. Text and plate sections separated. Otherwise a very good copy.
