Aristotle's classical work on the history of animals was considered the most authoritative description of common animal life of centuries. Camus indicates errors based on 18th century knowledge but the translation shows Aristotle's remarkable familiarity with a wide range of genera. He includes detailed knowledge that could come from acute observation and dissection. Armand-Gaston Camus 1740-1804 the translator and editor was a lawyer and politician who was elected to the Etats generaux in 1789. On August 14th 1789 he was named archivist of the Assemblee constituante and founded the Archives nationales preserving documents concerning the French Revolution. He left politics to purse literary interest and became a member o L'Academie des inscriptions et belles lettres in 1785. The widow of printer Nicholas Desaint presided over the publishing firm from 1771-1808. Paris. Chez la Veuve Desaint, Librarire rue Du Foin S. Jacques. 1783 hardcover
