Georges-Louis Leclerc Comte de Buffon September 7 1707 – April 16 1788 was a French naturalist mathematician biologist cosmologist and author. Buffon's views influenced the next two generations of naturalists including Jean-Baptiste Lamarck and Charles Darwin. Darwin himself in his foreword to the 6th edition of the Origin of Species credited Aristotle with foreshadowing the concept of natural selection but also stated that "the first author who in modern times has treated it in a scientific spirit was Buffon". The Lycée Buffon in Paris is named after him. Full Cloth. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hardcover. De F. Bufart Hardcover‎
