Nissen and Heilbrun differ in the listing of number of plates and misname the descriptions of the plates. <br/><br/><em>First edition of this extensive landmark work in natural science. After his death several other volumes were published making the total number of volumes 44. Together with Diderot's Encyclopaedia this work represents the peak of book printing of the French enlightenment. Buffon was the first to sum up an entire natural history based on science instead of theology; It constitutes one of the first attempts to provide a comprehensive account of the natural world aiming at describing the entire known natural world - including plants animals and minerals - in a single work. Buffon based his work on first-hand observations and scientific analysis rather than on second-hand accounts or mythological beliefs making it a seminal work in the development of modern science. "Buffon's "Natural History General and Particular" presented for the first time a complete survey of natural history in a popular form . he was the first to present the universe as one complete whole and to find no phenomenon calling for any but a purely scientific explanation. In 1739 he was appointed Director of the Jardin du Roi now Jardin des Plantes. It would appear that the 'Natural History germinated in the preparation of a catalogue of the royal collection. Buffon then enlarged its scope to Aristotelian or Plinian proportions and finally transformed it into a conspectus of nature of a breadth and depth previously unknown". … he was the first to present the universe as one complete whole and to find no phenomenon calling for any but a purely scientific explanation." PMM. Buffon's work had a significant impact upon the field of natural history and influenced many other scientists including Charles Darwin; In a part of the work "Des Epoqeus de la Nature" Supplement vol. V 1778 present here Buffon attacked several Christian doctrines on natural science. He saw man as a part of the animal world he objected to earth being only 6000 years old and he dismissed a rigid classification system thus paving the way for Darwin's thoughts a century later:"Georges Buffon set forth his general views on species classification in the first volume of his Histoire Naturelle. Buffon objected to the so-called "artificial" classifications of Andrea Cesalpino and Carolus Linnaeus stating that in nature the chain of life has small gradations from one type to another and that the discontinuous categories are all artificially constructed by mankind. Buffon suggested that all organic species may have descended form a small number of primordial types; this is an evolution predominantly from more perfect to less perfect forms." Parkinson Breakthroughs. "Buffon's work is of exceptional importance because of its diversity richness originality and influence. Buffon was among the first to create an autonomous science free of any theological influence. He emphasized the importance of natural history and the great length of geological time. He envisioned the nature of science and understood the roles of paleontology zoological geography and animal psychology. He realised both the necessity of transformism and its difficulties. Although his cosmogony was inadequate and his theory of animal reproduction was weak and although he did not understand the problem of classification he did establish the intellectual framework within which most naturalists up to Darwin worked." DSB From the library of Danish zoologist Jonas Collin 1840-1905 who issued a new edition of Kjærbølling's "The Birds of Scandinavia" in 1875-1877 See Anker 251 - a work most likely inspired by his knowledge from his i.e. the present copy of Buffon's "Histoire Naturelle".The 'Histoire Générale' was widely reprinted and translated. Sometimes only individual sections were produced other times the complete work appeared. PMM 198.Nissen 672.Brunet I 376.Dibner 193.Sparrow p. 23.Anker 6. </em> hardcover‎

He was one of the first to give empirical explanations to natural phenomena rather than refer to the biblical creation myth. "Buffon's order is formed by a philosophical bias rather than by science" DSB which no doubt worked in his favour with the general reader. His natural history written in an elegant style can be rightfully considered as belonging to world literature. The nice plates after Edouard de Traviès show the animals and birds in a natural context. - Text browned or foxed in parts plates generally clean. - Not in Nissen.

BUFFON Georges Louis Marie Leclerc Comte de 1707-1788; Wissenschaftler. Seit der Erhebung seiner Ländereien zur Grafschaft nannte sich der aus Montbard in Burgund stammende Georges-Louis Leclerc ""Graf von Buffon"" nach einem in seinen Besitzungen liegendem Dorf. Dem abgeschlossenen Juraexamen folgten medizinische botanische und mathematische Studien. 1733 wurde er Mitglied der ""Academie royale des sciences"" bei der er bis 1748 über zwanzig Arbeiten u. a. über Gravitation Pendelbewegungen Ballistik Raketen optische Phänomene und zoologische Fragen einreichte. 1739 wurde Buffon das Amt des Superintendenten der Königlichen Gärten überantwortet mit dem auch die Betreuung der naturhistorischen Sammlungen des Königs verbunden war. Der Plan einen Katalog dieser Sammlungen zu verfassen gab den Anstoß für Buffons Lebenswerk die ""Histoire naturelle"" 1749-1804. 36 der insgesamt 44 Bände konnte B. noch zu Lebzeiten abschließen. Von dem die moderne Biologie begründenden Systems des schwedischen Naturforschers Carl von Linne EA. 1735 hielt Buffon nichts. Er ordnete stattdessen die Tiere nach ihrer Bedeutung für den Menschen. So behandelte er in seinem Werk über die Vierfüßler zuerst die Haustiere. Vorliegend aus dem Nachdruck der ersten dt. Ausgabe der 4. Bd. von 7 Bänden der ""Allg. Naturgesch."". Die österr.
