Lignac's letters written to an anonymous American with the help of Bouguer was an attempt to refute Buffon and Condillac. Lignac's identified Buffon's attempts to subject natural phenomena to observation and experiment divorced from the literal biblical interpretation and provided an early criticism of the new scientific thinking. "Lignac's criticism was essentially that Buffon "contradicts Genesis in everything" ruins religion and drives God out of natural history." See Roger Jacques "Buffon A Life in Natural History" p. 192. The relevance of this work today is in the changes and challenges facing the French Academy as France entered into the modern era.

His works influenced the next two generations of naturalists including Jean-Baptiste Lamarck and Georges Cuvier. Buffon published thirty-six quarto volumes of his Histoire naturelle during his lifetime; with additional volumes based on his notes and further research being published in the two decades following his death. It has been said that "Truly Buffon was the father of all thought in natural history in the second half of the 18th century." His anthology on Natural history has been reprinted and translated numerous times this being an earlier edition in original French.
