HB. 4 vols 12mo 178�110 mm publisher's orig. boards printed paper labels to spines spines worn with splitting and some loss to paper covers; the fourth volume is split. Internally clean and bright with illustrations well preserved. An unusal survival in the original publisher's binding. Wright's work represents a significant early nineteenth-century English adaptation of Buffon's celebrated natural history. Rather than simply reprinting the original text Wright sought to modernise and expand Buffon's work for a contemporary British readership incorporating material from leading naturalists of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries particularly Georges Cuvier and Bernard Germain de Lac�p�de. The volume also includes an anonymous introductory treatise on botany reflecting the growing importance of botanical science within natural history.Richly illustrated throughout the work contains more than 400 charming wood-engraved illustrations most of them executed by the noted artist William Harvey together with four vignette engravings by J. Thompson after Harvey's designs. These extensive illustrations greatly enhanced the accessibility and appeal of the text providing visual representations of the animals for a broad reading public.As a publication Wright's edition is both attractive and historically significant. It demonstrates the enduring influence of Buffon's eighteenth-century natural history while revealing how his ideas were being reassessed and supplemented in light of advances in zoology and comparative anatomy. The botanical section offers a concise overview of contemporary plant science discussing the structure and functions of roots stems leaves flowers fruits and seeds as well as plant nutrition germination and classification. Particularly noteworthy is its treatment of both the Linnaean system and the emerging Natural System of classification illustrating the transition in botanical thought during the early nineteenth century. As such the work stands as an important document of the period's efforts to reconcile classical natural history with the rapidly developing scientific knowledge of the modern age.

Summary Ce volume regroupe les contributions de vingt-deux chercheur.es universitaires collègues et ami.es de Claude Lafleur qui ont voulu lui rendre hommage à l'occasion de son départ à la retraite en tant que professeur titulaire à la Faculté de philosophie de l'Université Laval. La diversité des aires géographiques et la pluralité des strates générationnelles auxquelles appartiennent les chercheur.es qui ont contribué à ce livre témoignent éloquemment de l'envergure de la « sphère d'influence » des productions intellectuelles de Claude Lafleur. Les textes réunis relèvent des principaux champs de recherche que leur ami et mentor a patiemment labourés au cours de sa carrière académique : histoire des corpus et des manuscrits; transmission des textes philosophiques et de leurs notions fondamentales de l'Antiquité au Moyen Âge; éditions critiques de textes issus des Facultés des arts et de théologie de l'Université de Paris aux xiiie-xive siècles; enseignement de la philosophie au xiiie siècle à la lumière des textes didascaliques; histoire des pratiques discursives dans les Facultés des arts médiévales; étude de concepts clés de la pensée de Thomas d'Aquin; discussion médiévale sur les universaux; philosophie de l'histoire des médiévistes contemporains. Ce recueil d'études souhaite ainsi se faire le reflet de certains des intérêts heuristiques des orientations méthodologiques et des thématiques historico-philosophiques que Claude Lafleur a poursuivis explorées et étudiées dans ses propres écrits ayant toujours été convaincu « qu'il n'y a pas de statut plus excellent que de vaquer à la philosophie ».

1774ref. FB640 /6AFull leather binding black title plate. Gilt floral design on the spine. The Histoire Naturelle générale et particulière avec la description du Cabinet du Roi English: Natural History General and Particular with a Description of the King's Cabinet is an encyclopaedic collection of 36 large quarto volumes written between 1749–1804 initially by the Comte de Buffon and continued in eight more volumes after his death by his colleagues led by Bernard Germain de Lacépède. The books cover what was known of the "natural sciences" at the time including what would now be called material science physics chemistry and technology as well as the natural history of animals. Georges-Louis Leclerc Comte de Buffon 7 September 1707 – 16 April 1788 was a French naturalist mathematician cosmologist and encyclopédiste. His works influenced the next two generations of naturalists including two prominent French scientists 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. Ernst Mayr wrote that "Truly Buffon was the father of all thought in natural history in the second half of the 18th century". Credited with being one of the first naturalists to recognize ecological succession he was later forced by the theology committee at the University of Paris to recant his theories about geological history and animal evolution because they contradicted the Biblical narrative of Creation. Buffon held the position of intendant director at the Jardin du Roi now called the Jardin des Plantes. Buffon's Histoire naturelle générale et particulière 1749–1788: in 36 volumes; an additional volume based on his notes appeared in 1789 was originally intended to cover all three "kingdoms" of nature but the Histoire naturelle ended up being limited to the animal and mineral kingdoms and the animals covered were only the birds and quadrupeds. "Written in a brilliant style this work was read . by every educated person in Europe". Those who assisted him in the production of this great work included Louis-Jean-Marie Daubenton Philibert Guéneau de Montbeillard and Gabriel-Léopold Bexon along with numerous artists. Buffon's Histoire naturelle was translated into many different languages making him one of the most widely read authors of the day a rival to Montesquieu Rousseau and Voltaire. In the opening volumes of the Histoire naturelle Buffon questioned the usefulness of mathematics criticized Carl Linnaeus's taxonomical approach to natural history outlined a history of the Earth with little relation to the Biblical account and proposed a theory of reproduction that ran counter to the prevailing theory of pre-existence. The early volumes were condemned by the Faculty of Theology at the Sorbonne. Buffon published a retraction but he continued publishing the offending volumes without any change. In the course of his examination of the animal world Buffon noted that despite similar environments different regions have distinct plants and animals a concept later known as Buffon's Law. This is considered to be the first principle of biogeography. He made the suggestion that species may have both "improved" and "degenerated" after dispersing from a center of creation. In volume 14 he argued that all the world's quadrupeds had developed from an original set of just thirty-eight quadrupeds. On this basis he is sometimes considered a "transformist" and a precursor of Darwin. He also asserted that climate change may have facilitated the worldwide spread of species from their centres of origin. Still interpreting his ideas on the subject is not simple for he returned to topics many times in the course of his work. Buffon considered the similarities between humans and apes but ultimately rejected the possibility of a common descent. He debated with James Burnett Lord Monboddo on the relationship of the primates to man Monboddo insisting against Buffon on a close relationship. At one point Buffon propounded a theory that nature in the New World was inferior to that of Eurasia. He argued that the Americas were lacking in large and powerful creatures and that even the people were less virile than their European counterparts. He ascribed this inferiority to the marsh odours and dense forests of the American continent. These remarks so incensed Thomas Jefferson that he dispatched twenty soldiers to the New Hampshire woods to find a bull moose for Buffon as proof of the "stature and majesty of American quadrupeds". In Les époques de la nature 1778 Buffon discussed the origins of the solar system speculating that the planets had been created by a comet's collision with the sun. He also suggested that the Earth originated much earlier than 4004 BC the date determined by Archbishop James Ussher. Basing his figures on the cooling rate of iron tested at his Laboratory the Petit Fontenet at Montbard he calculated that the age of the earth was 75000 years. Once again his ideas were condemned by the Sorbonne and once again he issued a retraction to avoid further problems. De L'Imprimerie Royal. Paris. hardcover

Nissen and Heilbrun differ in the listing of number of plates and misname the descriptions of the plates. 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. hardcover

Pasteur "A developing science depended on The Natural History of Man a work that was found to possess the functional capacity of extending the boundaries of knowledge. 'Buffon enlarged all the questions he touched on furthermore he created new questions' Flourens 1850:155. As soon as the 'varieties' and therefore the variations in man became the central issue to be elucidated the analysis of the biological and sociological mechanisms responsible for creating racial differences became more diversified. A discipline was thus created one that would rapidly differentiate between its objects of inquiry and its techniques of inquiry. It can be seen then that without any kind of break the Buffonian ideology of man retrospectively discovered a scholarly solution in what Thomas Kuhn called a 'disciplinary matrix' a hard kernel of statements principles deductive links and exemplary cases that allowed work on proofs to proceed within a framework of cumulative knowledge. At the origin of this process of'crystallization' there was neither the stroke of intuitive genius of a solitary scientist nor a 'great idea' divorced from its social pre-text. Instead there is a complex process whose contextual and biographical foundations as well as future academic and nationalistic issues are revealed by epistemological analysis."
