" One of the most important of all birds books from the collector's point of view " Stillwell 63. "In 1739 Buffon was appointed Director of the Jardin du Roi. 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. The Natural History was a great popular success" PMM. A lot of copies are missing the insects supplement of 35 plates and only contain 973 plates.
