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.

" 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.
