ref. 118321Paris 1835. 2 tomes en 1 volume. 500 pages. 2 feuillets. 15x10cm. Demi-cuir. Couverture légèrement frottée. Dos à nerfs orné avec titre et tomaison en lettres dorées. Coins et coiffes un peu émoussés. Ces volumes publiés à Paris en 1835 représentent une extension significative de l'uvre originale de Buffon figure emblématique des Lumières françaises grâce à l'apport de Georges Cuvier éminent naturaliste de son époque. Alors que Buffon avait posé les bases de la zoologie moderne Cuvier enrichit cet héritage en intégrant des découvertes postérieures sur la faune encore inconnue du premier. Cette collaboration posthume illustre l'évolution des sciences naturelles au début du XIXe siècle marquant un pont entre le siècle des Lumières et les avancées scientifiques du XIXe siècle reflétant ainsi la continuité et l'expansion du savoir à travers les générations. À l'exception de quelques petites taches éparses bien conservé. Tomes XV et XVI seuls. Paris, 1835. unknown

Deuxième édition sous son titre définitif augmentée des Réflexions sur la déclamation et l'Éloge d'Athanase Auger avec d'autres pièces de Hérault de Séchelles.

Dans cet récit piquant l'orateur à la mode dresse un portrait domestique et familier du vieil académicien d'une plume irrévérencieuse mais aussi chaleureuse où perce au-delà d'un persiflage affectueux une sincère admiration. Rousseurs traces de plis et quelques petits accrocs. Le feuillet 69/72 est dérelié mais bien complet de la correction manuscrite à la ligne 25. A Paris, chez Solvet, an IX. unknown

THE COMPLETE RUN OF VOLUMES PUBLISHED AT THE IMPRIMERIE ROYALE FOR WHICH BUFFON WAS EDITOR. This set which comprises 24 volumes of the Histoire Naturelle 6 volumes of the Supplément and 4 volumes of the Mineraux represents the complete run of volumes published at the Imprimerie Royale and for which Buffon acted as editor. Two additional volumes sometimes present are lacking here. They are the fifth and final volume of the Mineraux otherwise known as the Traité de l'aimant published at the Impremerie des Batiments du Roi rather than the Impremerie Royale in 1788 and the seventh and final volume of the Supplément published in 1789 after Buffon's death. After Buffon's death work was carried on by Bernard Germain de Lacépède who published 8 further volumes on egg-laying quadrupeds snakes fishes and cetaceans between 1788 and 1804. The last set to pass through our hands included these 10 additional volumes bound slightly differently - due to the publishing span - to the 34 original volumes such as those offered here. Buffon "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 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" DSB. The "most celebrated treatise on animals ever produced" Dinber also represents the birth of evolutionary theory. "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 from a small number of primordial types; this is an evolution predominantly from more perfect to less perfect forms" Parkinson.

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.
