Buffon's work presents ''for the first time a complete survey of natural history in popular form'' PMM. The first volume contains Buffon's theoretical essays including his essay on the earth where "for the first time he outlines a satisfactory account of the history of our globe and of its development as a fitting home for living things. In his view the earth had been originally part of the sun which was broken off by the impact of a comet. It gradually condensed from its gaseous state and the forces shaping its continents and mountains are still active'' PMM. This view of the universe not in a steady state but evolving was a revolutionary idea at the time paving the way for Darwin in the following century. In his treatise on humans volume II.1 Buffon ''studied the human species by the same methods that he applied to animal species including the psychological moral and intellectual life of man. From his exhaustive research for the Histoire naturelle des quadrupèdes Buffon came to the conclusion that it was necessary to reintroduce the notion of family. Breaking with the spirit of his time Buffon attempted to separate science from metaphysical and religious ideas. As a disciple of Locke he denied idealistic metaphysics stating that mental abstractions can never become principles of either existence or real knowledge; these can come only as the results of sensation'' DSB. Volumes II-VIII deal with quadrupeds. The German edition was begun in 1750 but discontinued after the three volumes on ornithology in 1782 not included here while the original French which had started in 1749 continued till 1804 and comprised eventually 44 volumes.The first 8 volumes of the German Buffon with an owner's inscription on title-page of the first volume dated 1750.

The last 2 leaves in vol. 1 give a list of the plates for both volumes.Georges Louis Leclerc 1707-1788 -- in 1717 his father became Comte de Buffon and Louis XV later made Georges Comte de Buffon -- was an inconspicuous student who only showed a special talent for mathematics. Initially he combined a career in finance with one in science translating important works by Hales and Newton into French. In 1739 Buffon became director of the Jardin du Roi later the Jardin des Plantes and the Histoire naturelle may have originated as a description of the royal collection. It appeared from 1749 to 1804 and eventually comprised 44 volumes. Buffon was assisted among others by the anatomist Louis Daubenton and the final volumes were completed after his death under the direction of Comte de Lacépède.From the Stedelijk Gymnasium Bibliotheek with its stamp on title-pages and a few flyleaves.

Georges-Louis Leclerc Comte de Buffon September 7 1707 -- April 16 1788 was a French naturalist mathematician biologist cosmologist and author. Buffon's views influenced the next two generations of naturalists including Jean-Baptiste Lamarck and Charles Darwin. Darwin himself in his foreword to the 6th edition of the Origin of Species credited Aristotle with foreshadowing the concept of natural selection and stated that "the first author who in modern times has treated it in a scientific spirit was Buffon". Buffon is best remembered for his great work Histoire naturelle générale et particulière 1749-1788: in 36 volumes 8 additional volumes published after his death by Lacépède. It included everything known about the natural world up until that date. In it Buffon considered the similarities between humans and apes and the possibility of a common ancestry. Buffon debated James Burnett Lord Monboddo on the question of ancestry of the primates to man Monboddo insisting on the closeness of relationship of man and apes. Buffon's work is considered to have greatly influenced modern ecology. His Histoire was translated into many different languages making him the most widely read scientific author of the day.
