1803Best.-Nr. 71345Paris: De L'Imprimerie de Crapelet 1803. Nouvelle Édition. Leather Bound. Very Good. Twenty-fourmo 13.5 cm Contemporary 3/4 brown leather with speckled paper over boards. Pale red and green gilt stamped leather spine labels. Six gilt ruled compartments on the spines. Illustrated plates the majority with tissue-guards. This specific set has a frontispiece portrait of Buffon 781 illustrated plates and 5 folding tables the exact number of plates found in each volume is available upon request. Text in French. Extremities very lightly rubbed and soiled. A couple of boards with small red stains. Spines sporadically mottled. Occasional minor chipping to spine ends and a handful of spine labels with loss. Underlying boards peeking through at corners. Endpapers have a previous owner's red ink stamps a small faint ink stamp in black and minute contemporary numerical notations. Stitching visible in gutters here and there. Pp. 125-130 volume 12 are partially detached. Pp. 29-32 volume 44 and pp. 93-96 volume 77 are completely detached but present. Skillful repair to fore-edge margin of p. 169 volume 59. Pages bound out of sequence in volume 59 between p. 136 and p. 185. Periodic printing errors occur in the set's pagination. In a handful of plates the sky in the background appears stained and there is a bit of red staining to plate at p. 258 in volume 70. Two reptile illustrations in volume 42 are a trifle trimmed at the head. Additional Collation Notes: Curiously volumes 56-65 are the only volumes in which the plates are numbered. In volume 58 I believe plate 15 is mislabeled as 13 and it is found between plates 23 and 24. The books are very structurally sound and the pages are strikingly clean and bright.

An edition published posthumously of Buffon's most famous work. Buffon's Histoire Naturelle was continued in part by others after his death. It was translated into various languages and read throughout Europe. French naturalist George-Louis Leclerc de Buffon 1707-1788 Comte de Buffon is viewed as the most influential biologist of the 18th century epitomizing the revolutionary changes the Enlightenment brought to the study of nature. The title of Count was bestowed on him by Louis XV in recognition of his accomplishments rather than by birth. He is most famous for Histoire Naturelle a comprehensive work on natural history first begun in 1749. De Buffon began his studies at the College of Godrans in Dijon where he was only an average student. Originally his father wanted him to have a legal career however in 1728 he went to Angers where he studied medicine botany and mathematics. In 1739 he was appointed keeper of the Jardin du Roi the royal botanical garden now the Jardin des Plantes and of the accompanying museum. There he was tasked with creating a catalog of the royal collections in natural history which he transformed into an undertaking to produce a record of the whole of nature. This became his monumental work Histoire Naturelle Générale et Particulière which was the first modern effort to methodically present all existing knowledge in the subjects of natural history geology and anthropology in one publication. Buffon's ideas challenged traditional biological classification and introduced theories of evolutionary thought roughly one hundred years before Darwin. Comte de Buffon is also remembered for his argument that the world had a lengthy history rather than being only a few thousand years old as the naturalists of the 1600s believed. In addition he felt that scientific writing should be energetic and graceful in style thereby allowing his work to be accessible to a wide audience in Europe and beyond. Buffon's work articulated that species were different throughout the world that the planet was much older than the Bible suggested and that plant and animal species were related in intricate ways. Buffon's bold way of looking at the world laid the groundwork for later revolutionary thinkers who are responsible for much of what we know about the natural world. An attractive set of a pivotal work of the Enlightenment richly illustrated with numerous hand-colored plates. De L'Imprimerie de Crapelet unknown books
