Georges-Louis Leclerc Comte de Buffon was a noted scientist whose monumental works in natural sciences influenced the next two generations of naturalists including Jean-Baptiste Lamarck and Georges Cuvier. Mayr The Growth of Biological Thought. p 330 Buffon's work was based on the methods of observation and experimentation. He raised many of the fundamental problems of biology in a scientific context. One of Buffon's most important contributions was the popularization of the old earth theory in opposition to Archbishop Ussher's biblical earth time-line. Buffon was an important pre-cursor to Darwin. Cited as the father of biogeography Buffon's Law postulated that creatures "improved" and "degenerated" after dispersing from a center of creation. He based his theory on comparative anatomy studies. Buffon tried to explain the origin of living things by spontaneous generation of elementary particles and its development as a consequence of climate and diet. Buffon argued that all members of a family of species descended from the same ancestors a "unity of type".

Most of the coloured plates were executed by Jean-Gabriel Prêtre the animal painter successively attached to Empress Joséphine's menagerie and to the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle. Contemporary full glazed calf spines with raised bands decorated in blind with gilt-point mosaics gilt rolls at head and foot twin blond calf lettering-pieces; sides with a large central blind-stamped medallion within a matching blind-tooled border.

Paper generally fresh occasional scattered foxing; the majority of the plates remarkably fresh a few browned in vols. 3 4 5 and 10; tear to p. 63 in vol. 11. Armorial bookplate of the library of the Comte Chevreau d'Antraigues. Interrupted by Buffon's death in 1788 the vast undertaking of the Histoire naturelle found its natural continuation in Étienne de Lacépède. Called upon during the final years of Buffon's life to carry forward the unfinished sections he successively published the volumes devoted to oviparous quadrupeds and serpents followed by those on fishes and cetaceans before undertaking a new arrangement of the entire work. Begun under his supervision this edition continued after his death in October 1825 concluding with the publication of the supplementary volume in 1828. Its illustration owes much to Jean-Gabriel Prêtre one of the foremost animal painters of his generation. Trained in Geneva before joining Empress Joséphine's menagerie at Malmaison and later the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle he devoted much of his career to depicting newly described species with remarkable accuracy; several still bear his name today. The present copy comes from the library of the Comte Chevreau d'Antraigues as evidenced by its armorial bookplate a recognised provenance on the French antiquarian book market where a number of books from the same library have appeared over the years. One of the finest editions of Buffon's Histoire naturelle bringing together for the first time in a coherent and uniform set the work as finally arranged by Lacépède. A. Eymery hardcover
