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.

Buffon argued that all members of a family of species descended from the same ancestors a "unity of type". <br><br> This is an oversized or heavy book that requires additional postage for international delivery outside of Canada and the US.

Commentaire sur l'Esprit des Lois de Montesquieu 1806 is a critique of Montesquieu's pessimistic appraisal of democracy in De l'Esprit des Lois. While minister to France in the 1780s Jefferson saw this work in manuscript. It so impressed him that he arranged for its publication in France and translated it anonymously for publication in America. Looking back at this work in a letter from 1811 Jefferson commended it for correcting De l'Esprit des Lois. While other studies "nibbled only at its errors" he told his correspondent this work rebutted them "with a depth of thought precision of idea of language and of logic which will force conviction into every mind.
