All volumes with numerous wood-engravings in the text. Corners and spine somewhat worn joints a little rubbed hinges of first volume open but nothing loose; pastedowns with shadow of bookplate removal but internally fresh clean and bright with only trivial defects.<br/> <br/> This set of an English adaptation of one of the most widely read works of the Enlightenment features a pleasing fore-edge painting full of charming detail. With his enormously influential "Histoire Naturelle" Buffon 1707-88 became the first person to present the natural world as one unified whole entirely explicable in scientific terms and in a popular form. Modern evolutionary biologist Ernst Mayr called Buffon "the father of all thought in natural history in the second half of the 18th century" and declared that the "Natural History" was read by "every educated person in Europe." Our editor John Wright has augmented Buffon's work with the works of other naturalists including Culver Lacepede and "a British botanist of acknowledged note" among others. The text is supplemented by numerous wood engravings with perhaps livelier and more attractive depictions than might be expected from a small format abridged edition like this one. The main attraction here the fore-edge painting has been done with not inconsiderable skill and charm. In it two vessels cruise the glassy waters of Rotterdam the city's iconic canal houses and the gothic church of St. Lawrence rising in the background. The scene mixes tranquility and commerce in a tableau rendered with a great deal of care and delicacy in its minute details. Thomas Tegg; J. Cumming, Dublin; and R. Griffin and Co., Glasgow unknown
