Buffon (1707-1788) est surtout notoire pour son Histoire naturelle, générale et particulière, avec la description du Cabinet du Roy, rédigée sur près de 50 ans, à Montbard d'abord dans son cabinet et à la Tour Saint-Louis, puis en sa bibliothèque du Petit Fontenet en 36 volumes parus de 1749 à 1789, plus huit autres après sa mort, grâce à Lacépède. Il y a inclus tout le savoir de l’époque dans le domaine des « sciences naturelles », appellation large regroupant aussi des disciplines qui ressortent aujourd'hui de la science des matériaux, de la physique, de la chimie ou de la technologie. C’est dans cet ouvrage qu’il relève les ressemblances morphologiques entre l’homme et le singe, quoi qu'il pense ceux-ci dénués de pensée, ce qui les diffère profondément de l'Homme. L'édition Duménil que nous proposons ne contient pas les poissons et autres suppléments de Lacépède etc. Très bel exemplaire dans une très jolie reliure romantique décorative et solide de l'époque.

Six volumes small octavo pp 588; 600 15; 584 10 uncut a few pages unopened a little age-toning and marking one gathering 347-350 in Volume IV detached and gatherings towards the rear of the volume becoming a bit weak and loose Volume VI has extra bis pages 343 - 354; very well illustrated with 197 engraved or wood engraved plates of which 31 are folding and 50 coloured plates of which 2 are folding and 1 folding table; bound in the original pink boards a bit worn chipped and marked original printed paper labels on the spines the upper cover of Volume V detached otherwise firm and tight a neat signature on each front endpaper.

There are several extra plates to those listed and our copy would seem to agree with the set at auction at Christie's in 2006 which contained 246 of 248 plates. A work of considerable charm and interest and despite some faults as mentioned a remarkable set in original unsophisticated state. Simeon Ackroyd Shaw 1785 - 1859 was a 19th-century English scientific writer industrial historian and teacher. He spent his working life in the Staffordshire Potteries now the city of Stoke-on-Trent England. Shaw originated in Lancashire and as a young man he arrived in the Potteries to work on the Potteries Gazette and Newcastle-under-Lyme Advertiser newspaper. After some 20 years of newspaper and printing work living in Wolstanton he then went into teaching. He ran several teaching academies in the district. His first book was this 6-volume work which was based on his obviously very comprehensive series of popular short lectures on everything from natural species to meteorites. First Edition. Boards.

1857032907London: Willis and Sotheran 1857 A good set in contemporary rebacked cloth bindings with 322 colour plates of birds 102 colour plates of eggs and 8 black and white plates. The original cloth was probably a shade of green but it has sunned. It has been rebacked in a dark green relaying the original gilt-decorated spines which are mostly complete. The bindings are therefore sound and tight but there is a lot of wear to corners with varying degrees of bumping corner turning fraying and loss of cloth. Newer marbled endpapers have been added and each volume has an armorial bookplate of K I Beynon to the front pastedown with the motto 'Gwell Dysg Na Golud' the original motto of Llandovery College. Internally the volumes are complete and the plates are well-coloured. All the title pages have a small ink signature of Spencer Nicholl to the top.

Vol I: title; contents; preface; text pp 3-320 with 45 bird and 14 egg plates in colour and 6 black and white plates.

1815033188<p>Bungay: Printed and published by Brightly & Childs. Published also by T Kinnersley 1815 A good 2 volume set in new half calf and marbled board bindings with 148 of 152 hand-coloured plates. This work is extremely rare and as is usual with the Bungay publications the paper quality is poor tending to attract dirt and staining. The collation of this work is generally haphazard and the plates are not numbered. The bindings are in fine condition with leather title labels and gilt lines to spines. Contents: Vol I: title; introduction i - xxxv; text pp 1-586 with 67 of 71 plates. Vol II: title dated 1820; text pp 1-700 with 81 plates Finis. The paper in both volumes is toned to varying degrees with some areas of offsetting marking or staining. Some page corners have been turned over. There is the occasional side edge tear and there is professional paper repair to the title page of Vol I and initial pages where there has been some worming. There is slight worming in the margin of xiii-xvi. The plates in these volumes are cleaner with better and more detailed colouring than usual and the plate paper is in better condition than the text paper. The plate of the Spoonbill in Vol II has some black ink splots on it - as does the opposing text page no 333. Please enquire if you would like to see additional images to better assess condition.</p> Printed and published by Brightly & Childs. Published also by T Kinnersley hardcover
