1776220281776 Buffon Natural SCIENCE Illustrated Germination Microbiology Microscope"Virtually all the well-known writers of the Enlightenment were 'Buffonians'" ― Ernst Mayer The monumental work by Comte de Buffon "Histoire Naturelle" was fascinating 18th-century collection of articles and encyclopedia entries on material sciences physics chemistry technology as well as the history of animals. Buffon wrote the volumes with the intent of addressing all-natural history but after realizing the grandeur of the work he focused on the individual orders of living things. The DSB mentions that"Buffon's order is formed by a philosophical bias rather than by science."This volume contains 8 impressive illustrations including views animal germination and reproductive cells. It also contains descriptions of early man and the development of humans.Item number: #22028Price: $499BUFFON Georges Louis LecrecOeuvres complètesParis : Imprimerie Royale 1776.Details: • Collation: Complete with all pages; o 6 603 1o 8 engravings• Provenance: Armorial Bookplate – H.

Supplement A'Histoire Naturelle. Tome I

1774FB640 /6AFull leather binding black title plate. Gilt floral design on the spine. The Histoire Naturelle générale et particulière avec la description du Cabinet du Roi English: Natural History General and Particular with a Description of the King's Cabinet is an encyclopaedic collection of 36 large quarto volumes written between 1749–1804 initially by the Comte de Buffon and continued in eight more volumes after his death by his colleagues led by Bernard Germain de Lacépède. The books cover what was known of the "natural sciences" at the time including what would now be called material science physics chemistry and technology as well as the natural history of animals. Georges-Louis Leclerc Comte de Buffon 7 September 1707 – 16 April 1788 was a French naturalist mathematician cosmologist and encyclopédiste. His works influenced the next two generations of naturalists including two prominent French scientists Jean-Baptiste Lamarck and Georges Cuvier. Buffon published thirty-six quarto volumes of his Histoire Naturelle during his lifetime with additional volumes based on his notes and further research being published in the two decades following his death. Ernst Mayr wrote that "Truly Buffon was the father of all thought in natural history in the second half of the 18th century". Credited with being one of the first naturalists to recognize ecological succession he was later forced by the theology committee at the University of Paris to recant his theories about geological history and animal evolution because they contradicted the Biblical narrative of Creation. Buffon held the position of intendant director at the Jardin du Roi now called the Jardin des Plantes. Buffon's Histoire naturelle générale et particulière 1749–1788: in 36 volumes; an additional volume based on his notes appeared in 1789 was originally intended to cover all three "kingdoms" of nature but the Histoire naturelle ended up being limited to the animal and mineral kingdoms and the animals covered were only the birds and quadrupeds. "Written in a brilliant style this work was read . by every educated person in Europe". Those who assisted him in the production of this great work included Louis-Jean-Marie Daubenton Philibert Guéneau de Montbeillard and Gabriel-Léopold Bexon along with numerous artists. Buffon's Histoire naturelle was translated into many different languages making him one of the most widely read authors of the day a rival to Montesquieu Rousseau and Voltaire. In the opening volumes of the Histoire naturelle Buffon questioned the usefulness of mathematics criticized Carl Linnaeus's taxonomical approach to natural history outlined a history of the Earth with little relation to the Biblical account and proposed a theory of reproduction that ran counter to the prevailing theory of pre-existence. The early volumes were condemned by the Faculty of Theology at the Sorbonne. Buffon published a retraction but he continued publishing the offending volumes without any change. In the course of his examination of the animal world Buffon noted that despite similar environments different regions have distinct plants and animals a concept later known as Buffon's Law. This is considered to be the first principle of biogeography. He made the suggestion that species may have both "improved" and "degenerated" after dispersing from a center of creation. In volume 14 he argued that all the world's quadrupeds had developed from an original set of just thirty-eight quadrupeds. On this basis he is sometimes considered a "transformist" and a precursor of Darwin. He also asserted that climate change may have facilitated the worldwide spread of species from their centres of origin. Still interpreting his ideas on the subject is not simple for he returned to topics many times in the course of his work. Buffon considered the similarities between humans and apes but ultimately rejected the possibility of a common descent. He debated with James Burnett Lord Monboddo on the relationship of the primates to man Monboddo insisting against Buffon on a close relationship. At one point Buffon propounded a theory that nature in the New World was inferior to that of Eurasia. He argued that the Americas were lacking in large and powerful creatures and that even the people were less virile than their European counterparts. He ascribed this inferiority to the marsh odours and dense forests of the American continent. These remarks so incensed Thomas Jefferson that he dispatched twenty soldiers to the New Hampshire woods to find a bull moose for Buffon as proof of the "stature and majesty of American quadrupeds". In Les époques de la nature 1778 Buffon discussed the origins of the solar system speculating that the planets had been created by a comet's collision with the sun. He also suggested that the Earth originated much earlier than 4004 BC the date determined by Archbishop James Ussher. Basing his figures on the cooling rate of iron tested at his Laboratory the Petit Fontenet at Montbard he calculated that the age of the earth was 75000 years. Once again his ideas were condemned by the Sorbonne and once again he issued a retraction to avoid further problems. De L'Imprimerie Royal. Paris. hardcover
