Lignac's letters written to an anonymous American with the help of Bouguer was an attempt to refute Buffon and Condillac. Lignac's identified Buffon's attempts to subject natural phenomena to observation and experiment divorced from the literal biblical interpretation and provided an early criticism of the new scientific thinking. "Lignac's criticism was essentially that Buffon "contradicts Genesis in everything" ruins religion and drives God out of natural history." See Roger Jacques "Buffon A Life in Natural History" p. 192. The relevance of this work today is in the changes and challenges facing the French Academy as France entered into the modern era. This is an oversized or heavy book that requires additional postage for international delivery outside the US. Hambourg [i.e. Hamburg] hardcover
