Couverture rigide. Condition: Très bon. 8 volumes grand in-8, 285 x 195 mm; 1,7 kg/vol. La nouvelle édition « du Buffon » a été lancée par souscription, en 150 livraisons de 16 pages de texte et une gravure coloriée, paraissant tous les jeudis à partir du 19 janvier 1837. Les souscripteurs pouvaient, au choix, acheter également l'un des 8 volumes qui « in fine » ont constitué la collection complète. L'opération a été un succès et les éditeurs ont immédiatement récidivé avec l'Histoire Naturelle de Lacépède, dans le même format. Notre collection s'étend de 1837 à 1840 et constitue le premier tirage de cette édition. (Brunet, I, 2, 488). Buffon T1, 782 pp : Matières générales - Théorie de la terre. 1 frontispice de l'auteur. T2, 775 pp : Matières générales - Théorie de la terre - Minéraux. 1 carte. T3, 726 pp : Mammifères 1, 13 illustrations. T4 : Mammifères 2, 784 pp : 29 illustrations dont l'éléphant, la girafe et les singes. T5, 653 pp : Oiseaux 1. 43 illustrations dont le paon, le faisan, l'argus, le geai, l'oiseau de paradis. T6, 732 pp : Oiseaux 2. 30 illustrations dont l'Aras, les martins pêcheurs et les cygnes. Lacépède T1, 668 pp : Cétacés, Quadrupèdes ovipares, Serpents, Poissons. 23 illustrations dont la Pêche de la baleine, Le Cachalot macrocéphale, le Physale, le Dauphin, le Boa, le Requin, la Pêche au requin. Lacépède T2, 647 pp, 12 illustrations. Donc 152 illustrations au total, collationnées par nous. Notre collection, brochée à l'origine, a été professionnellement reliée en demi-maroquin bordeaux à dos lisse orné. Nous avons conservé les couvertures malgré leurs salissures car elles ont bravé près de 200 années de tumultes guerriers, sociaux et politiques pour arriver jusqu'à nous portant les stigmates de notre société. Les corps d'ouvrage ont également leur part de rousseurs et mouillures, mais restent très agréables et lisibles, et les gravures coloriées sont une surprise merveilleuse au tournant des pages, particulièrement celles des oiseaux. Le papier fort des gravures est assez bruni, surtout dans les tomes des Buffon, probablement en raison des plaques d'acier insuffisamment nettoyées qui transmettaient de l'oxyde de fer sur le papier, mais le trait et les couleurs des dessins sont parfaitement conservés. Peu d'exemplaires sont parvenus jusqu'à nous complets car au fil du temps, des libraires peu scrupuleux (il y en a eu) les dépeçaient pour vendre séparément les dessins encadrés. « Historien, orateur, peintre et poète, il a pris tous les tons et mérité toutes les palmes de l'éloquence. Ses vues sont hardies, ses plans sont bien construits, ses tableaux sont magnifiques. Il instruit souvent, il intéresse toujours ; quelquefois il enchante, il ravit ; il force l'admiration, lors même que la raison lui résiste. » , ainsi le définissait l'un de ses contemporains. Le bibliophile qui recevra ces ouvrages aura à c ur d'en lire au moins quelques extraits et constatera sans peine que le génie de Buffon avait plus d'un rapport avec celui qui animait les philosophes de la Grèce, dont l'imagination était si vive et hardie dans les choses de la Nature. Se doit figurer dans les rayons des bibliophiles cultivés aimant les beaux textes, l'Histoire Naturelle et le 18ème siècle.…

First edition. The Founding Treatise of Secular Science. First edition of the first work to present natural history as a continuous secular narrative, from planetary formation to the human races, and the work in which, across fifty-five years and four political regimes, the biblical chronology that had organised European natural science since antiquity ceased to be the only frame within which educated readers could discuss the age of the earth. Ernst Mayr called Buffon "the father of all thought in natural history" at his time; the DSB records that he "established the intellectual framework within which most naturalists up to Darwin worked." Buffon was appointed Intendant du Jardin du Roi in 1739 at thirty-two, and spent nearly half a century converting the royal cabinet of natural-history specimens into a compendium. At its close under Lacépède's hand in 1804 it comprised forty-four quarto volumes, more than twelve hundred engraved plates, and a style so supple that Buffon's elegies on individual species remained set texts in French lycées into the twentieth century. Uniformly bound in contemporary French mottled calf and preserving all forty-four text volumes together with the separately-issued and frequently-absent atlas to the Minéraux, the present copy is of a completeness and coherence uncommon in a publication whose fifty-five-year issue spanned four successive Parisian imprints. Within thirty years of the final volume Lyell was writing the Principles of Geology; within sixty, Darwin the Origin. The publishing history ran for fifty-five years through four imprints. The first three volumes appeared together in the autumn of 1749 from the Imprimerie Royale, sold out in six weeks, were reprinted three times within the same interval, and provoked the Sorbonne's faculty of theology into delivering Buffon a list of propositions judged heretical-to which Buffon submitted a carefully calibrated retraction while continuing to print the offending volumes unchanged. The initial prospectus of 1748 had promised fifteen volumes in three divisions; by the time Buffon died in 1788 thirty-five were in print, a thirty-sixth was on the press, and the plan of covering the vegetable kingdom had quietly been abandoned. The seventh and final Supplément appeared posthumously in 1789 through Lacépède's editorship; the fifth volume of the Minéraux, containing the Traité de l'aimant, had issued a year earlier from the Imprimerie des Bâtimens du Roi and was accompanied by a separately-issued atlas of folding maps and tables. Lacépède then continued the animal-kingdom programme with the Quadrupèdes ovipares et Serpens (1788-89), the Poissons (1798-An XII) and the Cétacées (1804). The combined output of four imprints across three generations of Parisian printers-the Imprimerie Royale, the Imprimerie des Bâtimens du Roi, the Hôtel de Thou under Panckoucke and Plassan, and Plassan imprimeur-libraire-is the reason a uniformly-bound contemporary set is uncommon. Volume I opens the series with the Premier Discours: De la manière d'étudier et de traiter l'histoire naturelle, a forty-page polemic against Linnaean classification that argues, from a position of mathematical and empirical rigour rare in the literature of the period, that species as Linnaeus conceived them were artificial abstractions imposed on the continuous variability of individuals, and that a taxonomy built on stamen-counts and pistil-counts did not correspond to nature. The attack was political as well as philosophical. Linnaeus's Systema Naturae (Leiden, 1735) had already been adopted as the common grammar of European zoology; Buffon's Discours, delivered from within the most prestigious press in France, asserted that the Swede's method was a convenience of memory mistaken for a description of the world. The volume continues with the Second Discours: Histoire et théorie de la Terre, dated by Buffon himself "à Montbard le 3 octobre 1744," which proposes a cosmogony in which the planets were struck fro.…

2 volumes. The reptile and amphibian section of Buffon's monumental work on the general and particular natural history. Many species (frogs, snakes, lizards, salamanders, turtles, etc.) are depicted in their natural habitat. The work is here in the new edition published at Amsterdam and Dordrecht, the only quarto edition to rival the original French Imprimerie Royale edition. The last 2 leaves in vol. 1 give a list of the plates for both volumes.Georges Louis Leclerc (1707-1788) -- in 1717 his father became Comte de Buffon and Louis XV later made Georges Comte de Buffon -- was an inconspicuous student who only showed a special talent for mathematics. Initially he combined a career in finance with one in science, translating important works by Hales and Newton into French. In 1739 Buffon became director of the Jardin du Roi, later the Jardin des Plantes, and the Histoire naturelle may have originated as a description of the royal collection. It appeared from 1749 to 1804 and eventually comprised 44 volumes. Buffon was assisted among others by the anatomist Louis Daubenton, and the final volumes were completed after his death under the direction of Comte de Lacépède.From the Stedelijk Gymnasium Bibliotheek, with its stamp on title-pages and a few flyleaves.
