The author delves into the physiology, anatomy, behavior, ecology, and evolution of these fascinating creatures.

La storia naturale dei pesci occupa 4 dei 5 volumi composti da de Lacepéde. Buffon'sNatural History, General and Particular presented for the first time a complete survey of natural history in a popular form.He opens his great work with an essay called Théorie de la Terre, in which for the first time he outlines a satisfactory account of the history of our globe and of its development as a fitting home for living things.This rejection of a rigid system of classification, to which most biologists of his time adhered, and Buffon's belief in the mutability of species, implied clearly some preparation for the tought of Darwin.He was the first to present the universe as one complete whole and to find no phenomenon calling for any but a purely scientific explanation (P.M.M., n. 198). Ronsil, I, p. 412. Francese.

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.
