Paris, l'Imprimerie Royale, 1776. 4to (24.1 x 18.5 cm). Title page with engraved vignette, engraved head and tail pieces. [iii], 582, xx pp., six engraved plates, many tables. 20th century brown cloth, spine with gilt title. = Supplement volume to the quarto edition of this large and important series on natural history by Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon (1707-1788). Not to be confused with the much smaller 12mo (sometimes listed as 8vo) edition. Well-illustrated by De Sève, one of the best natural history illustrators of the 18th century. This volume deals with Man, and addresses issues as Man's longevity and the probabilities (percentages) of reaching a certain age. Other topics are ovulary glands, body temperature, skin colour and albinism, siamese twins and other teratological issues. Some, mostly marginal toning and infrequent light spotting, weak old library stamp on several text pages and the title page, but generally clean. Nissen ZBI, 672; Casey Wood, p. 267.…

Paris, Garnier frères, 1853-1855. In 12 volumes. Very large 8vo (26.7 x 17.8 cm). Text with one engraved frontispiece, one hand-coloured frontispiece, one engraved portrait of Buffon, and 160 hand-coloured engraved plates and maps, for a total of 163 plates outside the text. Contemporary uniform dark blue half calf over pebbled boards; spines with four raised bands, compartments with gilt vignettes and titles. Iridescent endpapers. All edges gilt. = A fine, uniformly bound set of one of the many "Oeuvres Complètes" by this famous author, mostly dealing with birds (four volumes), mammals (three volumes) and minerals (three). With a preface by Marie-Jean-Pierre Flourens, dated 1855. The title pages are dated 1853-1854. Heim regards this edition as the eighth important edition after Buffon's death in 1788. The frontispiece plate to Volume II, "l'Homme et la Femme", is present. It is not listed in the plate index at the end of Vol. XII, and seems to be missing often. Nissen states an incorrect number of plates. Apart from some foxing in the text, mostly on tissue guards, an attractive set. R. Heim, 1952 "Buffon, Les grands naturalistes Français" p. 232; Hoover, 192; Nissen ZBI, 704.…

Paris, Imprimerie Royale, 1770-1785. 18 volumes in 18. Large 12mo (18.0 x 10.5 cm). Text with 264 engraved plates. Uniform contemporary half calf over speckled boards. Spines with five raised, gilt-ornamented bands; compartments with gilt floral patterns and two morocco labels in red or brown (short title) and black (part number). = This is the complete bird section (volumes 14-31), usually found separately, of Buffon's Histoire Naturelle, générale et particulière, published by the Imprimerie Royale from 1749 to 1804 in 44 volumes. Nissen only quotes 262 plates. The plates are after De Sève and depict the birds in their natural surroundings including nice architectural design. Some light shelfwear, one spine label with some loss; some slight foxing in the text, plates clean. The last two volumes, published four years after volume 16, in a slightly different binding (see pictures). A nice set in beautiful, contemporary, almost uniform, bindings.
