Couverture rigide. Etat : 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.

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.
