Item Details

Description

1775 Buffon Natural History SCIENCE Illustrated BIRDS of Paradise Mockingbirds

"Virtually all the well-known writers of the Enlightenment were Buffonians"

â€• Ernst Mayer

The monumental work by Comte de Buffon, â€œHistoire Naturelle,” was fascinating 18th-century collection of articles and encyclopedia entries on material sciences, physics, chemistry, technology, as well as the history of animals. Buffon wrote the volumes with the intent of addressing all-natural history, but after realizing the grandeur of the work, he focused on the individual orders of living things. The DSB mentions that

â€œBuffons order is formed by a philosophical bias rather than by science.”

This third volume from Birds contains 25 impressive illustrations including views of numerous species of crossbills and grosbeaks, sparrows, cardinals, choughs, rollers, birds of paradise, starlings, orioles, thrushes, mockingbirds, and many more!
