Description
Both scientist and a writer, the Count de Buffon (1707-88) was an esteemed figure of the European Enlightment. This is William Smellie's translation of Buffon's Histoire Naturelle. The third edition (1791) made available here, is considered to be the best edition of the translator's lifetime.Tags
