mathematician who was considered one of the leading naturalists of
the Enlightenment. An acquaintance of Voltaire and other
intellectuals, he worked as Keeper at the Jardin du Roi from 1739,

and survey of natural history, the ground-breaking Histoire
Naturelle, which he published in forty-four volumes between 1749

translated into English in 1793, contain Buffon's survey and
