Buffon's Natural History. Volume 05 (of 10)
comte de Buffon and James Smith Barr Georges Louis Leclerc
Halfway through the ten volumes, Buffon's grand survey of nature only gains momentum. This fifth installment continues his portraits of the living world, argued and described in the confident voice that made him famous. Eighteenth-century science and literature entwined. For the reader committed to the full arc of a landmark work, the midpoint rewards the journey.
