11 - BUFFON. COMPLETE WORKS of Buffon, arranged by Count de Lacépède, enriched by this scholar with a general overview of the progress of the natural sciences. Paris, Eymery, Fruger & Co., 1828–29. 25/26 volumes, in-8, in fawn-colored grained sheepskin, with gilt scroll borders on the covers; smooth, compartmentalized spine adorned with gilt scrolls and fleurons; title and volume number labels in black morocco (contemporary binding). Foliate foxing on the text pages, sometimes pronounced, much more subtle on the plates; minor signs of wear on a few bindings. NEW EDITION in 25/26 volumes [VOLUME 4 MISSING], which reproduces Rapet’s edition published in 25 volumes in Paris in 1820–1822; it is expanded with a SUPPLEMENT titled "A Summary of the Most Important Recent Discoveries in Natural History," which constitutes the 26th and final volume. Volume I is dated “1829,” and volume 26, the last, is dated “1828,” as is often the case. A PORTRAIT of Buffon, engraved by Sixdeniers after Drouais, 237/245 ILLUSTRATIONS, most of them colored, and 2/3 fold-out MAPS enhanced with color. A BEAUTIFUL COPY preserved in a fresh, decorated binding from the period, unfortunately missing one volume. ¶ Brunet, I, 1378.
