Lejeune, Libraire-editeurs. Artists and Engravers: Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon (Sept.7, 1707 - April 16, 1788) was a French naturalist, mathematician, biologist, cosmologist and author. Buffon's views influenced the next two generations of naturalists, including Jean-Baptist Lamarck and Charles Darwin. Darwin himself, in his foreword to the 6th edition of the origin of Species, credited Aristotle with foreshadowing the concept of natural selection but also stated that "the first author who in modern times has treated it in a scientific spirit was Buffon". The Lycee Buffon in Paris is named after him. Buffon is best remembered for his great work Histoire naturelle, generale et particuliere (1749-1778: in 36 volumes, 8 additional volumes published after his death by Lacepede).
