Anatomical drawing of human head showing different compartments of the brain.The Histoire Naturelle, générale et particulière, avec la description du Cabinet du Roi (Natural History, General and Particular, with a Description of the King's Cabinet) is an encyclopedic collection of 36 large (quarto) volumes written between 1749-1804 by the Comte de Buffon, and continued in eight more volumes after his death by his colleagues. The books cover what was known of the natural sciences at the time, including what would now be called material science, physics, chemistry and technology as well as the natural history of animals. It is accompanied by some discourses and a theory of the earth by way of introduction, and by supplements including an elegantly written account of the epochs of nature.
