Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon (1707–88), was a leading French naturalist. These volumes, first published between 1770 and 1783 and translated into English in 1793, contain Buffon's description of various bird species and provide the first comprehensive account of eighteenth-century ornithology. Volume 2 covers wild and domestic fowl.
