Tiré de la notice bibliographique de la Bibliothèque nationale de France: "Cette Histoire naturelle des oiseaux in-douze est une reprise de l'édition in-quarto mais les planches, qui reprennent les dessins de Jacques de Sève, n'ont pas toujours retrouver leur graveur d'origine. Plusieurs problèmes se posent pour l'identification des graveurs : beaucoup d'illustrations ne comportent plus aucune signature, certaines ont été grattées. De plus, aucune déduction n'est possible à partir des pl. in-4 comme le prouvent certaines signatures. En ce qui concerne les frères Guttenberg, il est parfois impossible de les dissocier lorsqu'ils ne mentionnent pas leurs initiales : ils n'ont, à eux deux , composé que six illustrations pour cette édition de dix-huit volumes."

Dans l'Encyclopédie de Diderot et d'Alembert, l'anthropologie n'est nommée que comme une des parties de l'Anatomie : c'est proprement l'étude du corps humain. Le premier livre qui se propose de fonder une "science générale de l'homme" est l'Histoire naturelle de Buffon (1749). S'interrogeant sur l'individu et l'espèce, sur les caractères spécifiques de l'humanité, sur ses origines et son devenir, sur les rapports nature et culture, Buffon oriente toute la pensée des Lumières vers une nouvelle science de l'homme

Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon (1707-1788) was a French mathematician who was considered one of the leading naturalists of the Enlightenment. An acquaintance of Voltaire and other intellectuals, he worked as Keeper at the Jardin du Roi from 1739, and this inspired him to research and publish a vast encyclopaedia and survey of natural history, the ground-breaking Histoire Naturelle, which he published in forty-four volumes between 1749 and 1804. These volumes, first published between 1770 and 1783 and translated into English in 1793, contain Buffon's survey and descriptions of birds from the Histoire Naturelle. Based on recorded observations of birds both in France and in other countries, these volumes provide detailed descriptions of various bird species, their habitats and behaviours and were the first publications to present a comprehensive account of eighteenth-century ornithology. Volume 1 covers birds of prey and flightless birds
