Second edition, partly original, published by A. L. Millin. The first edition appeared in 1785 without the author’s acknowledgment. His visit to Buffon took place in 1785. For the first time in the history of literary genres, he adopted the lively style of a report in which questions and answers follow one another at a brisk pace. The other essays, most of which were previously unpublished, were compiled by Millin after his death.
