The work is a comprehensive examination of natural history encompassing theories about the Earth, the history of man, and the study of various life forms, including animals and plants. It aims to provide a systematic understanding of nature through careful observation and interpretation of facts. At the start of this volume, the author outlines his intentions for exploring the internal structure of the Earth, emphasizing the importance of understanding nature's foundations before discussing its diverse manifestations. He critiques previous hypotheses related to Earth's formation and posits that a rigorous, fact-based approach is necessary. Buffon presents a narrative about the Earth's history, linking various geological formations and phenomena to processes involving water, sedimentation, and time, while also establishing a framework for discussing the relationships between different elements of natural history.
