In this book Farber presents a case study of the emergence of one of these disciplines-- ornithology--chosen because it was among the first and most important areas of natural history to emerge as a serious and well-organized subject.
Brisson's effort was soon eclipsed by a much larger work by Georges Louis Leclerc, compte de Buffon, whose "Histoire Naturelie...
The appearance of Brisson's and Buffon's works was fortunately timed as natural history became quite fashionable at that time, and the knowledge of the birds of the world grew very rapidly as a result.

 More Information on Dr. Saugrain
His sisters married well - one to Henri Didot of the Paris publishing house, the second to the artist Antoine Vernet, and the third to Joseph Ignace Guillotin, the inventor of a quick and "painless" device for executions - the guillotine.
Saugrain was educated in Paris as a physician and chemist by Antoine Fourcroy and Mathurin-Jacques Brisson.
He was very short in stature, and stood less than 5 feet tall.

 Darwin-L Message Log 8: 71-112 (April 1994)
The eldest son of a prominent family, Brisson will study philosophy and theology at the College de Fontenay and the College de Poitiers, and will enter the seminary of St.-Sulpice in Paris, but in 1747 he will abandon theology for his true calling, natural history.
After Reaumur's death, Brisson's collections will pass from the Academie des Sciences to the Cabinet du Roi under the direction of Buffon, and personal animosity between the two naturalists will lead Buffon to deny Brisson any access to the specimens he had been studying for the previous eight years.
Deprived of his collections, Brisson will turn from natural history to the study of physics, and will make valuable contributions to that field until his death in 1806.
