[PLUCHE (Abbé Noël-Antoine)]. *Le Spectacle de la nature, ou entretiens sur les particularités de l'histoire naturelle*. Paris: Veuve Estienne & Jean Desaint, later Veuve Estienne & Fils, 1732–1750. 8 sets in 9 in-12 volumes (Vol. VIII in 2 parts), in full contemporary calfskin, with a decorated ribbed spine. Some wear to the top caps. Since the publisher reprinted out-of-print volumes as needed, this perfectly uniform series has varying publication dates depending on the volume. The illustrations include 9 frontispieces and 194 plates, most of which are fold-outs. Topics range from animals and plants to the manufacture of bells and the architecture of a galley. A famous popular science work intended for young people, covering not only the natural sciences but also the exact sciences, technology, and even issues of sociology and ethics.
