"Kita dapat menegaskan tentang Tuan Buffon, apa yang telah dikatakan tentang ahli kimia zaman dulu; meskipun ia mungkin gagal dalam mencapai tujuan utamanya, membangun teori, namun ia telah menyatukan begitu banyak fakta relatif terhadap sejarah bumi, dan sifat dari produksi fosilnya, yang rasa ingin tahu menemukan banyak kompensasi, bahkan ketika Rasanya keinginan keyakinan."

Versi Bahasa Inggris
