Des ouvrages de Pline un seul est arrive jusqu'a nous, son Histoire naturelle. Ce n'est pas, a proprement parler, ce que dans notre langage moderne nous entendrions par un titre semblable. L'auteur commence par exposer des notions sur le monde, la terre, le soleil, les planetes, et les proprietes remarquables des elements. De la il passe a la description geographique des parties de la terre connues des anciens. Apres la geographie vient ce que nous appellerions l'histoire naturelle, a savoir, l'histoire des animaux terrestres, des poissons, des insectes et des oiseaux. La partie botanique qui suit est tres considerable, d'autant plus que Pline introduit beaucoup de renseignements sur les arts, tels que la fabrication du vin et de l'huile, la culture des cereales, et differentes applications industrielles. La partie botanique terminee, il revient sur les animaux pour enumerer les remedes qu'ils fournissent; enfin il passe aux substances minerales, et la (ce qui est une des parties les plus interessantes de son livre) il fait a la fois l'histoire des procedes d'extraction de ces substances, et celle de la peinture et de la sculpture chez les anciens. On voit qu'a vrai dire l'ouvrage de Pline est une sorte d'encyclopedie. Emile Littre
