Brunet formed an outstanding collection of natural history books, many of which were on large and/or fine paper and specially colored. There are 1746 items in this scarce catalogue including a large herbarium of some 3000 specimens, some prints and drawings, and 43 scientific instruments (including telescopes and electrical apparatus).
