French naturalist and zoologist (1769–1832). He originated the natural system of animal classification, and through his studies of animal and fish fossils he established the sciences of palaeontology and comparative anatomy. LS in French, signed “G. Cuvier,” one page, 8 x 12, Commission de l’Instruction publique letterhead, September 19, 1818. Letter reminding his correspondent that he has ignored for over two years repeated requests for a list of the University Students. Cuvier gives him a last chance to send the lists of the last two years, which would avoid “our displeasure to have to use against you measures that we dislike.” Second integral page bears an address panel in another hand. In very good condition, with intersecting folds, scattered toning, foxing, and soiling, a pencil notation to top, and a small seal remnant to left edge.
