Fossin Bean and M Larrey Discuss Bear Fossil Report

M Larrey recently presented to the French Academy the fossil heart of a bear called the great cave bear by Cuvier. Found in the grottos of Mialet in Gard, it appears unmatched in preservation and led Larrey to purchase it for examination by St Hilaire to prepare a report. The Stockport Advertiser notes Lancashire papers cut price but demand extra for delivery, while many prospectuses have appeared and a tax-related issue is mentioned. The text also discusses Mozart, music culture, and social contrasts, highlighting a belief that the populace will elevate musical taste beyond the operatic elite.
