Publication
The publication dates of some parts of this work are uncertain. Stewart (1927) wrote: "The introduction to volume 2 is dated February, 1869 (p. xiv) and contains this note (p. xiv) 'Section 1, Part 1, was issued in February, 1866; the remainder of this volume was laid before the Philadelphia Academy, in a printed form, in December, 1868.' Since 'printed form' may refer to the printer's proof, it seems better to consider the date of these parts as early in 1869. The Academy acknowledged receipt of Sect. 1, Pt. 1, in 1868 (P. A. N. S. Phila., p. 413) but did not acknowledge receipt of any of the other parts. It acknowledged receipt of vol. 2 complete, in 1869 (p. 260). This volume was reviewed in the Amer. Jour. Sci. (2), vol. 48, July 1869, pp. 133-135."
