Although the author states in a note dated February 1856 that this essay was read to the American Philosophical Society on July 3, 1840, it differs markedly from the paper abstracted in APS "Proceedings" 1(1840):248-251. Breck read a second paper on May 26, 1843, that was abstracted in APS "Proceedings" 3(1843):57-64. A revised version of the two papers, incorporating material in the manuscript, was printed in APS Historical and Literary Committee "Transactions" 3(1843):1-40.
