At a speech before the New Orleans Academy of Sciences, held December 10, 1860, a paper was submitted by Dr. Samuel A. Cartwright consisting of remarks on a report of Roberts Barthelow concerning the hereditary descent of Mormons due to polygamy. The article includes N. B. Benedict's negative comments concerning the scientific ideas, extracts of Barthelow's report, notes by Prof. C. G. Forshey and remarks by Dr. Cartwright. Highly polemical.
