R. A. Daly made mention of the possibility of an impact theory for the origin of the moon prior to his 1946 paper on the subject. In the revised edition of his book 'Igneous Rocks and the Depths of the Earth' (1933), Daly suggested that the lunar mass may have separated from the earth as the result of a collision between the earth and a planetoid. This, and not the 1946 paper, was the first publication of this theory for the origin of the moon.
