Lady Ada Augusta Lovelace, the only legitimate offspring of Lord Byron, was the confidante of Charles Babbage, the Cambridge professor who spent his life developing a mechanical computer known as the ...Analytical Machine.

Kerr includes the full text of Grey's eloquent little essay on "Old Books" (257-58), but Ulis rather obscures the point that in their time Grey's collections were a mix of old and new: medieval ...manuscripts and incunables, Greco-Roman classics, English literature, law, mathematics, science, and theology sat alongside collections of Australian Aboriginal, Maori, and African-language materials-the published works of explorers and missionaries as well as the manuscript fruits of Grey's own linguistic fieldwork.

In the early 19th century, Charles Babbage decided not to patent his dozen or so inventions, instead making them immediately available for others to copy and develop. Contemporary innovators would ...either regard Babbage as a fool or as a forward-thinking philosopher. He probably would have decided that it was impossible to stop the copying of software and, as some contemporary software houses do, have given it away with books that one had to purchase to enable one to use it effectively. Nor would Babbage have made software so user friendly.
