What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Very Scarce

Three chapters reprinted from Babbage's 'The Economy of Machinery and Manufactures'. This was published as a supplement to the first two editions of 'The Economy of Machinery and Manufactures'.

An interesting study on the changing world during the Industrial Revolution, and it's effects on human labour and the economy of currency.

Babbage was an English mathematician, best known today for his work with Ada Lovelace on the Difference and Analytical Engines.
