Excerpts
I decided to concentrate on work which is now being done in this country; it was more convenient to do so; far more work has
been done over here than most people realize, and several excellent books describe contemporary developments in America.
Very well written survey of early computing in Britain, with stellar contributors including Alan Turing and almost all the others present at the creation
Appendix 1, pages 341-408, contain the first modern reprint and the cleanest freely available legal copy I've found, reprinted directly from pages 666-731 of "Taylor's Scientific Memoirs", Vol. III, of Ada Lovelace's seminal work: Sketch of the Analytical Engine invented by Charles Babbage, Esq. By L. F.Menabrea, of Turin, Officer of the Military Engineers. [From the Bibliotheque Universelle de Geneve, No. 82. October, 1842]
