Traité sur l'Economie des Machines et des Manufactures, by Ch. Babbage...traduit de l'Anglais sur la troisième édition par Éd. Biot.
Bruxelles, H.Dumont libraire-éditeur, rue du persil, 1834, in-8°, 17 x 10,7 cm, (4) nn pp + vii pp + 468 pp, sewn, with the original rose coloured printed wrapper. Uncut copy, with some very slight foxing at some page, cover and margins very slightly dustsoiled, last 6 pp with some dogearing. Excellent copy of this French translation of Babbage's '' On the economy of machinery and manufactures ''. This work appeared in 1832 and was allmost immediately translated into French by the famous French mathematicien Edouard Biot. Our copy is a pirated edition of this first French edition which was published by Bachelier in Paris in the previous year ( 1833). This pirated edition is proof of the immense success of Babbage's work. The system of pirated Brussels editions was in vogue until 1845 when an agreement between France (Paris) and Belgium (Brussels) settled the piracy. .

Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society (of London) twenty fourth volume 24 1868
London, Longmans, 1868. First Edition. Hardcover. ex-university library binding. Charles Babbage "Many years have passed since I visited the remarkable scenery of the parallel roads of Glen Roy. Several explanations of their origin have been given; and my own view of the subject was, I apprehended, in accordance with the views of geologists. The recent paper of Sir John Lubbock upon that subject shows that the causes which have hitherto been assigned for their origin have not yet received general assent. Under these circumstances, I think it desirable to record the very simple explanation of their origin which had satisfied my own mind." Good.
