"Reflections on the Decline of Science in England, and on Some of Its Causes" is a book written by Charles Babbage, a prominent English mathematician, philosopher, and inventor. The book addresses Babbage's concerns about the state of scientific research and development in England during that time. Babbage examines the factors he believed were contributing to the decline of scientific progress in his country. He criticizes the lack of support and funding for scientific endeavors, the absence of scientific societies and institutions, and the limited opportunities for scientific education and advancement. Babbage argues that the decline in scientific pursuits has adverse consequences for society as a whole. He asserts that scientific progress is essential for national prosperity, technological advancement, and intellectual growth. Babbage emphasizes the importance of nurturing a scientific culture and providing adequate resources and infrastructure to support scientific research. Furthermore, Babbage reflects on the broader implications of the decline of science in England. He explores the impact on various fields, including industry, agriculture, and the overall well-being of the nation. Babbage expresses his concerns about England's position in the global scientific community and the potential consequences of falling behind other nations in scientific achievements.

The Ninth Bridgewater Treatise: A Fragment is a book written by Charles Babbage and published in 1838. The book is part of a series of treatises commissioned by the Earl of Bridgewater to explore the relationship between science and religion. In this particular treatise, Babbage explores the concept of design in the natural world and how it relates to the existence of God. He argues that the complexity and precision of natural phenomena, such as the movements of the planets and the structure of living organisms, suggest the existence of a divine creator. However, Babbage also acknowledges the limitations of human understanding and the possibility of scientific discoveries that may challenge traditional religious beliefs. He emphasizes the importance of open-minded inquiry and the pursuit of knowledge in both scientific and religious pursuits. Overall, The Ninth Bridgewater Treatise: A Fragment offers a thoughtful and nuanced perspective on the relationship between science and religion, and the role of human inquiry in understanding the mysteries of the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

It cannot have escaped the attention of those, whose acquirements enable them to judge, and who have had opportunities of examining the state of science in other countries, that in England, particularly with respect to the more difficult and abstract sciences, we are much below other nations, not merely of equal rank, but below several even of inferior power.

Charles Babbage was a Victorian polymath, and someone with a seemingly never-ending intellectual curiosity about the world around him. A mathematician by training, he also wrote copiously on subjects such as economics, physics, engineering, computation, cryptography, religion and education, along with conducting practical experiments with pretty much anything that had grabbed his interest at the time. Today, he¿s widely viewed to be the father of the computer with his Difference and Analytical Engines. Although neither were fully completed during his lifetime, a working replica of the Difference Engine was built in the 1990s, and an Analytical Engine is currently in the planning stages.This autobiography (first published near the end of his life in 1864) veers from topic to topic and rarely settles on any subject for more than a chapter. Apart from his early life and an explanation of the thinking behind his computing Engines, Babbage also transcribes his memories of climbing into an active volcano, arguing with street musicians, picking locks, standing in elections, and imagining life as a cheese mite, among other diverse subjects. The original meaning of the titular word ¿Philosopher¿ is ¿lover of wisdom,¿ and this book shows Babbage to be just that.
