As Cambridge undergraduates dissatisfied with the state of British mathematics, Charles Babbage (1791–1871) and John Herschel (1792–1871) formed the Analytical Society in 1811 to promote new continental ideas. This 1813 publication contains one paper by Babbage and two by Herschel. Babbage's preface serves as the movement's manifesto.
