Charles Babbage (1791–1871), one of the most original thinkers of the nineteenth century, published this defence of his ideas at the time of the Great Exhibition in 1851. He analyses critically factors that affect scientific and technical progress, arguing that government should recognise and support scientific advances with conviction.
