After a series of changes in the cabinet, and many crises, Menabrea resigned in December 1869 on the election of a new chamber in which he did not command a majority. He was made marquis of Valdora in 1875. His successor in the premiership, Giovanni Lanza, in order to remove him from his influential position as aide-de-camp to the king, sent him to London as ambassador, where he remained until in 1882 he replaced General Cialdini at the Paris Embassy. Ten years later he withdrew from public life, and died at Saint Capin on the 24th of May 1896. July 1692.

Extractions: Nato a Venezia nel 1841 e morto a Roma nel 1927, giurista, economista e uomo politico. Professore di diritto costituzionale a Padova (1866/95), scrisse importanti opere come "L’inchiesta industriale e i trattati di commercio". Esponente della Destra storica militò nel raggruppamento di Democrazia liberale, venendo eletto deputato dal 1871. Studioso di problemi finanziari, fu ripetutamente ministro del tesoro (1891/92; 1896/98; 1902/05; 1906) e ministro dell’agricoltura e dell’industria e commercio (1909/10). Presidente del Consiglio (marzo 1910/marzo 1911), nel 1917/18 ricoprì la carica di alto commissario per i profughi. Nel 1921 fu nominato senatore. Nato a S. Maria Capua Vetere e morto nel 1932 a Roma, anarchico. Formatosi alla scuola di Bakunin e Cafiero, nel 1872 aderì all’Internazionale Socialista, subendo per la sua attività vari processi e anche il carcere. Divenuto uno dei capi riconosciuti del movimento anarchico italiano, divulgò le sue idee con vari scritti e particolarmente con la rivista "La questione sociale", che pubblicò a Firenze dal 1883 al 1884. Costretto all’esilio, tornò in Italia in occasione dei moti di Lunigiana e di Sicilia (1894) e di quelli di Milano (1898). Condannato al confino, fuggì prima in Spagna, poi negli USA e in Inghilterra; tornato in Italia nel 1913, fondò il giornale "La Volontà".

Extractions: Sketch of the Analytical Engine invented by Charles Babbage, Esq. By L. F. M ENABREA, of Turin, Officer of the Military Engineers. Originally published in French in 1842 in the , No. 82 Translation orignally published in 1843 in the Scientific Memoirs Classics Editor's note: The following document has a rather complicated publication history. In August of 1840 Charles Babbage gave a series of lecturs on his Analytical Engine in Turin. Luigi Menabreathen an obscure military engineer, but later to become a general in Garibaldi's army and prime minister of Italypublished an account of Babbage's lectures in French in the in October of 1842. In early 1843 this article was translated into English by Augusta Ada Byron King, Countess of Lovelace, who then added extensive "Notes" written in close collaboration with Babbage. The translation and Notes were published in Richard Taylor's Scientific Memoirs in October 1843, and were preceded by a short account of Babbage's exploits written by Taylor himself (viz., the initial portion of the document in square brackets and signed "Editor"). Lovelace left the translation anonymous (as was customary at the time) but signed the Notes "A.A.L." so that readers would know that they were written by the same person as future works of hers to be identified in the same way. As it turned out, however, she would publish no other scholarly work. Since its original publication, the article and Notes have been republished several times, with various "corrections" and changes. The complete piece was republished by H.P. Babbage in 1889 as part of a collection entitled

http://65.107.211.206/science/babbage.html

Extractions: Charles Babbage was an astonishingly original and innovative thinker in Victorian Britain. Many innovations and important contributions are attributed to him including his idea for machines to perform mathematical calculations (his Calculating Engines) and the far more ambitious Analytical Engines which were flexible punch-card controlled general calculaters, he produced a Table of logarithms of the natural numbers from 1 to 108000 which was a standard reference from 1827 through the end of the century. Babbage pioneered many other technical innovations as well as developing mathematical code breaking. Babbage's Analytical Engine designs are particularly impressive today as they contained many similar elements to modern digital computers. For example, Babbage's engines 'punched card control; separate store and mill; a set of internal registers (the table axes); fast multiplier/divider; a range of peripherals; even array processing' (Hyman). The Science Museum assembled Babbage's Calculating Engine number 2 according to his original designs in 1991. To witness the whirl and thudding stamp of this machine is a thrilling experience.

Teo The Transformation of Psychology (pp. 133-152). Washington D.C. American Psychological Association Press. Abstract Charles Babbage (1791-1871) began work on a mechanical computer that he dubbed the Analytical Engine in the mid-1830s. The machine was to constitute a dramatic improvement on his earlier Difference Engine, which he had originally conceived primarily as a way of automating the process of computing and printing accurate mathematical tables. Almost from the beginning, however, people around Babbage described his inventions in ways that suggest they believed the machines to be endowed with, or at least to closely model, authentic mental powers. Even today, one regularly sees the Analytical Engine cited as an early attempt at computational cognitive science. Babbage himself, however, seems to have steadfastly refrained from making public claims regarding the putative mentality of his machines.

LANZAROTE, an island in the Atlantic Ocean, forming part of the Spanish archipelago of the Canary Islands (q.v.). Pop. (1q00) 27,546; area, 326 sq. m. Lanzarote, the most easterly of the Canaries, has a length of 31 m. and a breadth varying from 5 to to m. It is naked and mountainous, bearing everywhere marks of its volcanic origin. Montana Blanca, the highest point (2000 ft.), is cultivated to the summit. In 1730 the appearance of half the island was altered by a volcanic outburst. A violent earthquake preceded the catastrophe, by which nine villages were destroyed. In 2825 another volcanic eruption took place accompanied by earthquakes, and two hills were thrown up. The port of Naos on the south-east of the island affords safe anchorage. It is protected by two forts. A short distance inland is the town of Arrecife (pop. 3082). The climate is hot and dry. There is only a single spring of fresh water on the island, and that in a position difficult of access. From the total failure of water the inhabitants were once compelled to abandon the island. Dromedaries are used as beasts of burden. Teguise (pop. 3786), on the north-west coast, is the residence of the local authorities. A strait about 6 m. in width separates Lanzarote from Fuerteventura. Graciosa, a small uninhabited island, is divided from the north-eastern extremity of Lanzarote by a channel I m. in width, which affords a capacious and safe harbour for large ships; but basaltic cliffs, 1500 ft. high, prevent intercourse with the inhabited part of Lanzarote. A few persons reside on the little island Allegranza, a mass of lava and cinders ejected at various times from a now extinct volcano, the crater of which has still a well-defined edge.
