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.
