MS machines 10 the purposes of calculation.
He states that his first engine is capable OF
computing any table by the aid of differences,
whether they are positive or negative, or OF
both kinds and that with perfect confidence
he would venture to construct an engine that
should compute numbers depending on len or
twelve successive orders Of differences. Ii is
a remark able property OF the machine, that
the greater the number of differences, the
more it will outstrip The most rapid cslCuls-
tor. This machine, by the applications Of
certain parts, may be employed in extract
ing the roots OF equations. and the degree OF
approximation will depend on its magnitude.
Mr.. Babbage has sketches of two other ma
chimes, one by which the product'of any mum
er may be found and another by which all
prime numbers from D To TO millions may be
determined. He has also fourth machine,
whose plans are in more advanced state, by
which tables having no order Of differences
constant may be constructed. This last is
Immediately applicable TO the construction Of
Logaritbmic and Astronomical tables of every
kind and in order TO avoid the errors which
might be produced in copying and printing
the numbers m The common way, The ingenious
conirlver states, that he has contrived means

they calculate, and place them side by side /;

puter and the composition. In order to de-
monstrate the prscticsbility Of executing
these views, MIR. Babbage has actually con
slructed machine, which will produce any
tables where second differences are constant,
and has exhibited to some friends, who have
| witnessed IFS performance. In the computa
ton OF a series of members from the forrnuIa
~ e Al, they were al first produced rather
