چکیده

When the mathematician Charles Babbage (1791–1871) published Passages from the life of a philosopher in 1864, he included a chronological list of 80 numbered ‘Papers which he has from time to time printed . . .’. The authors propose two, as yet unattributed, important additions to the Babbage bibliography. These papers, ‘Observations on the present State of the Mathematical Sciences in Great Britain’ initialled ‘B’ and ‘A New Cypher proposed’ initialled ‘C.B.’, appeared, anonymously, in Annals of Philosophy in February 1816. The use of initials by Babbage is not unknown. In 1829 he used ‘C.B.’ in correspondence to Edinburgh Journal of Science, and wrote letters under the pseudonym ‘C’ in Journal of the Society of Arts (1854).
