Descripción del artículo del vendedor

pp. (ii), iii, (i), 61 [lithographed sheets of signatures, rectos only, including copy of a letter by MARC ISAMBARD BRUNEL], (63)-125 (text), (i).

By the time of the third, Cambridge, meeting in 1833, the organisation was in place and the meetings had attracted much support within the scientific community, though not unmoderated by opposition. J. G. Lockhart, editor of the Quarterly Review, incidentally the journal in which Brewster first reviewed Babbage's book above mentioned, wrote to Murchison before the inaugural meeting - 'I presume you are going to the colt-show at York. Don't make a fool of yourself among these twaddlers.'. Even Dickens ridiculed the early meetings in a series of articles for Bentley's Miscellany during 1837-1839, later collected as the Mudfog Papers - in these he described the meetings of the Mudfog Association for the Advancement of Everything, attended by Professors Snore, Doze and Wheezy. See HOWARTH The British Association - A Retrospect, 1931, with a facsimile of one page of signatures, p.31. …
