    > One notable flash of apprehension about the atmospheric consequences of employing steam power in factories can be found in the first chapter of #CharlesBabbage’s classic treatise On the #EconomyOfMachinery and Manufactures. Babbage is credited with being the father of the modern computer; his book is considered the first to introduce ‘the factory into the realm of economic analysis’

    I'm looking for a freely-available full text (PDF, ePub preferably) of Charles Babbage, On the Economy of Machinery and Manufactures (1846).

    There's a start of one at Wikisource, but it's only the contents, index, and other supplemental material.

    Neither LibGen nor Archive Org seem to have a copy of the text in English and out of copyright. (There's a copyrighted repriint at Archive.Org.)
