Babbage, Charles Within a year of the publication of A comparative view of the various institutions for the assurance of lives, in 1826, a German translation appeared that Babbage noted with some pride in his List of Works, 1847 (see entry for Babbage, Works of Charles Babbage, M.A., F.R.S., &c. [A Collection of seventeen items by or about Babbage]). The German edition was published for the purpose of establishing, at Gotha, a Society for the Assurance of Lives, by the Life Assurance Bank of Gotha, in 1829. According to the above-mentioned List of Works: At the commencement of 1847, the number of persons whose lives had been assured, was 14,564, and the amount then assured was 23,218,700 Thlr. Illustrations available: Title page Babbage, Charles (1791–1871) A word to the Wise. Observations on peerage for life. See Babbage, Charles; Works of Charles Babbage, M.A., F.R.S., &c. [A Collection of seventeen items by or about Babbage]. B 65 Babbage, Charles (1791–1871) Works of Charles Babbage, M.A., F.R.S, &c. [A Collection of seventeen items by or about Babbage bound in one volume]. Year: 1815–1864 (but 1824–1872) Place: London Edition: 1st Language: English Figures: engraved portrait pasted on frontispiece Binding: contemporary three-quarter leather; marbled endpapers Size: 206x131 mm Reference: MCK CBCW, v. 1, pp. 34–47 This is much more a Babbage miscellany than the usual sammelband (the binding together of a set of related books or papers of similar size). It would seem that this volume was being readied for publication as it has a title page and a pasted-up frontispiece complete with a portrait of Babbage, as well as typeset half-title pages preceding many of the individual articles. While the List of Works contains none later than 1847, an auction notice of 1872 is included, as is Charles Babbage’s obituary notice of 1871. The volume was discovered with a cache of papers held by Babbage descendants in Ireland. Items 1 and 16 can only be described as ephemera while 3 and 4 are book reviews, and 2 is the well-known article by Brewster. Item 6 was written with Charles Holzappfel (1806–1847) Erwin Tomash Library B 64 Babbage, Charles a skilled mechanical engineer and technical writer, who was well acquainted with workshop practice.
