Description

""Reflections On The Decline Of Science In England And On Some Of Its Causes"" is a book written by Charles Babbage, a renowned mathematician, philosopher, and inventor, in 1830. In this book, Babbage argues that the state of science in England was in decline and that this decline had several causes. He believed that the lack of government support for science and the insufficient funding of scientific research were significant factors. Babbage also criticized the education system, which he believed did not adequately prepare students for scientific pursuits. Babbage's book is divided into three parts. The first part discusses the current state of science in England and how it compares to other countries. The second part explores the causes of the decline of science in England, including the lack of funding, inadequate education, and the absence of a national scientific institution. The third part proposes solutions to address these issues, such as the establishment of a national scientific institution and the improvement of science education.Overall, ""Reflections On The Decline Of Science In England And On Some Of Its Causes"" is a thought-provoking book that sheds light on the challenges faced by science in England during the 19th century. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of science and the role of government in supporting scientific research and education.. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that some portion of the neglect of science in England, may be attributed to the system of education we pursue. A young man passes from our public schools to the universities, ignorant almost of the elements of every branch of useful knowledge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
