Note 49 — Appendix.
Reading edition
By the words “no plan,” the reviewer here evidently refers to the mechanical and mathematical plan, on the fitness of which the Royal Society had already, as he observes, made a report. Mr. Weld, on the other hand, refers to the mutual relations of the two parties, Mr. Babbage and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, relative to the expenses and even to the ownership of the Difference-Engine, as appears by the footnote (34) at page 256.
