"What vast intellectual treasures are opened up by the study of mathematics!"

"I have been somewhat exhausted by the labor of composition."

"The Analytical Engine is nothing but an instrument for rendering visible to the eye the results of operations."

"I am particularly pleased with the mechanical representation of my thoughts."

"There can be little doubt that that will be the case."

"I fear that I shall not be able to do justice to so vast a subject."
