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.)

Someone in the Fediverse found an online archive of the Whole Earth Catalog: Signal issue (1988) a ways back.

That has some excellent bits of online history in it I'm looking for. nSadly, the information in it apparently does not want to be free.

If this sounds familiar, please respond.

Resistances to the Adoption of Technological Innovations 19 Journal of the Patent Office Society 1937

Journal of the Patent Ofice Society Resistances to the Adoption of Technological Innovations By BERNHARD J. STERN (continued from October) COMMUNICATION Writing.-Innovations in the field of communication 'have likewise been opposed at every step, in spite of their utility in diffusing and perpetuating knowledge and thus augmenting man's control over his environment. Priestly classes in many early societies resisted the re- cording of tradition in writing, and the extension of literacy has frequently been opposed by ruling classes as a ferment to discontent. Writing as a conserving instrument is itself extremely conservative. Scripts acquire highly emotionalized at- tachments, and become identified with cultural and nationalist symbolism. The result is that styles of writ- ing and alphabets become tenacious. The ancient and medieval scripts prevailed for over five centuries, the Gothic for over eight centuries, and is today being re- vived in Nazi Germany. Even when one script displaces another, the older form persists in use for special pur- poses.08 Organized resistance has been made to changes in alphabets as when the elimination of three letters from the Bulgarian alphabet in 1922 provoked the resignation of two ministers.9 The Latinizing of the Turkish alphabet was strenuously opposed especially in religious circles. Simplified spelling has aroused not only ridicule and disparagement, but at times bitter resentment. The same conservatism is evident in numerical nota- tion. In 1299 an edict was issued in Florence forbidding bankers to use Arabic numerals, and Roman numerals are still widely used especially for ceremonial purposes.70 68Stern, Bernhard J., Writing in Encyclopaedia of the Social Sciences, vol.
