DeMorgan authored the entry under TABLES in both the Penny and English Cyclopedias. Copies of a number of the tables DeMorgan discusses were in the library of Charles Babbage, a resource to which DeMorgan seems to have had access.


Questions: 


1) Is there a list of the books in Babbage's Library somewhere?


2) What happened to the library upon Babbage's death?


Thanks for any insight.


Cheers, Scott
