Fifteen portraits form a valuable part of the biography. The reader who studies this appalling family history will be likely to agree that, had it not been for Ada's 1843 paper on computer programming, the entire tribe of Byron's descendants and relatives throughout the 19th century should have been left mercifully in the oblivion which they so richly deserve. pubtype: Review doctype: Book Review src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Annals of Science is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
