    I originally wondered if it was by Charles Babbage or Ada Lovelace as it was appropriate even then.

    Yeah, I was thinking maybe Charles Babbage or Ada Lovelace, guessed 1859, and got it wrong. Turns out that Ada Lovelace had died in 1852 anyway, although Babbage didn't figure in the correct answer either.
