Ulysses by James Joyce is published.
Parts of it were 1st serialized in The Little Review, and the entire work was published in Paris by Sylvia Beach #OTD in 1922, Joyce's 40th birthday. Beach commissioned Darantiere in Dijon to print 1,000 numbered copies consisting of 100 signed copies on Dutch handmade paper, 150 numbered copies on vergé d’Arches paper, and 750 copies on handmade paper, plus an extra 20 unnumbered copies on mixed paper for libraries & press. @wikipedia

Babbage is considered by some to be "father of the computer". He is credited with inventing the first mechanical computer, the Difference Engine, that eventually led to more complex electronic designs, though all the essential ideas of modern computers are to be found in Babbage's Analytical Engine, programmed using a principle openly borrowed from the Jacquard loom.
