Logical machine is a term used by Allan Marquand (1853-1924) in 1883, perhaps in response to the ideas of Charles Sanders Peirce's "Logical Machines" as appearing for example in The American Journal of Psychology, 1. Nov. 1887, p. 165-170 (Google Books Eprint page 165).

“... in the fierce competition of modern society the only class left in the country possessing leisure is that of women supported in easy circumstances by husband or father, and it is to this class we must look for the maintenance of cultivated and refined tastes, for that value and pursuit of knowledge and of art for their own sakes which can alone save society from degenerating into a huge machine for making money, and gratifying the love of sensual luxury.”
—Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)
