Which scientist described himself as a supporter of Lovelace's writing?

Michael Faraday described himself as a supporter of Ada Lovelace’s writing. The remark appears in the biographical account of Lovelace’s scientific and literary work.

Faraday was one of the nineteenth century’s leading experimental scientists, known especially for his discoveries in electromagnetism and electrochemistry. Lovelace moved in overlapping intellectual circles and corresponded with prominent figures interested in science, mathematics, and invention.

Lovelace is best known for her 1843 translation of Menabrea’s paper on Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine and the extensive notes she appended to it. Those notes explained how a general-purpose machine might manipulate symbols and follow sequences of operations, ideas that now look recognisably computational.

The wording matters because Faraday was not being identified as a collaborator on the Analytical Engine. He was expressing support for Lovelace’s writing. Humphry Davy, James Clerk Maxwell, and Isaac Newton were all major scientific names, but none is the canonical answer to this specific biographical detail; Newton also lived a century before Lovelace.
