COMMENTS
The first nonzero column gives the factorial numbers, which are Stirling_1(*,1), the rightmost diagonal gives Stirling_1(*,2), so this triangle may be regarded as interpolating between the first two columns of the Stirling numbers of the first kind.
This is a slice (the right-hand wall) through the infinite square pyramid described in the link. The other three walls give A007318 and A008276 (twice).
The coefficients of the A165674 triangle are generated by the asymptotic expansion of the higher order exponential integral E(x,m=2,n). The a(n) formulas for the coefficients in the right hand columns of this triangle lead to Wiggen's triangle A028421 and their o.g.f.s. lead to the sequence given above. Some right hand columns of the A165674 triangle are A080663, A165676, A165677, A165678 and A165679. - Johannes W. Meijer, Oct 07 2009

FORMULA
Recurrence: T(n,0) = 0; for n>=0, i>=1, T(n+1,i) = (n+1)*T(n,i) + n!*binomial(n,i).
E.g.f.: x*log(1-(1+x)*y)/(x*y-1)/(1+x). - Vladeta Jovovic, Feb 13 2007
