The Sir John Herschel Collection
The preparation of the print Calendar of the Correspondence of Sir John Herschel (Michael J. Crowe ed., David R. Dyck and James J. Kevin assoc. eds, Cambridge, England: Cambridge Univ. Press, 1998, viii + 828 pp) which was funded by the National Science Foundation, took ten years. It was accomplished by a team of seventeen professors, visiting scholars, graduate students, advanced undergraduates, and staff working at the University of Notre Dame.
The first online version of Calendar was created in 2009 by Dr Marvin Bolt and Steven Lucy, working at the Webster Institute of the Adler Planetarium, and it is that data that has now been reformatted for incorporation into Ɛpsilon.
Further information about Herschel, his correspondence, and the editorial method is available online here: http://historydb.adlerplanetarium.org/herschel/?p=intro
No texts of Herschel’s letters are currently available through Ɛpsilon.

Has seen the papers, which consist of some 30 pages, the longest being in the Commercium Epistolicum. Knows someone who would copy them accurately and at a reasonable price.
Giving details of Thatcham Church and of the tablet, which is to be erected in memory of Francis Baily. Sculptor will be sending proof of the inscription.
Does he know anything about E. J. Lowe's book [Treatise on Atmospheric Phenomena, 1846] on atmospheric phenomena? Looks good but cannot trust his own judgement. Could not dine with him as he had another appointment.
Will send his man to C. R. Weld. F. W. Bessel will be in good time for council. Is glad he is on the last chapter.
