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.

Congratulations on finishing his paper. Would he check over the proofs. Richard Jones is well, though not well enough to attend at the College chapel. J. E. D. Bethune and John Lefevre are staying with Jones. Bethune starts for India in February.
Francis Jeffrey (Lord Jeffrey) is the writer of Plaidoyer in the last number; intends it to be a judicial deliverance. Has sent JH's review of the translation of Kosmos to Lord Jeffrey and he praised it highly. Gives some of his comments.
