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.
Planning to edit a volume of hexameter verse translations. Wishes to include JH's translation of Friedrich Schiller's 'The Walk.'
Responds to JH's argument that WW's system of morality rests on expediency considerations. Argues that it rests more on empirical considerations than JH recognizes.
Informs JH about WW's forthcoming collection of hexameter verse translations. Laments that the discovery of the new planet [Neptune] did not occur at Cambridge.
Suggests final revisions to JH's hexameter translation of Friedrich Schiller's 'The Walk.' Informs JH of the other authors of verses in the volume.
