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.
Concerning exchange of some papers on meteorology.
Part I of Howard's Barometrographia will be ready on Thursday. Is pleased to hear his health has improved. A new edition of JH's Prelim. Discourse would be welcome.
Is sending C. T. Beke's certificate for his signature. Hopes his health is still improving.
Has used JH's writings for his lectures, but would like a simplification of statements dealing with the relation of temperature and pressure in the atmosphere.
Tries to help EB understand JH's writings on meteorology; some comments on location of writings.
Thanks for his suggestion for a lecture on graphical processes. Has had little communication with W. R. Birt since the latter left Kew. Has returned the book by Karl Kreil. Would be pleased to receive the Russian Observations.
Would like JH's support for his application for a position of examiner at East India Company's College. Cannot find out what he has done with Karl Kreil's book. Will send him a copy of his lecture.
