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.
Encourages JH to view the change being proposed [see JH's 1854-9-6] as an improvement.
Sends on a letter from George Peacock, who is quite opposed to the proposed changes [see JH's 1854-9-6]; GA would be interested in JH's response.
Is to have a visit from Bank of England representatives to discuss making an adjustment in the weight of a gold sovereign; seeks GA's comments on the proposed changes.
The proposed change would make little difference to the Royal Mint, but as GA points out, new coins would have an effect on banking transactions [see GA's 1854-9-19].
