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.
Comments on the publication of several volumes.
Thanks for the additional subscription to the Rifle Corps. Regrets that he could not attend due to indisposition.
Has just returned from town and found JH's letter in Greenwood's volumes. Looks forward with pleasure to perusing the volumes.
Is obliged for letting him see Greenwood's letter about the book, but he did not himself write the review; it was written by an eminent scholar in that field.
Regrets to hear that he proposes to retire from the captaincy of the Hawkhurst Company of the Rifle Volunteers.
