Congratulations on JH's appointment to Mastership of Mint. Still wishes JH had been president of R.S.L.
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 JH's appointment to Mastership of Mint. Still wishes JH had been president of R.S.L.
Will contact JH when RS returns to London.
Encloses copies of papers from R. L. Sheil. Originals will be sent later.
Is grateful for JG's offer. Did not realize what he was asking. In a state of chaos at the moment due to their impending removal.
Was pleased to receive JH's reply concerning the surety. His trip to London did him good. Curious JH should come under Sir George Grey. He has a mortgage on his property of £20,000. There is a society that will insure any sum of money.
