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.
Response to a positive letter from ME, which was sent in response to JH's sending her portions of his essay on light.
Thanks ME for sympathies [on death of William Herschel]. Received ME's list of books on Irish history. Met [John] Brinkley and wife and ME's brother during their visit to England.
Thanks for ME's letter; JH hopes to see her in Ireland in summer.
Would she read the enclosed letter and show the passage marked to Mrs. F. M. Wilson. This morning he dispatched to her a book and gloves. Will send the photographs and picture by some other means later.
