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.
Are preparing an objective for JH, which they expect to send in August.
Thanks for the address of the Admiralty; will send the instrument away in three weeks. Would JH send his observations to them via Williams Norgate (bookseller).
Grateful for kind reception that JH gave to GM's son, who attended Exhibition to demonstrate GM's telescopes.
The refractor [see GM's 1846-2-12] has now been shipped, and the account is rendered. As well, GM provides two pages of instructions about setting up the telescope.
Some small disagreement about the bill for the refractor [see GM's 1847-10-16].
Expresses thanks at considerable length for gift of JH's Cape Results.
