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.
A love letter on Christmas Eve from JH, at home with his mother, to his 'attached,' MS; comments about their mutual friend, James Grahame.
JH declares his undying love for MS. [Letter very correctly sent through MS's mother; see JH's 1828-12-4 to Emilia Stewart].
Informs MS that JH will probably be arriving late as the sudden death of a friend's sister may delay him; includes many expressions of JH's affection for MS.
A letter of thanks for M[H]'s hopeful letter [see M[H]'s 1828-12-5] in response to JH's declaration of love.
