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.

Is trying to get JH 2 copies of Physique sociale. Discusses additions. Addresses JH's comments concerning power of a supreme being. Sends 19th volume of annals of observatory and AQ's work on international congress on statistics.
Thanks JH for his positive judgement of his work. Mentions that [François] Moigno could only say that it was anti-religious. Another work on statistics has emerged: Versuch einer Sozialethik, 2nd. vol., by Alexander von Ochingen. In few days leaves for international conference on statistics.
