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 grateful for JH's goodness regarding the pyramids. Gives measurements of the pyramids and would be grateful for any comments JH can make regarding the significance of these measurements.
Is grateful for his note and the book; has been ill, which accounts for the delay in his acknowledgement. The verses appear to give a good idea of the original.
Is grateful that JH has allowed him to insert his opinion in the passages in his own work. Regrets the trouble he has been put to.
Would like to quote his authority in matters connected with the passages in the pyramids.
Returns his letter, which he finds so interesting he would like to call on him personally respecting it. Has written to Mr. Perning concerning the longitude and latitude of the pyramids. Has arranged to send vol. 1 of the great pyramid at Gizeh.
