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.
Will report on recent changes in supply and demand for precious metals after JH contacts persons named in JR's letter.
Richard Jones is wrong in attacking Mr. Tucker. JH must inform W. H. Sykes that [JH's son] William is going to Madras and not to Bombay. Believes that [W. H. C. Plowden] will change William's assignment. Letter from Lord John Russell has increased JH's work load. John Barlow suggests that MBH, not JH, should become member of Royal Institution. Encloses draft of letter to E. Mackintosh.
