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.

Sends proof of Bank's article on gold coinage. Tell HC of any corrections that JH may want.
Printer can still include JH's corrections to article [on gold coinage], but not JH's enclosed letter to the Times.
Sends copy of Bank's published volume on gold coinage controversy.
Returns proofs with slight alterations. Encloses copy of letter JH sent to the Times on similar subject.
Gratitude for copy of Bank's published volume on gold coinage controversy. Regrets that volume does not contain letter to the Times containing U.S. assay master W. E. Du Bois's testimony to integrity of British gold coinage, 'a most satisfactory answer to Mr. Segal's charge against it.'
