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.
On RM's stepping down as president of Geological Society. Where exactly abroad will RM pursue enquiries?
Responds to RM's request for an analysis of the cause of the difference in climate between Orenburg and Catherineburg in Russia. Agrees that Geological Society can print JH's Alpine memoir.
Offers an explanation of the phenomena of the freezing cave of Illetzkaya Zatchita in Russia.
Would like JH to come to Manchester on 23-25 to give support for the Kew Observatory. F. W. Bessel and G. A. Erman are coming.
Sends a memoir he has scribbled off for next Wednesday's meeting. Would like JH's advice on several points.
Many thanks for JH's explanations, which gave satisfaction to the geologists. Gives two queries of his own for which he would like clarification. Can they print JH's Alpine phenomena memoir?
Pleased that JH can come on the occasion of F. W. Bessel's visit, as W. R. Hamilton, G. B. Airy, and Francis Baily cannot come. Comments regarding Foreign Orders.
