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.
Willing to write to [secretary of state for War and the Colonies, Charles Grant] Lord Glenelg on behalf of JS's application. JH searching for new residence.
Sends letter of recommendation for JS and returns draft of JS's letter to [Charles Grant] Lord Glenelg, with recommended changes. Promise from Glenelg's father to JS's father [A. Stewart] is grounds for JS's application.
[Richard] Jones's view is correct. Will wait to hear what Mr. [Meade?] has to say, before JH writes to Mr. Hodges.
Advises JH to have Foreign Office send letter to Col. Campbell, consul in Alexandria, to accompany R.S.L.'s letter to Pasha. Otherwise, R.S.L. letter may be ignored. Good news from [Duncan Stewart]. JS is not going to Scotland; may visit Slough instead.
