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.
Expresses deep appreciation for JG's loan of £500 to JH in difficult period. Sorry to hear of JG's suffering.
JG's health. Rejoices that JH and family are residing at Harley Street. Doubts that Alfred Smee's 'reasoning machine' is any more attractive than was Smee's electro-biology. Results of recent tests for magnetic power in human body. Insufficient data to answer question of gold standard. JG's groom was injured in accident.
Obedience is better than sacrifice. Is progressing slowly. Hopes to visit JH at Harley St. soon.
