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.
Photographic news. Has heard about the JHs.
Would like account of the telescope of Warren de La Rue which JH has. E. J. Stone of the Royal Observatory has seen objects on the sun's surface like grains of rice.
Corrections on JH's manuscript on sunspots. Please keep alterations to minimum. Will send complimentary copies of Quarterly Journal of Science. Please write brief note on 'vaporous ring' and its bearing upon sunspots.
