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.
Lord Aberdeen [George Hamilton-Gordon] will see JH at 11 o'clock this morning.
Soldiers are suffering in this unhealthy country for want of occupation. Hopes he has been able to lighten his duties at the Mint. Administration seems inefficient in the supply to the troops.
Would like a letter from JH giving him authority to have the box to open. Is busy with the Report.
Has been very busy; otherwise he would have acknowledged his cheque before. Is glad to hear better news from India. Bad organization for the arming of the British troops in India.
