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.

Inviting JH, together with other members of the R.A.S., for dinner on the following day.
Sending an equation for JH to solve. Thanks for sending details of the weight of the florin, and the song from Punch. If he wishes JH may borrow books from the College library.
Sending one of his equations for JH's comments.
Happy that JH may be leaving Mint and returning to scientific pursuits. HW resumed work on equations in finite differences. Hopes to reconcile discrepancy between JH's and P. S. Laplace's solutions. JH's solution renders only particular, not general, solutions.
Approves of JH sharing HW's findings. HW on excellent terms with Augustus De Morgan. Suspects two integrals exist, one real and one imaginary, for P. S. Laplace's equation.
Sending his theory of the orbits of comets. Comments on this.
