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.

Is returning the packet and would JH send the envelope to Mr. Crozier. Inform Sir John Franklin that any further letters should be sent c/o of JB's private address. Includes two short verses.
Since JH's departure the weather has been bad. A stone is to be erected to commemorate JH's work at the Cape. Political news of the Cape. Is anxious to know views of the educational scheme.
Thanks JH for his long and insightful memorandum of 1838-2-17 on the system of Government Free Schools at the Cape of Good Hope. Accepts many of JH's ideas and requests that JH, after returning to England, present JH's ideas to Lord Glenelg.
