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.
Mrs. Newton, MH's servant, is being sued by a man who recommended her for the job, and JH is to be a witness in MH's stead.
Mostly about the court case [see JH's 1854-3-22]; it appears the plaintiff lost.
Mostly about a Mrs. [J. A.] Gordon, who has suffered a personal loss [death of her husband], and a young man who seems to be lost.
Is looking forward anxiously to coming to Collingwood on Friday; the Mint had a surprise visit from the Queen this day.
Comments on the health of MH and daughters Margaret Louisa and Francisca, and then JH complains of his own health problems.
