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.
Sending the quarters reports. Comments on these reports.
Has received his note. Occurs to him that the best plan would be for JH to borrow his manuscripts on rain. If he will notify him of the Railway address, he will dispatch them at once.
Has sent his rain papers from Lewisham station this morning. Is in no hurry for their return. Will send on his manuscript when he can find it.
Sending the results of some recent balloon flights. Comments on these. Would be pleased to see Alexander Herschel when he is free.
Do not send the whole parcel; one form for each month is all he requires. Has not received the report of the Luminous Committee yet. Has sent Harrow's bill to JH's son.
Editor of the Leisure Hour would like an article on the Correlation of the Physical forces. Would JH be prepared to write such an article?
