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.
Sent him a paper on differential equations about a month ago and wonders if it has gone astray as he has heard nothing from JH.
Regrets any inconvenience he has caused but is grateful for JH's act and offer to communicate his paper to the R.S.L.
Wishes he had seen JH's paper before submitting his own; then he could have rectified his errors. Has been carrying out some electrical experiments. Sent abstract to Michael Faraday, who does not understand them. Would be pleased to send JH further scientific communications.
