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.

We will drink to your health on June 9, the day on which #600 of the Astronomische Nachrichten will appear.
In explanation of [15:399] reminds JH of all he wrote for Astronomische Nachrichten previously. Cannot attend B.A.A.S. meeting because of daughter's wedding, but would have declined anyway because of foreseen arguments over the merits of J. C. Adams and U. J. J. Leverrier. Thanks JH for standing invitation to visit England.
Wilhelm Struve stayed several days with HS enroute from England to Pulkowa, but forgot to leave copies of [JH's Cape Results] for HS and K. L. C. Rümker. Later, Struve forgot to give these to G. B. Airy, who was visiting Pulkovo, for delivery to HS. HS has not yet seen Cape Results, or J. J. Lalande's catalogue to be sent by B.A.A.S. Happy to publish R.A.S. invitation for observations of solar spots. Short poem about Rümker losing a comet.
