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.
Assurance that JH's lack of response is due not to discourtesy but to lack of information.
Mint must resume gold coinage and needs to take possession of Moneyers' equipment quickly. This will relieve Moneyers of additional responsibility.
Moneyers still have not received confirmation about compensation for loss of their centuries-old contract. Urges JH to arrange speedy settlement.
JH is not authorized to communicate officially with Moneyers. Will do so as soon as authority is granted.
Did JH ever report Moneyers' situation to Treasury? Or are JH and [Henry] Rich still giving it 'consideration'?
Thanks JH for offer to relieve Moneyers of responsibility for coinage, but Moneyers would rather have some information about what Treasury is planning to do with them.
