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.

Selling house [in London]; comments on H. S. Boase's writing on annuities.
Knew he would get a speedy answer. Quick, the Bristol bookseller, has sent him an edition of Francis Walkingame's Arithmetic. Thinks JH is right to sell Francis Baily's house. G. B. Libri may wish to buy. His puns are unavoidable. Hopes JH will have his house valued.
Thanks for the newspaper cutting repudiating his wisdom on weather matters. Has had erroneous charges laid at his own door. What arms has he taken?
Sending a moral song. Sent one to W. H. Smyth.
Can JH come in on Sunday evening? Where do the authors of drinking songs get their facts?
