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.
Lists 11 British cities with active Chambers of Commerce and two societies that might come 'within the Spirit of our resolution.' Will make further inquiries.
Is gratified by the way in which JH has spoken of J. W. Lubbock's suitability as a Parliamentary candidate. Sends details of the resolutions passed at Cambridge.
Sends a printed circular setting forth the claims of J. W. Lubbock as a candidate for the forthcoming election.
Hopes that JH will not be absent from the Poll as great harm will be done if he is. Has circulated his letter.
The altered state of events makes his last letter redundant. J. W. Lubbock has retired from the contest.
Responds favorably to JD's request that JH vote for J. W. Lubbock in a forthcoming election [to represent the University of Cambridge in Parliament].
