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.
Speculates on gravitational effect of sun and moon on earth's atmosphere.
Book he intended to write has had to be postponed as he has been asked to prepare a second edition of his Weather Book. Sends a proof of the revision of the 18th chapter.
Thanks for his opinion; it will save him from exposure, but it is too late to get the book altered. Comments on some parts of JH's book on meteorology. The atmosphere appears to be smaller in extent than John Dalton conceived.
Comments on RF's ideas on the gravitational effect of the sun and moon on the earth's atmosphere.
