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.
Submits JH's reformed organizational plan for Mint and new personnel assignments [see JH's 1851-7-26] for approval by Treasury commissioners.
Treasury commissioners have approved JH's new organizational plan and assignments for Mint.
Encloses minutes of Treasury commissioners, approving compensation by Paymaster-general to company of Moneyers for loss of earnings due to reform at Mint.
Please return Treasury minutes regarding compensation for Moneyers so CT may alter it. JH may give copy of it to Moneyers. Returns Jasper Atkinson's application.
Returns JH's original schedule for Mint reform, with amendments.
Please send copy of R. L. Sheil's letter of 10 May 1849 regarding retirement of John Beckwith.
Treasury commissioners admit merits of claims by Mint officers, whom JH supports, but does not agree to pay raises. Calculating salaries for more years than officers have actually served would set bad precedent for other public offices.
