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.
Bookseller at Stuttgart has requested JL to make a translation of JH's Outlines Astr. Would like JH's views on the matter.
Private. Benedetto Pistrucci appealed to Lord Derby [E. G. G. S. Stanley]. If consulted, JH will recommend that former distinctions within Engraving department be abolished. If Pistrucci insists on using his former title, he may no longer do so as an officer of the Mint. Will approve pension if Pistrucci chooses to retire.
Enclosed items just arrived from Francis Beaufort. [Richard?] Jones is in good health.
Copy of Mr. Stewart's note to JH was sent to Baldwin Walker, surveyor of Navy, to evaluate new 'stopper' it recommended. Returns original to JH.
Requests permission to visit Mint as personal favor to TC, whose father knew JH's father personally.
Thanks JH for having the kindness to warn BP of construction on the wall adjacent to BP's studio. Asks for BP's salary again.
