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.
Further regarding the theory of sound.
Is grateful for his article on musical scales. Queries regarding musical sounds. Has had to leave his old abode due to building operations.
Was pleased to receive JH's translation of Dante. Wished he lived near enough to pay them a visit.
Thanks for verses on the transit of Mercury; comments on observation of an auroral arch and eclipse observations of the solar corona.
Thanks for his article on musical scales. Will read it later when he has time. Comments on the system of equal temperament. Will send some of his own papers later.
