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.
Treasury commissioners will not make exception in case of Edward Enfield, who must accept position in reformed Mint or lose compensation for termination of Moneyers' contract.
Consider CT's official letter of 16 Apr. suspended. Fee will probably be abolished and H. W. Field's salary increased to £500. Received today's letter from JH with enclosure by H. D. Harness regarding conduct of Moneyers. Will forward these to Chancellor of Exchequer [Charles Wood].
Treasury commissioners approved JH's appointments and retirement of J. M. Beckwith [see JH's 1851-4-14]. Give legal notice of contract termination immediately to G. F. G. Mathison. Henry Bingley's claim for compensation will not be considered until JH's evaluation of it is completed.
Decision by Chancellor of Exchequer [Charles Wood] regarding admissions to Coining rooms. Fee for assayer H. W. Field will now come from Mint accounts, not from Field personally.
