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.

Family news.
Arrangements for the 12th suits him well, and looks forward to staying with him.
Would be very pleased to spend a day with him before his return.
Will be pleased to accompany him to the observatory on Thursday. Hopes that by then he and C. G. B. Daubeny will have recovered.
Unable to receive him on Wednesday; hopes he can manage Thursday.
Come at once.
Was delighted to receive news of the birth of JH's son. Has been suffering from headache herself.

Would like JH to come and have tea to discuss the idea of a fluid object glass, with which her husband is at present engrossed.
James A. Gordon has been moved to Naish, though it will take some time before he will be able to move about. Has had a letter introducing a Mr. Agevado, who wishes to see one of the farms, but unfortunately left no address. Can JH advise Mr. Stewart?
Is not certain what has happened to JH's paper. Is on his way to London to try and clear up the mystery.
Please excuse the delay in replying to JH's letter. He has been busy opening churches and travelling. [Alexander] Strahan will write about the article.
Has just seen her brother who will be able to find the color-blind French artist's address if JH can send her his name.
Would like him to accept a small work on the analysis of force.

Is grateful that JH has allowed him to insert his opinion in the passages in his own work. Regrets the trouble he has been put to.
Would like to quote his authority in matters connected with the passages in the pyramids.
