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.
Regarding an appendix to W. J. Hooker's article for the Admiralty Manual by [Augustin] Creuze if it is not already covered by Hooker.
George Eden (1st Earl of Auckland) concurs in JH's view that [Augustin] Creuze's letter should form an appendix to the article by W. J. Hooker.
Accompanying packet has just arrived from [Richard?] Owen. Appears that it will make the Admiralty Manual larger. Would like JH's views.
