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.

Last year JH agreed to review JF's paper [see JF's 1847-3-13] and to forward it to R.S. L. if it is accurate. JF now submits paper to JH.
JH's letter of 16 May 1848 was delayed by wrong title for JF, who is now minister of Free Church. Earlier letter from JH never reached JF. Happy to learn that JH received JF's mathematics paper. JF prefers to submit it to R.S.L., but when JF received no reply from JH, JF sent paper to Philip Kelland in Edinburgh, who now expects JF's paper.
JH's letter of 26 Apr. went to wrong person with same name as JF. Grateful for JH's interest in JF's mathematical paper. Hopes to submit it to R.S.L. Replies to error noticed by JH. Encloses note from Philip Kelland.
