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.
Gratitude on behalf of Yorkshire Philosophical Society for JH's offer to send Cape Results.
Only received JH's letter yesterday as he does not visit Cork very often. Is not surprised at JH's findings on platinum. Gives some of the more important memoirs on platinum. Is pleased that JH is interested in chemical research into platinum.
Delivery of copies [of JH's Cape Results] to Munich as directed by JH will result in charge. Does JH want to apply to Bavarian minister to transmit these free?
