Probably would be an interesting book on one of the giants of astronomy but at approx. $100 !

As an alternate, try The Herschels and Modern Astronomy by Agnes M. Clerke. It was published in 1901. It is a thorough and well documented work dealing with the Herschels father, sister and son. Worth a read and now out of copyright. I found my copy in Project Gutenberg. Just checked and it popped up in a search on the author’s name.

Got this book from bookshop years back dated 1851. It’s pretty knocked about but still readable. Tony
