The text is composed, as far as possible, from their own words, using extracts from William Herschel's brief autobiographical notes and from Caroline's very full journals, as well as from letters. A variety of illustrative figures and an appendix section are also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the Herschels, astronomy and music.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e1. 1651–1757\u003cbr\u003e 2. 1757–61\u003cbr\u003e 3. 1762–6\u003cbr\u003e 4. 1767–72\u003cbr\u003e 5. 1773–80\u003cbr\u003e 6. 1781\u003cbr\u003e 7. 1781–2\u003cbr\u003e 8. 1782\u003cbr\u003e 9. 1782–6\u003cbr\u003e 10. 1786–9\u003cbr\u003e 11. 1786–8\u003cbr\u003e 12. 1783–5\u003cbr\u003e 13. 1784–94\u003cbr\u003e 14. 1786–1802\u003cbr\u003e 15. 1792–1802\u003cbr\u003e 16. 1788–98\u003cbr\u003e 17. 1793–1804\u003cbr\u003e 18. 1804–17\u003cbr\u003e 19. 1797–1802\u003cbr\u003e 20. 1802–6\u003cbr\u003e 21. 1807–13\u003cbr\u003e 22. 1812–16\u003cbr\u003e 23. 1813–22\u003cbr\u003e 24. 1822–48\u003cbr\u003e Appendix 1.
