"The Royal Irish Academy of Dublin, and the Royal Astronomical
Society of London, enrolled her name among their members.
"At the age of 97 years 10 months, she fell asleep in calm
rest, and in the full possession of her faculties; following
into a better life her father, Isaac Herschel, who lived to the
age of 60 years, 2 months, 17 days, and has lain buried not far
off since the 29th of March 1767."
This epitaph was mainly written by Miss Herschel herself, and
the allusion to her brother is characteristic.]
