| Scope and Content | Julius Millingen to George Finlay at Zante. Mesolonghi, 16 October 1824. M's own illness. Complaints about Bruno's accusations and discussion of Byron's last illness (stuck on front flyleaf of Julius Millengen, Memoirs of the Affairs of Greece . . ., London, 1831; this book contains a number of pencilled additions by George Finlay and some reference to himself). |
| Notes | Greece was one of the last European countries to adopt the newer Gregorian calendar. For most of the nineteenth century, the Julian calendar was 12 days behind the Gregorian. British correspondents in the Finlay Collection tend to use the newer calendar. Letters with two dates 12 days apart, eg. 24 April / 6 May 1828, refer to both the Julian and Gregorian calendars. |
