| Scope and Content | Thomas Gordon to George Finlay. Argos, 1 June 1838. Unwillingness to print George Finlay's Oropia together with his Thermopylae. Reflections on Ctesias' account of Cyrus. With letter added by James Robertson re crops on their property and Bank in Athens. |
| 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. |
