| Scope and Content | The Revd. Jonas H. King to George Finlay. 18 August 1845. Information on American Missionary Schools in Greece 1828-37. With an older paper enclosure. |
| 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. |
