| Scope and Content | George Grote to George Finlay. 12 Saville Row, London, 23 August 1854. Acknowledges receipt of letter with article to be submitted to Editor of Edinburgh Review (with stamped envelope addressed to George Finlay, South Lawn, Southport, Lancs., containing Grote's visiting card). |
| 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. |
