| Scope and Content | Francis C. Penrose to George Finlay. Office: Cathedral Surveyor's Office, St. Pauls House, 23 Albany Street, N.W. London, 11 May 1857. To introduce Mr. W. Burges, architect of Memorial Church at Constantinople, who is visiting Athens. Travels of R. Church and P in the Morea. |
| 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. |
