| Scope and Content | Frances Power Cobbe to George Finlay. Newbridge House, Malahide, Co. Dublin, 8 November 1858. Gratitude for kindnesses received in Athens. Spent summer in Florence with 'the nice literary people there', Brownings, Trollopes, etc. With an old 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. |
