Newton, Charles Thomas |
| Scope and Content | Charles Thomas Newton to George Finlay. Rome, 6 May 1860. Incomplete state of index of Corpus of Byzantine authors; can find no reference to Halicarnassus Museum or Cnidus. Can George Finlay supply information on Caria in Byzantine authors? |
| 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. |
