| Scope and Content | Lord Dufferin to George Finlay. Blenheim Palace, Woodstock, 4 December 1861. Expresses thanks for promised picture and for receipt of George Finlay's History of the Greek Revolution. With 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. |
