| Scope and Content | Carl Wescher to George Finlay. Avenue de la Bourdonnais, 75, Paris, 31 August 1863. Regrets failure to return Buondelmonte and second volume of Hamilton due to unexpected departure from Athens. Will bring them with him in October (in French). |
| 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. |
