Newton, Charles Thomas |
| Scope and Content | Charles Thomas Newton to George Finlay. British Museum, 22 July 1864. Re possible publication of Hahn's memoir on Troy in Transactions of the Royal Society of Literature. Discussion about payment of N's subscription to the Greek Ελπις. Is glad to hear of Hahn's discoveries at Bournabashi but does not believe this to be Troy. |
| 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. |
