| Scope and Content | Louis Agassiz to George Finlay. Cambridge, Mass., 20 February 1865. Requests George Finlay to send him copies or extracts from his correspondence with the late Cornelius Conway Felton, as he proposes to write memoir of F (his brother-in-law). |
| 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. |
