| Scope and Content | George Finlay to Mowbray Morris. Athens, 18 January 1866. Arrangement for payment for George Finlay's letters inserted in The Times. Comment on violation of Greek constitution and administrative incapacity. |
| 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. |
