| Scope and Content | John Leicester Warren to George Finlay. 32A Brook St., London, W., 18 June [1866]. Dispatch of offprints to George Finlay's article on coinage of the Achaean League. Freeman and Chair at Oxford. 'Poor Lord Stratford's fatuity in turning poet in his extreme old age.' |
| 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. |
