Newton, Charles Thomas |
| Scope and Content | Charles Thomas Newton to George Finlay. British Museum, 6 July 1869. Asks whether Ephemeris Archailologike came out from 1859 to 1862 and was continued from 1863; would like a complete set, also any other publications of the Archaeological Society. Reference to a seventeenth-century MS. containing description of Chios and the Giustiniani in possession of the Bishop of St. Davids. |
| 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. |
