| Scope and Content | T. Hayes to George Finlay. Liverpool Courier Office, 3 April 1845. Acknowledges justice of George Finlay's accusation of plagiarism against H. W. Dewhurst but begs him to let matter drop (letter stuck on front flyleaf of Young, Criticism on the Elegy . . . of Gray, 2nd edn., Edinburgh, 1810. Newspaper cuttings of Dewhurst's lecture at end of book). |
| 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. |
