| Scope and Content | John Robert Steuart to George Finlay. Naples, 9 March 1846. Presents George Finlay with his book on ancient monuments and recommends the bearer Tomaso Paxos to him (stuck on front flyleaf of J. R. S., Description of Some Ancient Monuments . . . in Lydia and Phrygia, London, 1842). |
| 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. |
