| Scope and Content | Sir John Lubbock to George Finlay. 15 Lombard St., London, 28 November 1871. Thanks for prehistoric specimens; sends his paper on 'Relationship'; asks George Finlay for communication for Anthropological Institute (previously stuck on front flyleaf of J.

| 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. |
