Scope and Content James Clyde to George Finlay. n.d. Thanks for receipt of newspapers (previously stuck on back flyleaf of J. A. Cramer, A Geographical and Historical Description of Ancient Greece, vol. 1, Oxford, 1828).
Notes Letters that reference two dates 12 days apart, eg. 24 April/6 May 1828, are referring to both the Julian and Gregorian calendars. Greece was one of the last European countries to adopt the Gregorian calendar. At this time, the Julian calendar was 12 days behind the Gregorian.
