| Scope and Content | Herbert to George Finlay. Athens, 14 November 1864. Regrets having missed George Finlay when he called. Is being posted to Stockholm, but will visit George Finlay for last time. Hahn wishes to borrow Ellissen's 'Eroberung von Morea' (in French). |
| 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. |
