| Scope and Content | Five letters from Edward Ellice, M.P., Chairman of the Greek Committee in London to Captain Hastings, London. Includes an annotated paper enclosure from the 20th century that predates the Hussey catalogue. |
| 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. |
