| Scope and Content | Mr Editor.' n.d. Inadequacy of present impromptu Greek army; Greek fleet formed from small merchant vessels without artillery. Those wishing to help the Greeks should recognize need for proper naval and military organization. |
| 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. |
