| Scope and Content | James Robertson to George Finlay. Argos, 19 January 1837. Favourable comments on George Finlay's pamphlet on government of Greece exposing blunders of 'our successive rulers'. Had not expected such moderation. Comparison with Thiersch's book. |
| 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. |
