| Scope and Content | Jean-Alexandre Buchon to George Finlay. 17 July 1845. Re B's work on Greece from the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries. Refers to George Finlay's work on Turkish conquest of Morea (in French). Also drawing, newspaper cutting and loose note. With an old paper enclosure. |
| 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. |
