| Scope and Content | George Finlay to J. Armingaud, Membre de l'Ecole Française d'Athènes [sent to 17, rue Cassette, Paris, by G. Deville]. Athens, 30 August 1864. Requests return of his copy of Pt. I of Thomas and Tafel which A failed to send back before he left Greece 'otherwise I shall feel it a duty to take every measure in my power for obtaining justice. My arms and name are pasted in the volume'. Paper label with M. Armingaud's name and address, attached to same sheet as G. Deville (see above). |
| 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. |
