Finlay, George |
| Scope and Content | George Finlay to Cooke. Athens, 22 December 1864. Orders for continuation of Illustrated London News, Athenaeum, Saturday Review, and Punch, and subscription to Athenaeum Club. The Times and four weekly papers from England with one from France are now sufficient (incomplete). |
| 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. |
