| Scope and Content | Auguste Choisy to George Finlay. Paris, 8 February 1866. Sends a brief note on Acropolis. Gratitude for George Finlay's help during his first visit to Athens (in French). With 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. |
