| Scope and Content | John Leicester Warren to George Finlay. 32A Brook St., London, W., 14 April 1867. Discusses George Finlay's numismatic paper with de Salis who is sending George Finlay a series of notes when the Blacas and Ramsay collections are arranged. Freeman in Normandy; vol. i of his Norman Conquest well received. In the Pall Mall Gazette Stratford praises George Finlay's letters from Athens. |
| 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. |
