| Scope and Content | Ernest Renan to George Finlay. Paris, 29 April 1869. Regrets delay in publishing Brue's work submitted by George Finlay. Editor of the Journal of the Société Asiatique hesitates. Is sending George Finlay his work on St. Paul; his appreciation of assistance given by George Finlay's library in Athens (in French). |
| 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. |
