Finlay, George |
| Scope and Content | Loose cuttings. Miscellaneous collection of press cuttings, dating from 1845 to 1873, covering a wide range, e.g. Scottish affairs, the Nile, the Navy, etc. Also 3 handwritten notes and 1 bill. |
| 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. |
