Finlay, George |
| Scope and Content | Black, worn black calf spine, printed book. G. Finlay, The Communications between Europe and India through Egypt, considered in relation to the political and commercial interests of Great Britain and the policy of France (London, Smith Elder and Co., 65 Cornhill, 1846), pp. 1-73. And some loose newspaper cuttings and handwritten jottings. |
| 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. |
