Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Inclosed I return you Lord Stamford's Manuscript, with many thanks. I have shewn it to Mr. Folkes, and to several of my friends eminent and learned in our English Coins, who are all well pleased with it, and are thereby convinced how great an Antiquary that Noble Lord was. ... As to Lord Stamford, I should be glad if you would ask your mother, who I think is still living, whether there was any printed Catalogue of his Coins? in what year they were sold? what year the Books were sold? whether any Catalogue of them is remaining any where to her knowledge? whether any gentlemen in your neighbourhood or elsewhere bought any number of them?' (Nichols 1817-1858, vol. 3, pp. 590-1; Burnett 2020b, p. 1035 n. 246)
