Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'I am extremely obliged to you for your kind assistance in procuring me leave to engrave some medals from Dr. Mead’s collections; but Mr. Vertue, having more business than he can dispatch already upon his hands, and being unacquainted with the abbreviations, &c. found on coins, does not care to engage in a work where he may probably err, though I purposed a greater price than other engravers demand. I must therefore renew my request, and humbly beg the favour of you to indulge the same liberty to Mr. Kirkall, an honest plain man that I have been long acquainted with, and whom I have directed to wait on you. Dr. Mead, I think, has not a Didia Clara; so that if you can procure him liberty to draw one from any other cabinet, it will increase the obligation. ... P. S. The heads I defire to have engraved are of Helvius Pertinax, Didius Julian, Manila Scantilla, and Didia Clara. I have got a Titiana done at Oxford.' (Nichols 1781-1790, p. 490; Burnett 2020b, p. 1133 n. 158)
