Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

Lettre du 3 septembre 1723 (de Paris): The honble Benedict Leonard Calvert, Esq. informs me, in a Letter from Paris dated Sept. 3, 1723, that that Country affords little pleasure in the search of Antiquities; not that there is an entire want of them, but they are so disposed that it requires much time & application to see them. The King’s Library; being under some new regulations & alterations, is intirely shut up. His Closet of Medalls, &c., cannot be seen without an Order from himself. Indeed, at Versailes, in the Gardens, are several antique figures, which Mr. Calvert took some pains to examine. There are 3 senatorial figures, att y e feet of each a sort of Capsa, or Coffer. But yet which seems most valuable, as best executed, is one of Titus, the Roman Emperour, in the Military habit, resting one hand on a shield; on his Brest is represented two Angels, as it were supporting a Candlestick with seven Branches. This Mr. Calvert takes to be his triumph after the taking of Jerusalem. (Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Rawl. letters 4, f° 379).
