Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'He [Stukeley] is extremely injudicious, and whimsical to the last degree. His ‘Carausius’ is one of the wildest books that ever were written; and he is going to publish another as wild on British coins. He sometimes tires the patience of the Antiquarian Society with a dissertation which never fails of exciting laughter.' (Nichols 1812-1815, vol. 8, p. 240; Allen 1970, p. 123 (corr.); Burnett 2020b, p. 923)
