Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'This day, Mr. Walker was desiring a little of my assistance, to put the coins in order, that every man may have his own. I suppose we shall set aside some day next week for that business, and afterwards your’s shall be carefully delivered to any one you shall think fit to trust with the carriage of them. Mr. Walker has now almost finished, and the whole body consists of eight plates, which are very beautiful, and will be a great ornament to the book. So soon as there is one entirely finished, you shall have it sent, enclosed in a letter, and from thence you may judge of the rest.' (Hunter 1832, vol. 1, pp. 156-7; Burnett 2020b, pp. 864-5)
