Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'I know you have examined the coins in Camden with great nicety, and can tell at one view, what we have and what we want. The favour, then, that I desire is, that you will review Mr. Walkers coins and notes; and add by themselves a table or two, (according as the number shall rise) of such as he omitted or have been since discovered, with your own annotations upon them, in order to be added in the new edition. This, I know, you can do with greater ease, advantage, and exactness, than any man in England; and therefore, to be plain, it is a request wherein I will not be denied; to which (now my hand is in) I will take the liberty to add another, that you will be so kind to do what you judge convenient upon this head, as soon as your other affairs will permit, because the revisal of Camden, in order to the press, is well nigh finished.' (Hunter 1832, vol. 2, pp. 200-1; Burnett 2020b, p. 866)
