Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'I little thought, till your last letter but one, that I had forgot to return my hearty thanks for your additions to the Britannia, and to signify to you how proper and useful they are, in my opinion, from beginning to end ... My acknowledgments, in the next place, are due for two letters concerning the Saxon coins; one received by the post, the other enclosed in a letter, which I had the honour to receive yesterday from the Archbishop of York, and both very instructive, in order to an easy and accurate knowledge of those coins. After my most hearty thanks for them, I must desire your directions as to the place where you think they may be best inserted: my opinion is, that, being a key to the reading of the coins, they will stand most conveniently before Mr. Walker’s annotations relating to each table, with an addition of your name and Mr. Walker’s, as the respective observations upon the several tables succeed in their turns.' (Hunter 1832, vol. 2, pp. 214-16; Burnett 2020b, p. 866)
