Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'The account you give me of your Carausius pleases me much. How much more pleasure will it be to me, then, when I come to read the work? It is certainly the darkest part of all the Roman history, as you have little or no light to guide you from any of their writers. Genebrier, I think, like a true French writer, has been too prolix on the subject, & has not supported his arguments by sufficient authorities. You stand upon his shoulders, & may see farther, & I doubt not will give us clearer notions of those times than any that have gone before you.' (Lukis 1882-1887, vol. 1, pp. 407-8; Burnett 2020b, p. 961)
