Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I have at length the pleasure to let you know I have procured for you what they call a serie mezana of brass medalls from Julius Caesar down to Galienus which they tell me is the perjiod of good work. They are fifty odd heads fair, about a dozen copies. I have never studied medals so was obliged to follow the judgment of others. I hoped to have been able to have sent you this advice long ago since, haveing employed an English Gentleman who passed this way to Rome (for my friend who’ I left there was return’d to England); that Gentleman after a long delay wrote me word he cou’d get a series at a reasonable rate, but the heads wou’d be very blind and the sizes unequall. This put me upon trying what may be done here, & employing persons to pick up what originals may be had in Florence and making copies of the rest: but you know how tedious it is to deal with Italians. I never knew people so ready to promise & so slow to perform. [continues about paintings and busts; acquiring marbles.]' (London, British Library, Ass MS 47029, pp. 73-5; Luce - Jessop 1964, vol. 8, pp. 114-15, letter 72; Burnett 2020b, p. 1050)
