Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I lately saw our friend Tom Martin, who tells me he has about thirty Carausius's which he will either give you in London, or send them to me in order for my conveying them to you for your perusal.
...
I have picked up a few more Carausius's, but all of the common sort. Enclosed I have sent you the draught of a seal that has just fallen into my hands, & I take to be a very great curiosity, belonging to some of our quondam religious neighbours. It seems to have been extreamly well preserved, every letter beingperfect ; it is of bell metal. The seals themselves are round, the handle hexagonal. It was found by some turnip houghers in Brandon Field, about 4 miles north-west of me.
...
P.S. — If you meet Tom Martin claim the Carausius's in my name. I desire your opinion of the enclosed seal, as likewise of the date of it.'

(Lukis 1882-1887, vol. 1 p. 403)
