Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I cannot forbear informing you that I had very ill lick at Cambridge as an Antiquary; for Dr. Parris, the public librarian, was at London, and had the key of the cabinet of coins, so that I could not see them. I was not quite idle, for I saw what are in Trinity and St. John's library, and commenced acquaintance with a most valuable man, Mr. Mason of Trinity, the Woodwardian professor, a general good scholar and excellent Antiquary; through whose Kindness I not only saw those in Trinity library, but have likewise taken impressions of several. I met there with a groat of Henry VII with the side-face and numerals VII which gave me great pleasure, as having the mint-mark, a dog’s head, directly the same as in a groat I have of those commonly called Henry VI with the closed arch crown, and which I always said were truly of Henry VII...' (Nichols 1812-1815, vol. 5, p. 429; Burnett 2020b, p. 389)
