Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Mr Kenneday a Dealer in Medals came, inquiring after Dr Sorell who (he say’s) intends to Sell Dr Covels Medals this Winter: Mr Kenneday would therefore view them first, &c. I found also that he is willing to furnish my Lord with old Medals, I suppose as cheaply as he ha’s dealt by others. I shewed him that my Lord hath some already, & is partly in Treaty with Dr Sorell, although he may not intend to complete his Collection just now.' (BL, Lansdowne MS 772, f.20b; Wright - Wright 1966, vol. 2, p. 261; Burnett 2020b, p. 590)
