Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'The things we want in our said Library are such as these, Books, Prints, Medals & Pictures. I am very sensible of the great Collection you have of most of these. ...Of Medalls, we already have a great Collection, yet it is capable of receiving large Additions, we have room for Coins of any sort, either old or new, of any Metal, Size, Prince or Place.' (Wanley 1989, pp. 30-2; Burnett 2020b, pp. 427, 1237-8)
