Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'I long to hear whether you have used any Means of procureing Ancient Medals from Abroad. I think it might be easie for the Ships that go for those places, where the Greeks and the Romans hade their habitation to enquire after them at the Country People there, who would readyly part with them for some small mater. There is no Curiositie I affect so much as Collecting those Ancient Coyns in whatever Mettall whether Gold, Silver or Brasse, and I shall be most singularly oblidged to any that can procure some of them to me at a reasonable rate, and what money may be due on that Account I shall order to be payed at London.'
