Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'... pray let me know if ye have got these Roman Medals ye was expecting, and what they are, or if you have got any of the Saxon pieces that were found at Newport, Glasgow as also what other Curiosities ye have lately met with.
When I was with him I knew not Mr Fountain’s Design so perfectly as I afterwards understood it from his own Letter. I have now (as I had Mr F by this post) begg’d what assistance his Treasure will afford us. I am only concern’d to think that, if these Tables of Coins must be added to the Septentrional Grammars, it will be a long while before that Book is finish’d. I am (I assure you) already call’d on by the Subscribers in this and the Neighbouring Countries; and I know not whSuperscript textt Apology to make for my self, so if you do not enable me to give them some fresh assurances that they shall have their Books very shortly. ‘Tis a good while since you told me that the first Alphabet was printed as far as the letter O.'
