Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'There is a gentleman of great worth, who is collecting an history of all the coins he can find, which have been made, either ancient or modern, in England. It is the most ingenious Mr. Evelyn, who hath written so excellently his Sylva and Pomona, and lately a larger edition in folio. A nobleman hath spoke to me to afford him what assistance I can. I remember I had some few given me that were found, as I was told, by a woman feighing, in the lands belonging to a Leicestershire gentleman, who married the widow of Mr. Sunderland,— I have forgot his name and the place, but I think the estate lay towards Wetherby, and was bought of Judge Westers. I had but four, and they were of Danish and Saxon kings; but when I was robbed, since I came hither, of all the little jets, money, rings, and medals, that I had here, those were taken with the rest. I pray, therefore, enquire of all persons you can, who have any English coins, or Saxon, or Roman ones, here coined, and let me know in whose hands they are, and what you have in your own custody.' (Hunter 1832, pp. 142-6; Burnett 2020b, pp. 827, 714)
