Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I afterwards took coach with Mr. Roberts and Dr. Pratt (the Duke of Ormondes Chaplain) to Sir Andrew Fountain's, who, according to appointment, conducted us to the Lord High Admiral's [the Earl of Pembroke], who entertained us most agreeably with the view of his most noble collection of Greek and Roman medals, much enlarged since I saw it before, and particularly his Excellency has procured a Roman Bos, which weighs five pounds of their monies. It is quadrangular; on the one side has the figure of an ox; the other side is worn like a honeycomb with its extreme age (I have since seen the draught of it in Baron Spanhemius's new edition of his Nuraismata, &c.); his Lordship has also a set of the Roman weights, and the most rare coins that ever I saw; amongst others, one with three heads upon an oblong square, jet minted as the lesser round ones. It is incomparably the best collection in the nation, if not the universe, and his Lordship was particularly kind to me, and more respectful than is usual, condescending to me (as a countryman, I presume) shaking me by the hand in a most familiar manner, desiring to see me whenever Ishould come to town, &c.' (Hunter 1830, vol. 2, pp. 34-5; Burnett 2020b, p. 1013)
