Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'one of the Honest Priests ask’d me if I would look at their Gallery they are two Brothers, both Priests, ye Heirs to the late ingenious collector who was a Priest also, of very good family. The notion of which Gallery I smil’d at, but great was my astonishment at entering on seeing such an unexpected Collection, near 600 of the finest modern Medals whatever, about 1000 Antique, a vast number of other curiositys, a place never seen by any of our Travellers as none ever stops there even to see many fine paintings, in yt melancholy, though once noted Town, so poor, and such protection does learning receive that a Seminary wou’d have purchas’d ym but cant afford a little more yn two hundred pounds st, this shall seize upon although there is a monstrous Duty of £15 pr cent.' (Russell 2004, pp. 219-20; Burnett 2020b, p. 1074)
