Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'I have also these two or three years last been a-collecting medals: the Roman Imperial are those which I most search after. I have, after a great deal of labour and expence, procur’d about three hundred. I have one hundred of copper of the first magnitude, which are very fair and well preserv’d: these I vallue much. I have a series from Julius to Pertinax, without any breach, except in Otho; so that, when I am diverting myself with my medals and fossils, I am always a-wishing I had but a Siccus Hortus, – and then I imagine I should have a pretty Museum, and much more compleat. … but, after all, you must know I have not any amongst my fossils or medals that I look upon as exceeding valuable.'
(Turner 1835, pp. 355-8 letter 143; Burnett 2020b, p. 1280)
