Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'I have returned the OTHO by Mr. Harry Revely to Mr. Collins, to whom he promist to deliver it as he passed through Stanford, but have not yet heard of the receit of this treasure. I fancy the severe weather may have retarded their journey. I wish it had been shown to Mr. Folks before it was sent from London; I dare say he would have concurred with us in opinion about it. I must own I could not discover how the letters had been altered, though they appeared very ill proportioned, as IMP : OTHO not usual in those times. I have an anecdote of Baron Spanheim's, wherein he damns all the brasse OTHOS except the Antiochene, with a laurel about the head, & S : C : in a corolla on the reverse. Baron Clerk wrote to me about 6 months ago that he had gott one with an allocutio on the reverse, undoubtedly genuin, or if a counterfeit as old as the time of Valentinian, being found with severall of that Emperor’s coins then lately near Edenborough; but if it was the only one discovered there of the high Empire, I cannot but have a strong suspicion of its being foisted in among the others.'
