Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I am almost asham’d to tell you of an unfortunate piece of negligence I have been guilty of. I carried my best [med]dals w^th me to Rome in an ordinary mony bag without any [c]are in y^e packing them so y^t y^e jolting of y^e chaise has so rubd [t]hem one against another y^t many of them are quite spoild & y^e rest have losy y^e enerable rust of Antiquity & appear t[o] be arrant brass. However, such as they are, I show’d some of them to fficaroni who has given me a much better opinion of them than I had before; for I find y^t Greek Coins are more rare & more esteem’d among y^e Virtuosi of Italy than y^e Imperial ones: & whe[n[ I look’d over y^e Grand Duke’s Collection, it as some comfort to me to see y^t y^e addition of some w^ch I have woud have made it more perfect.' (Royal Society, MS 253/299; Burnett 2020b, p. 623)
