I receivd by y^e Hands of Mr March y^e Medal ΦΑΙΣΤΙΩΝ. It may probaly be rare, but I want Skill in Town Pieces, having had no Experience in ’em, & especially when they bear no Inscrip’ they are such dry Food y^t I can’t tast ’em for I have no Book. By y^e ''Keat'' (?) Galley I forwarded to you (according to yo^r Co’mand) some of y^e best of a great deal of bad Stuff \from this market/; To say y^e Truth I was almost ashamd of it but considering y^t it was to be disposd of, it might possibly answer your Purpose. I have since found ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΩΝ ΠΡΩΤΗΣ, ab^t 5^d, w^ch shall go by M^r March & any Thing else y^t offers. I am obligd to you for yo^r kind Profer of a Catalogue & directions for y^e Colony Medals. But to say y^e Truth I have no Hope or design of giving y^m any disturbance, since I shall probably never meet wth a Competent Number of y^e Coyns. My Bro^r Owen bidds much fairer to become a great Proficient in this Science yⁿ my self. I find he gains considerably in his Progressions, but I am sure M^r Paul Lucas has taught him to pay too dear for his Curiosity. I cannot see any Thing in that catalogue to be worth more than y^e Valuation you putt upon it & indeed according to my way of Estimating & Purchasing Medals, I could not have raisd it quite so high. I hope my Bro^r will have y^e Happiness of meeting you at Smirna, because tis what I know he earnestly desires. I am glad to hear you desire to leave some of yo^r Books to him to encourage this study, I hope to reap some Benefit fro’ them. The departure of his Excellence seems at p’sent to be a little at a stand so I hope we shall have yo^r Company till Spring. I have been much indispos’d of late w^th a Fever, w^ch is at last converted into an Ague. So y^t I much entreat you to place to y^e Acco^t of Sickness & disorder y^t w^ch may otherwise look like Negligence. Pardon this Confusion, & believe me to be w^th all possible Respect<br> S^r<br> Y^r very obligd & humble Serv^t<br> W Cross<br> To the Worshipful W^m Sherard<br> Esq^r Consul for his Majesty<br> of Great Britain<br> At<br> Smirna<br> R Aug 9 1716<br> Answ Sept 8' (Royal Society, MS 252/119; Burnett 2020b, pp. 1523-4) 14441 MS 252/119 English Burnett 2020b, pp. 1523-4, 621 roman provincial coin price 14441 William Crosse - William Sherard - 1716-07-31 Pera Correspondence.png 2023-08-01T10:20:09Z 2460157.9306597 2023-11-20T16:54:48Z 2460269.2047222 false William Crosse - William Sherard - 1716-07-31 0 0 plainlist leaflet 1 [[:William Crosse - William Sherard - 1716-07-31]] William Crosse - William Sherard - 1716-07-31# QUERY803cddd329da3e39a8bc49dd4c65afc2 0 0 csv 1 [[:William Crosse - William Sherard - 1716-07-31]] William Crosse - William Sherard - 1716-07-31# QUERYa90a2ae325675866c02c759e9c93e81e
