Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'I congratulate you upon the curious discoveries you have obtaind by the Mahometan Priest that was brought over from the West Indies, upon the medals of the Chalifs, & upon Amulets, which is a very puzzling matter. ... [I have] applied myself to the Translation of Weights, Measures of Mr Arbuthnot that has been desired of me.' (BL, Sloane MS 4053, f.285; Burnett 2020b, pp. 501 n. 122, 667 n. 169)
