Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Dr. Richard Richardson writes me word (in a Letter from North Bierley in Yorkshire, of the 5th instant) that he received mine of Oct. 11th, which (as far as he can informe himselfe) was the day that Mr. Thoresby dyed. For some time before his death, he had lost the use of his right side in a great measure, which disabled him from writing, and his distemper had so far affected his head that he was capable of very litle buisiness. His Muse'um remains still in the same state he left it, his eldest Son (who is a Clergyman, and preferred in the South by the Bishope of London [Gibson]) is not yet come into the Country. 'Tis believed that the Bishope of London will have the disposall of his Collection. The most valuable part of it is his Medalls, which are chiefly Romane and Saxon, and a good Collection of English Coyns, & occasionall Medalls from the Conquest to this time. His Bookes are also valuable & prety numerous ; and, indeed, it is not to be wonder'd at, since the foundation of this Collection was my Lord Fairfaxe's Medalls & his Library, which were purchased by Mr. Thoresby's father, to both which there have since been made considerable additions. If Dr. Richardson can learn any certainty of the disposall of that Collection, he promises to acquaint me. He says he hath met with nothing in Antiquity lately worth communicating to me. If in any thing he can serve me, he says, I may be assured of a friend in him.' (Hearne 1885, vol. 9, p. 56; Burnett 2020b, p. 874 n. 181)
