Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'I wish that Mr West, when he was at Cambridge, had remembered to ask them about, and to have got a sight of the Box of ancient coyns and medals of great value mentioned by me in §13 of my Preface to the Curious Discourses to have been given to that Univ. Library by Dr Andrew Pern. Had he seen these, he might have noted whether there were among them any of the nummi ratiti wch were less than those that had the rostra navis on the Reverse, & on the obverse a Janus. All these sort of Coins are scarce, but nothing near so scarce as the Tenedia, the obverse of wch were somewhat like the Figures on the obverse of the Roman Asses.' (Hearne 1885, vol. 9, p. 301; Burnett 2020b, p. 382 n. 21)
