Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'I have not seen old Smith's book de re nummaria, printed at Newcastle, but I hear 'tis a wretched Farrago or Rhapsody, and that he treats of the subject [not *] in the antiquary method, but rather as a critical arithmetician, launching out more on the value, weight, &c., than on the more noble and usefull, the Historical part. I knew him many 30 years in Oxford, but never heard that he had any skill either in coins or arithmetick.' (Hearne 1885, vol. 10, p. 167; Burnett 2020b, p. 503 n. 135)
