Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'I am glad you are continually adding to your collection of coins. ... I wish others were of the same curious disposition with yourself, that we might, by that means, have not only a noble addition to Camden, but a perfect collection of the Roman coins, in a new edition of Occo, carrying on by a friend and an acquaintance of mine [John Masson]. as he told me about four years since; in which, I believe, he will likewise take care to add as complete a collection as he can of the Greek coins. I wish he may be able to procure a sight of the collections of Morell, which are prodigious, he being a oan of a natural genius to this sort of learning, and of a most indefatigable industry' (Hunter 1832, vol. 2, pp. 135-9; Burnett 2020b, pp. 872, 984)
