Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Monsr. Faucier, the French millionaire ... who does not care to talk of anything but his million, [has come from Siam]. ... Mr White, who lived among them, & who is a most curious & intelligent person, from whom I expect ten times more satisfaction. This Gentleman brought over formerly several rich and fine curiosities: [a list follows] ... Their coines are these Catte – 20 Taise, Taise – 4 Ticals, Tical – 4 mase, Mase – 2 foa, Foa – about 6d English’. (Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Smith, pp. 29-30; Burnett 2020b, p. 661)
