Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'In the mean time, I must request your picking up together such materials as your own choice treasury will afford me; such as your coins that are peculiar and proper to this part of our British world, with all such other helps as you have by you, and let me have your account and thoughts of them. If you will give yourself the trouble of noting down these matters, as they chance to fall in your way, you will undoubtedly be able to furnish me with several new and useful discoveries: for all which I shall be as truly thankful to you as the men of Gresham are or can be, though I have not the like power of making a suitable return. I had, the other day, a specimen sent me from Oxford, of some Saxon pieces which they are there publishing.' (Hunter 1832, vol. 1, pp. 309-11; Burnett 2020b, p. 868)
