Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'I am drawing together such chapters of my Scotch Library as will most want the inspection and censure of my friends in that kingdome.... I thought I had made my account of their coins so complete that ’twas hardly possible to discover any antient pieces which were omitted; and yet Mr Sutherland (in a letter which I received from him last week) saies he has seen a gold coin of James the Fifth, since I left him, which is about the weight of a bonnet piece, but different in stamp from all that are in his excellent collection. He promises me a more particular description in his next.' (Thoresby 1912, pp. 97-8; Burnett 2020b, p. 906 n. 194)
