Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I take the liberty of requesting that when your leisure permits, you will take the trouble of looking at Mr. Shaw's medals, and if you find there any number of those struck by the free cities of Ancient Greece, that you will purchase for me to the amount of four or five guineas. My small collection is meant for the use of our students here, to whose inspection it is occasionally exhibited, so I wish for nothing rare or costly, but rather a good number of coins for the money I can afford, and in tolerable preservation. No coins of Greece, properly so called, or Ionia, or the Islands, can come amiss to me. As to those of Sicily or Magna Graecia, I am better provided, excepting only the three cities of Agrigentum, Crotona, and Velia. I could wish likewise to have one or two specimens of the Incusi. I am confident, Sir, that if your convenience may at all permit, you will not decline doing me the favour.' (Nichols 1817-1858, vol. 4, pp. 837-8; Burnett 2020b, p. 816)
