Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'Under these circumstances of life, I do not much trouble my selfe with those amusements I before took perhaps too much pleasure in : yet as I intend both my books & coins for one of the public libraries in Oxford, where I hope they may be of more use to others than they have been to my selfe, I am willing to make my Collection of both as perfect as I can : & I have succeeded pretty well in my endeavours in both. I began late to purchase our English money yet have a perfect suite, & a tolerable large one, both for gold & silver, from King Edw. 1st to the present times. I want only two Kings Coins, Rich. IId & Edw. Vth of whom I believe there is nothing to be had, & I question whether ever any money was struck by him. Indeed from William the Conqueror (where I begin) to Edward Ist I have very little so that everything in that period would be very acceptable to me. I would willingly purchase anything you can procure within that space, or of King Richard IId afterwards.' (Lukis 1882-1887, vol. 1, pp. 217-19; Burnett 2020b, p. 409)
