Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'Walked ... to the ingenious Sir Andrew Fountain’s who showed me ... above all, his admirable collection of medals, Greek, Roman, Saxon, and Norman, that, though by his letter to me, when he wrote the dissertation in Dr Hick’s Thesaurus, it appears that mine was then the completest nest of any in England, yet, by his industry and vast expense (advancing half-a-crown for every Saxon penny that could be got, as the Bishop of Carlisle gave me notice in his letter) he has raised one much superior, both in number and value, of which I hope he will oblige the world with a particular description, it being absolutely the completest that ever I saw relating to the ancient coins and later monies of this nation, he having Philip, as styled King of England after Queen Mary’s death, and not only Oliver, but Commonwealth half-crown and one shilling, as well as sixpence, of all the milled monies which was absolutely the first of that kind in this country.'
