Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'My Friend, Thomas Rawlinson, Esq., in his last Letter to me, wch I receiv’d on Saturd., July 31st last, told me that Mr Ainsworth of Hackney is a Medalist, they say, and may be more. …This Mr Ainsworth is a very old Man …It seems, he is sort of a Schoolmaster in Hackney… He drew up and published a Catalogue in Latin (8vo) of Mr Kemps’s Rarities, a great Number of which were Counterfeits. I have heard that Mr Ainsworth, tho’ he understands the History of Medals tolerably well, yet he knows not how to distinguish genuine ones from such as are counterfeit. In the said Catalogue, I am told, for I have not examin’d it, is something De Asse, written by Mr John Ward, Professor of Rhetorick in Gresham College. Which, perhaps, may be the same Tract that I have separately upon the same Subject, written by the same Mr Ward, as Mr Bruce told me.'
