Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'At Campden in Gloucestershire lives one Mr Ballard, a Taylor, who hath a daughter, a very pretty Girl, of about fourteen Years of Age, that hath an extraordinary Genius for Coins, & hath made an odd Collection of them. Mr Granger … saw her and speaks much of her, wch I took the more notice of because he is himself a good Judge of Coins, and hath an admirable Collection of them, especially of English ones. But, it seems, this young Girl is chiefly delighted with those that are Roman.'
(Hearne 1885, vol. 9 pp. 185-6; Burnett 2020b, p. 1303)
