Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'[Mr Kent] told me yt the Lady Franklin to whom he is Chaplain has a daughter who has a Noble Collection (abt 300 in number) of Roman Coyns; but yt she dispos’d to give them to Trinity College in Cambridge, of wch House she had some time since a Brother a member, & yt she has no inclination at present, chiefly for yt reason, to give them to our Publick Library: but nevertheless hopes to prevail wth her, at least to give us such as we want, provided we will part wth duplicates for ym.
[footnote:] These Coyns I have had since a view of, being put into my hands by Mr John Thompson ... who succeeded Mr Kent as Chaplain to the Lady. He committed them to me on purpose that I might describe them; wch accordingly I did. ... The Coyns are of no great worth, being very much defaced.'
