Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'[Mr Milles] At the same time he said that most of the Coyns in the Publick Library are Duplicates, & that he formerly saw thirty Duplicates of Adrian in the Cabinet. ‘Twas ask’d him what he meant by duplicates? To wch he reply’d Coyns on which was the same Head, sufficiently showing his ignorance. He likewise was positive that Coyns were of no use in History, and that Baron Spanheim had show’d a great Deal of Learning to amuse the world on this Subject, but yt he could not see that he had prov’d what he undertook. But ‘tis to be thought Milles never read anything of his Book...' (Hearne 1885, vol. 2, p. 14; Burnett 2020b, p. 957 n. 165)
