Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'By his will [Winchilsea] he left me his Imperial Medals, and his Sark Antiquities; – what he wrote upon them is in the possession of Mr Creyk; – whether he will publish them or not I do not know; – he has the disposal of everything; – he has promised me the refusal of the Athenian Medals, and some of the Books.' (Nichols 1817-1858, vol. 2, pp. 784-5; Burnett 2020b, pp. 1007-8)
