It includes three pages of ‘An Account of the Saxon Coins found at Bath in the Foundations of the Priory [blank space] in the Possession of Mr Lord & transmitted to me by James Mundy Esqr for my inspection.’ There is also a shorter (16 pages) account of ‘Saxon Coins of James West Esqr Thursday Aug 29th 1744,’ annotated on one leaf ‘For Mr New’.'
