-Lettre du 12 août 1742 (sans lieu): He sends P. an old English coin with a copy and explanation of the legend. It was found in a stone coffin in his cathedral. He advises P. how to seal a letter, for P. has such a «crambo» way of doubling up and sealing his letters that B. loses «half of what you write in opening it.» He praises the study of ancient medals as an agreeable part of knowledge. Of the books P. had mentioned he thinks the Addison very pretty but drawn up to display his classical learning, and lacking in substance. The other book «La science des Médailles» is an excellent introductory note. He continues on the subject of medals and coins. Folkes is referred to.
