Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Mr. Hearne’s books, coins, &c., came into the hands of Dr. Bedford, &, after his death, to George Smith, Esq., of Durham; but if I am not mistaken the late Dr. Rawlinson got the coins, either by gift or purchase; & James West, Esq., I think, has got all the plates belonging to Mr. Hearne’s works. If Dr. R. had the coins, I suppose you may get a sight of them from the executors.'

(Lukis 1882-1887, vol. 1 pp. 410; Burnett 2020b, p. 1258)
