Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I am sorry to hear from Dan. Dering that you have lost your Statues, medals, &c., that you had coming from Italy; tho’ on second thoughts I almost doubt whether it may be reckon’d a loss. No body purchases a Cabinet of Rarities to please himself with ye continuall sight of them, nothing in it being of any farther use to the Owner than as it entertains his friends: but I question if your Neighbours in the County of Cork wou’d relish that sort of Entertainment. To feed their Eyes with the Sight of rusty medalls and antique Statues, would (if I mistake not) seem to them something odd & insippid. The finest collection is not worth a groat where ther’s no one to admire & set a value on it & our Country seems to me the place in the World which is least furnish’d with Virtuosi.' (Luce - Jessop 1964, vol. 8, pp. 20-1, letter 2; Burnett 2020b, pp. 1049-50)
