Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I took that opportunity to send you one of the siege pieces coined, I think, from the Bishop of Tournay’s plate, in the late siege of that town by Monsieur de Surville commander of it. It is a livre, or twenty sols piece; it is wrapped in a paper in one of the Transactions.' (Hunter 1832, vol. 2, pp. 273-4; Burnett 2020b, p. 1125 n. 87)
