'Yesterday Mr Solley, an acquaintance of yours, and a great traveller, dined with Lord Hartford. The Bishop of Salisbury has presented him to Preshutt Vicarage; this was his first day of his coming here. I think he is a very ingenious man; he has a Collection of Antient Medals, which I will see when I am in town.' (Nichols 1817-1858, vol. 2, p. 772; Burnett 2020b, p. 626)
