Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I have (according to my method in' every great city where I have made any stay,) got acquainted with the most famous bookseller. This person has a cabinet, that he calls Christina queen of Sweden's; but it might have been the empress Livia's for the richness of its materials. It is all silver gilt and enamelled, where it is not covered with agates, precious stones, intaglios, and cameos. Besides this, he has many other single curiosities of the same sort, with a vast quantity of medals and coins, relating to modern history, and some very good pictures.' (Bingley 1805, vol. 3, pp. 4; Burnett 2020b, p. 1055 n. 417)
