Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'His name is Prescot, the Register of Chester. …I have seen his Coins my self which He has been 30 years at least in Collecting, he lives in a Place where many are Found. I believe he has some that are rare and I hope he will Communicate to you, & the Other Editors of Camden &c. his Observations upon Them. I doubt not but they will be acceptable to the Publick, he being a Gent. of great reputation for his Skill in Coins, and his Knowledge of Roman History.' (Burnett 2020b, p. 724)
