Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I am making it my Bussinesse to enquire after Ancient Scotch Coyns, both in Gold and Silver, and have got Severals of both Mettals which I shall send at Conveniency to M^r James Scourfield Druggist at York that he may convey them to you, as ye order. If any Saxon Pieces come in your way, or Roman Medals of Gold, Silver or Brasse, be pleased to buy them for me and I shall very thankfully repay what ye lay out for them. It is like the Country people who may happen some times to finde them may be ready to make offer of such as they chance to light on after they once know that ye will be their Merchant. This is a way whereby I have procured a good many of those in my Collection. ... Pray give my Service to Mr Lhwyd when ye write to him, Archdeacon Nicolson tels me he met with some Ancient Coyns in Cornwall and I believe he will look after such where ever he travels, and what duplicats he can bring may be bestowed at his Return.' (Bodleian Library, MS Radcliffe Trust c. 1, f.44; Burnett 2020b, p. 1543)

Abstract from EMLO: Has waited to reply" till it might be time to expect what shrubs and exotic seeds ye could best spare". Thanks R. for names of authorities in formed stones. Wishes to buy stones at reasonable rates. Is anxious to procure Dr. Lloyd's book and Dr. Leigh's. Is keen on collecting gold and silver Scotch coins and will send them to R. via a druggist in York at request. Recommends buying from country people their finds of Coins. Having himself acquired many by acting as their merchant. Asks R. for catalogue of his plants in order to compose notes. Hopes in the summer to visit the place where the sweet scented stone was found and as well to gather plant specimens there for his friends. Archdeacon Nicolson has met with ancient coins in Cornwall (He will look after such wherever he travels and will no doubt supply duplicates. Asks for news of Dr. Tharesby who has not replied to his letter. Glad he gives hopes of visiting him in Edinburgh, and asks for notice before he begins his journey.
