Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'In the mean while, what you mention of my Lord Archbishop’s [Sharp] critical observations, with the Archdeacon’s [Nicolson] chapter on the English coins and money, must be highly acceptable to the curious. ... My poor book is not of that importance as to be worth its carriage: it lies therefore to be delivered to any friend of your’s, or other direction. The medal of General Monk, (as well as of others,) is indeed wanting, not through my neglect, but that after much diligent inquiry I could not procure them in any time, and when I needed them.' (Hunter 1832, vol. 1, p. 358; Burnett 2020b, pp. 828 n. 73, 870 n. 163)
