Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'very sensible of ... its many defects, that as I obstructed the Progresse of the Printer, for two yeares; so would I with all my heart have withdrawn my Copy, could I have don it, without Injury to the Book-seller, who had ben at Charges for the Sculps.' (Chambers - Galbraith 2014, pp. 1145-6, letter 807; Dykes 2018a, p. 132; Burnett 2020b, p. 831 n. 88)
