Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Two posts ago, Mr Professor Ward (inter alia) advised us of Mr Folks having, through his diligence in searching the Cottonian library, been so fortunate as to discover the coines published by Speed, supposed, in the Report of the Committee of the House of Commons, to have been lost in the fire of Ashburnham house in 1731; whereof that judicious Gent will make good use in the types he is publishing to his accurate tables’. (Burnett 2020b, p. 180)
