Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'It is a pity Mr. Hopkinson's books, though full of errors, were not put in some public library ... If the gentlewoman [Hopkinson's sister] would lend you the coins to take the inscriptions, &c. it would be of use, though I fear there are not many choice ones. There was one Mr. Brearcliff, an apothecary in Halifax, had a great collection.' (Hunter 1830, pp. 135-7; Burnett 2020b, pp. 708, 714 n. 111)
