Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'... the Lord High Admirall [= the Earl of Pembroke], who has made noble additions to his invaluable museum, and particularly a Roman Bos of five pounds weight. There is an account of it in the new edition of Baron Spanhemius’ Numismata, which the Prussian Ambassador sent per Sir Andrew Fountain, (who, by the way, showed me his own museum, which I take to be the best in England for our own country-moneys, &c.) to desire the catalogue of my coins, which he seem’d surprised with, and took excerpta.'

(Turner 1835, pp. 96-100, letter 39; Burnett 2020b, p. 1611)
