Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I have in my traveling Album, togeth^r with y^e Autographs of y^e famous Spanhemius (who was surprized with y^e Cat. of my Coins, & took excerpta of some rare ones) who resides in y^e same Quality from y^e King of Prussia, Sr Isaac Newton, & many other Learned Authors.'

Continued summary from Hearne 1885: Carried up the additions and emendations for the new ed. of Gibson's Camden. The Bp. of Carlisle told him that the coin mentioned by H. is in the new ed. of Occo and Mediobarbus. Remarks on Burgdunum and Burdenhead. Autographs received from Sir A. Fountaine. Dr. Hickes has perused his MS. topography, and gives him great encouragement.
