Diary of Simonds D'Ewes, 10 June 1646: 'circa Numismata ante pradium cum Levingstono, a quo antea Numismata emeram & et plurima quae noviter emeram valde admiratus est ob elegantiam, magnitudinem et asperitatem.'

[on coins before dinner with Livingstone, from whom I had previously bought coins and who greatly admired the many coins which I had recently bought for their elegance, size and sharp condition]
