Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'A catalogue of Harley's English coins from ancient Britain to Charles II. Labelled ‘M.S.S. ENGLISH COINS’ on the spine. Wanley passed quickly over the ancient British: ‘British Gold. Here are about Ten or a Dozen Pieces so called or Reputed: most of which I rather take to be old Spanish; and shall now wave the description of them, untill more help arrive’s, both of coins & Books’ (!). Some of it—maybe this was the only part he completed—was ready by August 1725, as shown by Wanley's diary entry for 3 August 1725' (Burnett 2020b, p. 1037 n. 260)
