Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'If I mistake not Mr Hesketh has told me That you are Curious in Coin. I have a good Number of Greek & Roman but cheifly ye former. The Bulk of mine came by a Legacy from Dr Yarborough a Physitian in these Parts whose Brothr was Chaplain to ye Turkey Company at Aleppo & there Collected. But thro’ want of Correspondence in this way they lie by me in a manner useless.' (BL, Harley MS 3778, f.77; Burnett 2020b, p. 617 n. 383)
