Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I am exceedingly indebted to you for these last coins also; and am wonderfully pleased to find so many among them that relate to the old kingdom of Northumberland. I have some prospect of retrieving part of the (almost) lost history of that ancient kingdom ... And, in an Appendix, I hope to have a pretty good collection of such British and Roman antiquities as have escaped the notice of Mr. Camden and others. ... I was in haste when I wrote my letter, and have opened it again to tell you that I have nothing at all to add to your notes on the coins you sent. I should hardly, without your assistance, have been able to make any thing of some of them. But I am abundantly satisfied that your reading, in all of them, is very right.' (Hunter 1832, vol. 1, pp. 116-17; Burnett 2020b, pp. 868, 898 n. 124, 903 n. 169)
