Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'When I received your last letter, I was most ravishingly entertained with the perusal of some papers which my Lord Archbishop had sent me, of his own composing, touching our English coins; and which, his Grace was pleased to acquaint me, he designed to communicate to you as soon as I had done with them. I suppose by this time they are with you: and I need not recommend them to your reading. I am sure they gave me that satisfaction which I thought was nowhere to be had. I have corrected my last chapter by them, and am now sending up the last part of my Library, to be disposed of as my friend Gibson thinks fit.' (Hunter 1832, vol. 1, pp. 347-8; Burnett 2020b, pp. 867 n. 343, 894)
