| |Grand document='At Campden in Gloucestershire lives one Mr Ballard, a Taylor, who hath a daughter, a very pretty Girl, of about fourteen Years of Age, that hath an extraordinary Genius for Coins, & hath made an odd Collection of them. Mr Granger … saw her and speaks much of her, wch I took the more notice of because he is himself a good Judge of Coins, and hath an admirable Collection of them, especially of English ones. But, it seems, this young Girl is chiefly delighted with those that are Roman.' | | |Grand document='At Campden in Gloucestershire lives one Mr Ballard, a Taylor, who hath a daughter, a very pretty Girl, of about fourteen Years of Age, that hath an extraordinary Genius for Coins, & hath made an odd Collection of them.
