Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I visited Mr Folks, who showed me his model of Stonehenge, which he made in mahogany wood from my ground plot. ’Tis very correctly done. Lord Sandwich dined with us. We looked over part of Lord Pembroke’s fine collection of Roman coyns, the large brasse. Mr Folks is reducing them to proper order, and correcting the prints of them, made by Seignr. Haym, in my lord’s lifetime. The brass Otho which my lord bought of Seignr. Starbini is an Antiochene, S.C. in a civic garland, on the reverse.'

(Lukis 1882-1887, vol. 1 p. 274; Burnett 2020b, p. 1579)
