Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'The Duke of Devonshire has the finest collection of intaglios and medals of any man in England, and scruples not any price for such as are curious, though his judgment in them is very indifferent. Lord Pembroke’s taste is in ancient busts, statues and curious drawings, though he has likewise a collection of medals, but these last are only curious for the perfectness of the heads. The Duke is preferable for the number and rarity of the reverses.' (Perceval 1923, p. 33; Burnett 2020b, pp. 997, 1050 n. 376)
