Notes
A higher salary is needed to attract the best engravers. A collection of ancient and modern medals and other designs should be housed in the engravers' office. Engravers and probationers should be given time to study at the 'Academy of Drawing and Embossing att Paris'.||Another copy in PRO, T1/192, no. 75: on the reverse of this is a Treasury minute on the appointment [presumably re-appointment] of John Croker as senior engraver, dated 25 October 1715.
