 Annotation:"Courten owned a significant collection of prints and drawings, and when the Leeds antiquary Ralph Thoresby visited Sloane in 1702, he noted that 'Mr Charleton's collection, which Dr Sloane now has, lies all in confusion as yet, and will require some time to put them in order'" (23 quoting de Beer's bio of Sloane, p. 120 n. 1).
