Here is a dandy of a quote from Charloner talking to Thomas Carter, a fellow counterfeiter, and paid informant for Newton. It also shows us some interesting spelling from that era. What Levenson did very well in.

The word has gained currency in the past 10 years. The currency comes from disputes over works of art, which grab headlines with art prices soaring and prominent people often holding the works in question. Provenance clea...
