Where did words, customs and half-forgotten stories really come from? Notes And Queries: A Medium of Intercommunication for Literary Men, General Readers, Tenth Series (Volume XII) gathers the questions and discoveries of a remarkable reading public into one classic English literary miscellany. First published as a renowned English literature periodical and literary research journal, it became the meeting place for scholars, collectors and curious amateurs tracing sources, variants and traditions. Each page invites curious minds. Anecdotes sit beside precise citations; obscure allusions are patiently unravelled; traces of lost books, rumours and sayings are pinned down for future generations. Rich in literary history and criticism, and in language and etymology studies, this volume preserves contemporary voices as they puzzle over 19th century British literature, earlier classics and the living speech of Victorian and Edwardian England. Its historical and cultural notes form an informal antiquarian reference collection and a superb resource for history researchers, while remaining a welcoming reference for literary scholars and general readers alike. Together these pages form a living Victorian literary periodicals anthology, capturing how knowledge was debated, corrected and shared in print. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Meticulously reproduced from the original, this heritage edition offers both an engaging armchair browse and a foundational tool for libraries, students of English studies and anyone building a serious collection of classic English literary miscellanies.
