This chapter is not translated yet. You are reading the original.
Notes and Queries was the mid-19th century equivalent of an antiquarian newsgroup. It fulfilled the needs of the legions of amateur early Victorian enthusiasts in many fields: the etymology of words, the origin on local customs, the meaning of heraldic emblems; it was also (as the title suggests) a medium of intercommunication between the growing number of professional writers in these fields.
That was the first chapter. Sign in and the reader keeps your place on every device, and learns what you know: what you looked up comes back, what you knew makes room for something new.
