The wheels of times have again completed a revolution, and to one and all the past year has been a remarkable one, both in a mental and physical point of view. All nations of the earth have met at an important center in the American nation and paid their respects to each other and become better acquainted. This is one of the greatest events in the history of the whole world, a step toward peace with all nations. Literature has been extended in all its departments, and mankind are becoming more and more enlightened and intelligent. Bryant says: "Knowledge is the material with which Genius builds her fabrics. The greater its abundance, the more power is required to dispose it into order and beauty, but the more vast and magnificent will be the structure." Knowledge is just like the sun in the heavens, inviting us to noble deeds, and lighting our path. Every department of trade, art, science, language, commerce, etc., has its organ and exponent. But we know of but one periodical on this continent that at present has the field to receive and answer such question that will always arise in all classes of literature, and that is NOTES AND QUERIES. It has maintained the even tenor of its way for eleven years, and is ready to commence its twelfth volume for 1894. We doubt if there is in existence another such series of volumes, containing such a variety of subjects of so peculiar a nature. The index to this volume like its predesessors shows a very large range of subjects that have been mentioned, discussed and enlarged upon. And yet our stock awaiting is even now large. Future volumes will contain much that has scarcely been mentioned heretofore. The first twelve-month volumes were less than two hundred pages each, while this last annual volume numbers three hundred pages. We hope at the close of the next volume to publish a complete inpex to the then twelve volumes. Our kind thanks are hereby expressed to our many contributors and patrons, many of whom have continued from the first volume. S. C. & L. M. GOULD, Publishers. MANCHESTER. N. H., December, 1893.
