Notes and Queries

Notes and Queries is a "medium of inter-communication" for "readers and writers, collectors and librarians", published in England since the mid-19th century. The focus is primarily on English language and literature. (There is a Wikipedia article about this serial.)

Publication History

Notes and Queries began publication with the November 1849 issue. The numbering is a bit confusing, since it went through many "series" of volumes (usually 12 volumes per series). In 1924, volume numbering reset to overall numbering, with volume 146. Frequency has varied from weekly to quarterly. No issue or contribution copyright renewals were found for this serial. (More details) The serial is now published by Oxford University Press.
