Synopsis
Excerpt from Choice Notes From Notes and Queries
ON the completion of the First Series of notes and queries, it was suggested from many quarters, that a selection of the more curious articles scattered through the twelve volumes would be welcome to a numerous body of readers. It was said that such a selection, judiciously made, would not only add to a class of books of which we have too few in English literature, - we mean books of the pleasant gossiping character of the French ana for the amusement of the general reader, - but would serve in some measure to supply the place of the entire series to those who might not possess it.
It has been determined to carry out this idea by the publication of a few small volumes, each de voted to a particular subject. The first, which is here presented to the reading world, is devoted to History: and we trust that whether the reader looks at the value of the original documents here reprinted, or the historical truths here established, he will be disposed to address the book in the words of Cowper.
