Excerpt from Miscellaneous Notes and Queries, 1895, Vol. 13: A Monthly Magazine of History, Folk-Lore, Mathematics, Mysticism, Art, Science, Etc

Volume XIII is completed, and we doubt whether there is another serial in the world that contains such a unique variety of scientific, recondite, and miscellaneous subjects as are contained in the thirteen volumes. Some of our patrons complain of much of the matter being a little beyond their depth. We think the major part of the volumes have drifted rather more into heavier matters than formerly.

The age in which we live is progressive and we must keep up with the new, and at times take a retrospective glance of the past. When occasion presents itself, we must pick up pearls wherever found, on Christian or on heathen ground.

We acknowledge with kind thanks the many favors received from our patrons, correspondents, book publishers, and exchanges. We shall reciprocate all such courtesies as opportunities offer.

As previously stated, we make no great promises as to the future; the harvest fields of literature are ripe, and rich in material to gather a monthly supply for a fresh repast. Correspondents are also invited to send us such gleanings as interest them, and also questions on all subjects, and in course of time we will endeavor to reply to such, or publish them for wiser heads.

We wish the work were better done, but in these depressed times much of it has to be done as knitting-work between the dark and the daylight.
