Excerpt from Notes and Queries, Vol. 2: A Medium of Intercommunication for Literary Men, General Readers, Etc.; July-December, 1886

The Oxford picture mentioned by Addison and Anderson's lilliputian liturgy naturally bring to one's remembrance the old saying of the Iliad in a nutshell. Pickering's diamond edition of Homer (1831) contains both the Iliad and the Odyssey,' and this would, I should say, certainly go into a large cocoa-nut shell. The book is beautifully, and, so far as I am able to judge, very correctly printed, but it is almost useless for all practical purposes. It is only useful for occasional reference, as one would require a magnifying-glass to read It for fifteen minutes consecutively.
