Excerpt from Miscellaneous Notes and Queries, 1894, Vol. 12: A Monthly Magazine of History, Folk-Lore, Mathematics, Mysticism, Art, Science, Etc As we glance over the former volumes, in compiling some indexes for economy of time, in references, we can readily see where certain articles might have been better done but again, we must remember that experience is the best schoolmaster. A publication of this character has many readers whose tastes vary greatly, and each has more or less choice for literary food. We have endeavored to furnish a good variety of subjects in almost every department of secular, sacred, and secret thought. This publication may be said to be, as Shelley says, A chronicle of strange, sacred, secret, and forgotten things.
