Captain Cuttle's Mailbag

History, Folklore and Victorian Pedantry from the Pages of 'Notes and Queries'

Sally Madden et al , Ed. Edward Welch , Illus. Matt Wiegle
The weekly issues of Notes and Queries were the Victorian equivalent of today’s online forums, a vital research tool for ‘literary men, artists, antiquaries, genealogists, etc.’ This selection from the magazine’s First Series (1849–55) covers such varied topics as bookselling, curious wills and epitaphs, the voracity of the hedgehog – and the English habit of ‘profane swearing’.
