Note 37 — JOSEPH-MARIE QUÉRARD.
Reading edition
In Notes and Queries, may it live long and prosperous, some very ridiculous signatures have been from time to time adopted. One gentleman indulges in the following:—“Thinks I to myself,” to the great discomfort of all autonyms. A table of pseudonyms, and the real names of the writers in this useful little journal, would be more than curious and interesting; it would make many notes authoritative. We wish the editor could be encouraged to reveal the pseudonyms, if only of the first and second series.
