Anonymous Works. — Suppose a register were 

 kept. in the office of " N. & Q.," in which should 

 be entered, as furnished by correspondents, or as 

 heard of by the editor, the reputed author of any 

 anonymous work. Suppose it understood, then, 

 an entry in this list only means that it is pretty 

 generally said that so-and-so is the author of such 

 and such a work. Suppose this list to be pub- 

 lished at some stated periods in the current 

 numbers of " N. & Q. ; " the consequence would be 

 that the current notions of the time as to author- 

 ship would be faithfully preserved, instead of 

 being always dubiously, sometimes inaccurately, 

 given from memory many years after. And 

 farther, where the current report is wrong, the 

 reputed author would be able to publish a con- 

 tradiction. For this last purpose it would be 

 desirable that the list should be published at the 

 beginning, or in the first number, of each volume, 

 to increase the chance of the rumour and con- 

 tradiction appearing in the same index. In all 

 probability many rumours could be first commu- 

 nicated by the reputed author himself, accom- 

 panied by contradiction.
