"Notes and Queries" in Holland. 



The following extremely interesting, and, we need 

 scarcely add, to us most gratifying, cominimication 

 reached us at too late a period last week to admit of 

 our then laying it before our friends, readers, and con- 

 trihutors. They will one and all participate in our 

 pratiKcatioii at the proof which it ailbrds, not merely 

 of that success which they have all comhined to secure, 

 but of the good working, and consequent wide exten- 

 sion, of that great principle of literary brotherhood 

 which it has been the great object of " Notes and 

 QuEKiEs" tu establish. 



To the Editor of " Notes and Queries." 



Mr. Editor, 



We have the pleasure of sending you the pro- 

 spectus of " De Navorscher," a new Dutch peri- 

 odical, grounded upon the same principle as its 

 valuable and valiant predecessor, "Notes and 

 Queries." The title, when transLated into En- 

 glish, would be — "The Searcher; a medium of 

 intellectual exchange nndliterurij iiderconrse between 

 all who know something, have to ask something, or 

 can solve something" If it be glorious for you to 

 have proposed a good example, we think it honour- 

 able for us to follow it. 



Though we do not wish to be our own trumpets, 

 we can say that never a Dutch newspaper was 

 greeted, before its appearance, by such favourable 

 prognostics. Your idea, Mr. Editor, was received 

 with universal applause; and Mr. Frederik 

 ]\Iuller, by whom " De Navorscher" will be 

 published, is not only a celebrated bookseller, but 

 also one of our most learned bookmen. 



Keady to f>romo(e by every means in our power 

 the friendly intercourse between your country and 

 our fatherhind, we desii-e of you to lay the follow- 

 ing plan betijre the many readers of " Notes and 

 Queries " 



1. Every Query, which, promulgated by our 

 English sister, would pei'haps find a solution whru 

 meeting the eyes oi Dutch readers, will be trans- 

 lated for them by her foreign brother. MVe 

 promise to send you a version of the eventual 

 answers. 



2. Of Queries, divulged in "De Navorscher," 

 and likely to be answered if translated for the 

 British readers of "Notes and Querif.s," a ver- 

 sion will be presented by us to the sister-peri- 

 odical. 



3. The title of Books or Odd Volumes \y anted 

 to purchase, of which copies may e.xlst in the 

 Netherlands, will be duly inserted into "De 

 Navorschur" when retiuired. Mr. Frkdioriic 

 MuLLER will direct his letlcr.^ coulaining par- 

 ticulars ami lowest price, to the persons an.xious 

 for information. 



4. All communications for "Dn Navorscher" 

 must be addressed to Mr. D. NuiT, Bookseller, 



Vol. III.— No. 66.
