QUERIES AND REQUESTS. 



Wilts Bibliography. 

 With a view to collecting- materials for the Bibliography of the 

 County, Members of the Society and others interested in the 

 subject are requested to send notices of (1) any boohs or pamphlets 

 bearing on Wiltshire in any way, (2) booh or pamphlets of any 

 kind written by Wiltshiremen, which may come under their 

 notice, to Mr. C. W. Holgate, Palace, Salisbury ; or the 

 Rev. E. H. Goddard, Clyffe Vicarage, Wootton Bassett. In the 

 case of scarce books or pamphlets the title page should be 

 accurately transcribed in full, and the size of the book and 

 number of pages given. Cuttings from Booksellers' Catalogues 

 are also desired. 



Wilts Dialect. 

 Mr. G. E. Dartnell, Abbottsjield, Salisbury, and the Rev. E. H. 

 Goddard, Clyffe Vicarage, Wootton Bassett, would be greatly 

 obliged if Members interested in the dialect of the county 

 would send them notes of any Wiltshire words not already 

 noted in " Contributions tozoards a Wiltshire Glossary," in Nos. 

 76, 77, and 80 of the Magazine. 



Notes on Local Archeology and Natural History. 

 The Editor of the Magazine asks Members in all parts of the county 

 to send him short concise notes of anything of interest, in the 

 way of either Archaeology or Natural History, connected with 

 Wiltshire, for insertion in the Magazine. 



Churchyard Inscriptions. 

 The Rev. E. H. Goddard would be glad to hear from anyone who 

 is willing to take the trouble of copying the whole of the in- 

 scriptions on the tombstones in any churchyard, with a view to 

 helping in the gradual collection of the tombstone inscriptions 

 of the county. Up to the present, about 35 churches and 

 churchyards have been completed or promised. 



The English Dialect Dictionary. — Help needed. 

 Professor Joseph Wright, of Oxford, appeals for help from those 

 interested in philological studies, in reading and " slipping " 

 Glossaries and books containing dialect words, in order that 

 the work may be sufficiently advanced to enable him to begin 

 the task of editing the enormous mass of material — weighing 

 about one ton — which has been accumulating for the last twenty 

 years. The Dictionary is to cover entirely different ground from 

 that of Murray's " New English Dictionary," being confined 

 strictly to non-literary English. Anyone willing to help may 

 obtain full information from Professor J. Wkight, 6, Norham 

 Road, Oxford ; or G. E. Dartnell, Esq., Abbottsjield, Stratford 

 Road, Salisbury.
