and the Editor, himself a veteran, can point
to a bodyguard that has served under most
or all of his predecessors. That he can with
absolute assurance indicate any signature as
appearing in the earliest and in the latest
volumes may not be said. There are those,
however, whose work is of frequent occur-
rence in the First and the Ninth Series, and
will, it is to be hoped and expected, be ex-
tended to that this week begun. We need
only mention LORD ALDEXHAM, MR. EDWARD
PEACOCK (under various signatures), and MR.
EVERARD HOME COLEMAN as among those
who virtually bridge over the period between
the inception of ' N. & Q.' and the point it
has now reached. So far as those at the
helm are aware, the only cause for regret
is the difficulty of stretching our pages so
as to include all of temporary or permanent
value that knocks at the door. Meantime
the imitators and descendants of 'N. & Q.'
constitute a numerous and stalwart band,
and there are few counties or districts the
folk-lore or speech of which is not in course
of being preserved and calendared.
EDITOR.
THE TENTH SERIES.
IN congratulating his readers upon the
dawn of another year and the beginning of
a fresh Series the Editor takes the oppor-
tunity of pointing to the amount of work
that has been accomplished during the fifty-
tfive years in which ' N. & Q.' has been before
the public. It is impossible to calculate how
.many busy pencils have been occupied in
making the notes which, in obedience to
the suggestion of Capt. Cuttle, have been
.crystallized in his pages, or how much
scholarship has been advantaged by the
habit of annotation which ha's been begotten.
It is now a commonplace to say that no
-serious study can often be conducted with-
out the one hundred and odd volumes of
- X. fe Q.' being constantly laid under con-
tribution. Out of the queries that have ^appeared and been answered books have -been extracted, and there are not wanting works of reference which would never have been attempted had the information pre- served in our pages been inaccessible. That the study of antiquities, like that of the law, is conducive to long life is testified by the -signatures still to be found in our pages,
MARLOWE AND SHAKESPEARE.
A CAREFUL perusal of the first sestiad of
' Hero and Leander ' reveals numerous turns
of expression out of the ordinary, many of
which were subsequentl} 7 used by Shake-
speare, and by him (usually) but once. I do
not own any edition of Marlowe's poem with
numbered lines, but the interested reader
will, I think, find little difficulty, as I have
arranged the extracts consecutively as they
occur.
