Excerpt from Devon Notes Queries, Vol. 1: A Quarterly Journal Devoted to the Local History Biography and Antiquities of the County of Devon
The Editors upon the completion of the first volume of Devon Notes & Queries - the publication of which has extended over two years - beg to thank very sincerely all those contributors, well wishers and subscribers, whose assistance has made the effort to establish this magazine a success.
It is very clear that the periodical meets a want, and as a medium of communication between those interested in the history and antiquities of the County, it has to a great extent realized the hopes of its promoters. That it has in some respects fallen short of what was aimed at may be true, and the Editors are well aware of sundry shortcomings, but in the establishment of a Magazine of this kind, difficulties necessarily present themselves which only time and experience can remove. A wish has been expressed by many that the issue should be more frequent, but the quarterly publication must continue, at all events for the present.
The Editors ask for continued and frequent contributions relating to the history and antiquities of the County of Devon, Notes on the Discovery of the Remains of prehistoric and later ages, its Records, Manuscripts, and Ecclesiology, Biography, Folk Lore, Dialects, and Legends, which will find a warm welcome in our pages.
