Excerpt from Queries and Answers
The names of none of the querists are given, because the same question had been asked by different persons so many times in almost the same words that it would be disappoint ing to many who had asked the question to find the name of some one else signed to it. In such cases justice could not be done without giving the names of all who had asked the question, which in some instances would require the giving of as many as fifty names.
In regard to arrangement, I have been very careful to put the matter in such a form as to make it easy for the reader to locate any information given. To this end, it was decided, after much thought, to put it in the form of an encyclopedia.
