Misquotation.—In the Jubilee Number of ‘N. & Q.,’ p. 362, it is thus written:—“‘You the editor of Notes and Queries!’ spoken with flattering wonder, say those who marvel ‘how one small brain could carry all he’ was supposed to know.” Where does this come from? What Goldsmith wrote in ‘The Deserted Village’ is as follows:—
While words of learned length and thundering sound
Amazed the gazing rustics ranged around;
And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew
That one small head should carry all he knew.
“Head” is so much better than “brain” that such a misquotation ought not to go uncorrected.
