I’m glad I could be of help – sorry about the UK / US difference. Keep up the good work – Ad Fontes as the Reformers said!

Thank you very much for this!

In step 3, when I choose “full view only”, all the “notes and queries” disappear and I end up with a page full of “Macbeth – p160″ and the like.

This must be the effect of the Google block on non-US readers. If I repeat via a US proxy, a more normal result appears, and the rest of the steps work.

Interesting: even the searches don’t work properly for non-US readers!

1. Open Google Book search at http://books.google.com/books.
2. Type notes and queries and click search.
3. When you see Notes and Queries in the results, click “Full view only” in the “Showing” drop-down box.
4. click “More editions” underneath the book. This should generate a new page with text already in the search box. Something like “editions:0Q9299xCkhUyifUq9A”.
5. Type “skulls of priests” with a space before it after the text:
editions:0Q9299xCkhUyifUq9A skulls of priests
6. Click Search Books.
7. This *should* give you the result at the top of your list.

I can’t reproduce what you did. Would you spell it out in more detail so I can step through it? How did you find “notes and queries”? Where is the “More editions”? What was the “bunch of weird text” and where?

I found Notes and Queries and then clicked “More editions.” That generated a new search window with a bunch of weird text. I tacked on the phrase “skulls of bishops” to the end of it and presto, it came up!

How on earth did you find that? I clearly don’t know something, for I looked and looked. Thank you!

I believe that this is the vol. iv reference:
