Peculiar and I once talked of posting about the things the Internet had failed to find for us. One of them was a reference in Jane Austen's letters to a Dr. Syntax and a Gogmagoglicus. Now, Dr. Syntax was easy enough to find (exercise left for the reader--but if anyone finds the page of prints we did, and speaks Dutch, please let us know what the Hollander is saying. Something something swindles something, yes?), but Gogmagoglicus escaped all search engines with lithesome ease. Now, however, we seem to have, if not the reference, at least a clue. Link via Natalie Solent, who really does have a brain like a planet.
