Apologies for an off-topic question.
 My newspaper needs to know:
Where did the phrase "ink-stained wretch"
 originate?
Google has been no help.

You could try the
Stumpers-L list - it was set up by reference librarians as a place to ask
questions that have stumped them; but non-librarians are welcome to use it. I've
got answers to a couple of hard ones that way.

Here's the address and
instructions for subscribing:


Send the in the body of the message SUBSCRIBE STUMPERS-L
and that is
 all to the following
address:

MAILSERV@xxxxxxxx




It is not necessary to add your name or email address
 after
SUBSCRIBE STUMPERS-L, the program gets it automatically from
your
 FROM: field.

MAILSERV will reply with an automatically generated
 message that you 
have succeeded or failed. You may explicitly tell
 MAILSERV which address to subscribe by adding it to the
command.
