Summary "Notes and Queries, Number 82, May 24, 1851" by Various is a collection of essays, discussions, and inquiries focused on a wide array of topics relevant to literature, history, and culture, likely written in the mid-19th century. The publication serves as a platform for literary men, artists, antiquarians, genealogists, and others to exchange knowledge, share curiosities, and pose questions concerning various subjects. Readers can expect a treasure trove of insights linking literature to folklore, etymology, and historical anecdotes. The beginning of "Notes and Queries" introduces readers to a range of diverse entries, starting with a note on the usage of the word "prenzie" in Shakespeare's "Measure for Measure", leading to submissions showcasing Devonshire folklore, including tales of conjuring storms and mythical creatures like Heath-hounds. It also hints at queries about popular phrases, peculiar customs, and discussions regarding historical literature and known figures. This opening portion sets a tone of scholarly curiosity, appealing to those interested in the intersections of history, linguistics, and culture from a distinctly 19th-century perspective.
