Summary "Notes and Queries, Number 38, July 20, 1850" by Various is a scholarly publication from the mid-19th century, primarily serving as a medium for intercommunication among literary figures, artists, antiquarians, and genealogists. This issue consists of a series of notes and queries that cover a vast range of topics, including literary analysis, etymological discussions, folklore, and historical inquiries, reflecting interests prominent during the Victorian era. In this edition, the contributors engage with varied subjects: Samuel Hickson analyzes the unique use of the word "delighted" in Shakespeare's works, providing a new interpretation of its meaning. Lord Braybrooke presents a list of authors associated with "The Rolliad," while additional notes explore the derivation of the term "Easter" and recount various folk traditions regarding marriage and omens of death. Queries about historical figures like Nicholas Ferrar and discussions surrounding ancient texts further illustrate the invaluable exchange of knowledge and curiosity characteristic of this publication, allowing readers to engage deeply with the past and its literary heritage.
