"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.
