| Summary | "Notes and Queries, Number 62, January 4, 1851" by Various is a historical publication that serves as a platform for literary men, artists, antiquarians, genealogists, and others to share information, discuss queries, and provide insights related to various topics. This collection was compiled during the early Victorian era, a time when periodicals were gaining popularity as a medium for intellectual exchange and social commentary. The book features an array of notes, queries, and replies on subjects ranging from folklore and historical records to literary analysis and cultural observations. The content of this issue spans multiple contributions that explore a variety of subjects. It discusses old ballads related to Shakespeare's "Winter's Tale," inquiries about historical customs like crossing rivers on skins, and folklore beliefs regarding animals like hedgehogs and magpies. Additionally, it includes queries related to historical texts and figures, such as the origins of penny postage, various genealogical interests, and reflections on literary figures like Beatrix Lady Talbot. Each section illustrates the ongoing dialogue among correspondents, reflecting a rich tapestry of 19th-century intellectual pursuits and a communal effort to preserve and understand their cultural heritage.
