Summary "Notes and Queries, Number 20, March 16, 1850" by Various is a periodical publication that serves as a platform for literary men, artists, antiquaries, and genealogists to share knowledge and inquiries, written in the mid-19th century. This edition features a collection of notes, queries, and replies on a wide range of topics, including history, literature, and folk traditions, reflecting the intellectual pursuits of the time. The opening portion of this volume introduces various contributions, starting with a discussion on Alfred's Geography of Europe and its significance in medieval texts. Subsequent entries explore the first coffee houses in England, the true tragedy of Richard III, and an examination of superstitions surrounding death in both folk culture and literature. The text traverses topics from historical geographical accounts to customs, showcasing how collective knowledge plays a vital role in both preserving and understanding cultural heritage during the 1850s. Each piece reveals a unique aspect of the inquiry and scholarly conversation that characterizes this engaging compilation. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
