| Summary | "Notes and Queries, Number 11, January 12, 1850" is a collection of articles, notes, and queries compiled by various authors during the early Victorian era. This publication serves as a medium for communication among literary men, artists, antiquarians, genealogists, and other interested parties, focusing on a wide range of topics including history, literature, and antiquarian studies. The book captures the intellectual curiosity of its time, offering insights into the exchanges that were common among Victorian-era scholars and enthusiasts. The contents of this particular issue include a collection of notes ranging from explorations of Sir Edward Dering's Household Book, which chronicles personal expenses and social customs from 1648 to 1652, to inquiries about the etymology of certain phrases and the origins of places like Bayswater. Other notable sections discuss historical figures such as Lord Clarendon and ancient artifacts, alongside miscellaneous contributions that delve into various cultural and literary curiosities, including the origins of proverbs and local customs. The fragmented format—containing both literary queries and responses—facilitates a rich tapestry of knowledge-sharing, making it a valuable resource for understanding the intellectual pursuits of its era.
