"Notes and Queries, Number 66, February 1, 1851" by Various is a periodical publication written in the mid-19th century. This work serves as a medium for communication among literary men, artists, antiquaries, genealogists, and others interested in sharing knowledge, queries, and insights related to historical and literary subjects. The publication offers a blend of notes, queries, and replies, fostering communal engagement in the exploration of diverse topics including history, folklore, literature, and biography. At the start of this edition, the editorial team expresses excitement over the inception of a similar Dutch periodical, "DE NAVORSCHER," which shares the same foundational principles as "Notes and Queries." This introduction not only highlights the growing network of intellectual exchange across borders but also sets the tone for the collection of contributions that follows, including notes on Sir John Davies, Queen Anne's farthings, and various folklore elements. Each section reveals various individuals' inquiries into historical names, biographical inaccuracies, and curiosities surrounding cultural artifacts, all aimed at enhancing the collective understanding of their subjects.
