"Notes and Queries, Number 13, January 26, 1850" by Various is an early Victorian periodical offering insights into the minds of historians, writers, and enthusiasts of the era. This collaborative compilation covers everything from deciphering the mysteries surrounding Domingo Lomelyn, Henry VIII’s jester, to questioning the true authorship of Marlowe’s celebrated works and exploring the lore of beetle mythology. It also unearths historical tidbits from churchwardens’ chronicles of Westminster’s St. Margaret's Church, along with inquiries about notable figures like Catherine Pegge and William Basse, and literary puzzles covering a spectrum of concepts from blood circulation to obscure phrase origins. Essentially capturing the era's intellectual pulse, it showcases lively discussions about the roots of families, the beauty of storytelling, and the importance of archiving knowledge.
