| Summary |
"Notes and Queries, Number 22, March 30, 1850" by Various is a periodical publication that serves as a forum for literary discussions, inquiries, and the exchange of knowledge, reflecting the mid-19th century interests in literature and historical matters. It presents a variety of contributions ranging from notes on literary works to discussions about folklore, genealogy, and academic queries, creating a snapshot of the scholarly curiosities of the time. The opening of this edition begins with an introduction to the contents, highlighting features such as notes on Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew" and inquiries about proverbial sayings and their origins. Samuel Hickson presents an argument positing that Shakespeare's version of "The Taming of the Shrew" is the original, countering claims about Marlowe's work being the antecedent. This sets the tone for the eclectic mix of subjects covered in the journal—each section inviting readers and contributors to engage with literature, history, and cultural observations, establishing a community of inquiry and scholarship.
