Summary "Notes and Queries, Number 185, May 14, 1853" by Various is a periodical publication focusing on literature, history, and inquiries into various topics written during the mid-19th century. This edition serves as a platform for intellectual correspondence among literary enthusiasts, antiquarians, genealogists, and other scholars, sharing notes, queries, and responses on diverse subjects ranging from linguistics to historical documents. The opening portion of this issue introduces several intriguing topics. It starts with a discussion on English books of emblems, highlighting a lack of comprehensive English publications on the subject despite the popularity of emblem books in other countries. The editor, Thomas Corser, seeks information on English writers of emblems, inviting readers to contribute any findings. Following this, various queries and minor notes cover topics such as historical pamphlets, the pronunciation of certain English words in the context of Shakespeare's works, localities mentioned in Anglo-Saxon charters, and more, providing a vibrant snapshot of the scholarly interests of the time. Each section demonstrates the community's engagement with historical and literary scholarship, urging collaboration to fill gaps in knowledge. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
