Summary "Notes and Queries, Number 170, January 29, 1853" by Various is a collection of literary notes and communications written in the mid-19th century. This publication serves as a medium for the exchange of knowledge among literary scholars, artists, antiquarians, genealogists, and other interested individuals, addressing various topics such as folklore, historical queries, and literary criticisms. The range of subjects indicates a rich tapestry of intellectual engagement and illustrates the vibrant culture of inquiry present during that time. The opening of this edition introduces several thematic sections, including notes on historical figures, etymological inquiries, and literary anecdotes. Each entry typically presents a query followed by responses, allowing readers to engage with diverse ideas ranging from the origins of words like "Yankee" to the literary influences of figures such as William Cowper. For instance, the first note delves into William Robertson’s contribution to the study of Scottish history, while other entries discuss popular beliefs around cures for ailments and notable cultural trivia, painting a colorful picture of the interests and intellectual pursuits of the period.
