| Summary | "Notes and Queries, Number 184, May 7, 1853" by Various is a historical collection of literary discussions and inquiries written in the mid-19th century. This periodical serves as a medium for intercommunication among literary men, artists, antiquarians, genealogists, and others, fostering dialogue on topics ranging from literature to history. It features contributions from various authors discussing diverse subjects, including folk poetry, witchcraft, and significant historical figures, which together highlight the intellectual interests of the time. The opening portion of this volume presents various notes and queries covering a broad spectrum of topics. It starts with a detailed examination of a fragment of popular poetry related to the famous characters Adam Bell, Clym of the Clough, and William of Cloudesly. The subsequent sections touch upon witchcraft, providing original accounts from the past, followed by an exploration of linguistic origins related to the concept of spring in plant growth. The notes also inquire about judicial oaths in different Christian denominations and the historical significance of notable figures like Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton, capturing the book’s essence as a rich tapestry of shared knowledge and academic inquiry.
