"Notes and Queries, Vol. V, Number 123, March 6, 1852" by Various is a collection of inquiries, discussions, and scholarly notes from the mid-19th century. This periodical serves as a medium for literary men, antiquarians, and genealogists to exchange information and insights on various topics, including folklore, historical figures, and literary criticism, as evidenced by its diverse contents. Readers can explore subjects such as the origins of phrases, anecdotes about notable individuals, and various customs, showcasing the interests and intellectual pursuits of the time. The opening of this edition features an array of intriguing topics beginning with a note on South Sea playing cards, which reflect the speculative frenzy of that era. The subsequent entries discuss Josephine's birthplace, providing evidence favoring St. Lucia over Martinique. Other contributions touch on Homeric studies, examining differing views on authorship and composition, and a folk remedy involving rainwater. Throughout this volume, contributors answer queries and provide insights into less-known historical anecdotes and traditions, inviting further exploration into topics that bridge literature, history, and culture.
