INQUIRE WITHIN is an antique 1858 family reference book loaded with instructions, advice, recipes, receipts, formulae, and practical how-to information for a broad variety of everyday needs, ranging from cookery to household, health and medical, to daily etiquette. The title page promises “over three thousand seven hundred facts worth knowing, ” and boasts that INQUIRE WITHIN is the Largest and Most Valuable Collection of Useful Information That Has Ever Been Published. In this book you’ll find a vast array of Victorian cookery recipes, household hints and how-to, home remedies and medical advice, directions for arts, crafts and hobbies, games, beauty tips, pet care, dancing, poisons, instructions for daily life and even an extensive section on social etiquette including how to write love letters, courtship and marriage. With this book in hand, you can learn to make Strasburg Potted Meat, how to dance a quadrille or perform surgery in the comfort of your home. You can brew Porter Ale, exterminate rats, and then court your honey in socially-approved style. Become a master of charades. If you’re a young man about to be married, prepare to say goodbye to all your drinking buddies because your carousing days are over – it’s in the book. And ladies, once married you will please refrain from referring to your husband by his Christian name in the company of your friends; you are henceforth to address him as Mr. Once again, it’s all in the book. Who knows, maybe INQUIRE WITHIN contains too much information for one mind to absorb. It certainly appears to have challenged the editors, who published the 3,700 “facts worth knowing” in no particular order. But fear not – the book does contain an extensive index to serve as a guide to the individually numbered recipes, receipts and articles. The editors even state in the Preface. If there be any among our readers who, having turned over the pages of INQUIRE WITHIN, have hastily pronounced them to be confused and ill arranged, let them at once refer to THE INDEX or forever hold their peace. INQUIRE WITHIN is decidedly the most wonderful and useful book that has been issued for many years. It should be in the hands of every family in the country, as it gives a vast amount of information on every subject connected with domestic life, not heretofore in print in any other work. As a book of reference it is invaluable – it refers to and explains everything, whether you wish to model a flower in wax, to ornament vase by the art of potichomanie; to serve up a relish for breakfast or for supper; to supply a delicious entrée for the dinner table; to plan a dinner for a large party or a small one; to cure a headache; to get married, to establish acquaintances according to the rules of etiquette; to play at cards, chess or other games; to enjoy an hour at curious puzzles and arithmetical questions; to tie any kind of a knot; to do up a neat parcel; to relieve the invalid; to write and speak correctly; whether you want to dance; to commence or end a courtship, or whatever you may wish to do, make, or to enjoy (provided your desire has relation to the necessities of domestic life) – all you have to do is procure a copy of INQUIRE WITHIN, and it will give all the information you want to know. To give you a better idea of the reams of information packed into this book, I chained myself to my keyboard and pored over it page by page, compiling and arranging the recipes and receipts into familiar categories, which you can find below. I hope you’ll do me the kindness of taking a look.
