What is the correct way to carve a partridge? How should leeches be
applied? How can egg whites be used to repair broken china? First
published in 1856, Enquire Within rapidly became the indispensable
guide to Victorian domestic life. Packed with words of wisdom and
pithy advice, it covered everything from entertaining and etiquette
to household management, and took in considered discussion of such
arcane matters as how singing might prevent consumption, and which
ointments will remove freckles, not to mention why chess should on
no account ever be played at a ball. This new, charmingly
illustrated pocket-sized edition contains a selection of hints and
tips that not only provide a fascinating insight into the
day-to-day life of Victorian Britain, but also, in places, reveal
timeless wisdom that we would do well to heed today.
