- Q5379490 abstract "Enquire Within Upon Everything was a how-to book for domestic life, first published in 1856 by Houlston and Sons of Paternoster Square in London. The editor was Robert Kemp Philp. It was then continuously reprinted in many new and updated editions as additional information and articles were added. The book was created with the intention of providing encyclopedic information on topics as diverse as etiquette, parlour games, cake recipes, laundry tips, holiday preparation and first aid:"Whether You Wish to Model a Flower in Wax;to Study the Rules of Etiquette;to Serve a Relish for Breakfast or Supper;to Plan a Dinner for a Large Party or a Small One;to Cure a Headache;to Make a Will;to Get Married;to Bury a Relative;Whatever You May Wish to Do, Make, or to Enjoy,Provided Your Desire has Relation to the Necessities of Domestic Life,I Hope You will not Fail to 'Enquire Within.' " (Editor's introduction.)The early editions of this book contained 3,000 short pithy descriptions and was one of a set of 20 books.The book was a popular addition to the Victorian (and later post-Victorian) home. By 1862 the book was sold 196,000 times; by the 89th edition, some 1,180,000 copies had been published. With the release of the 113th edition, this number had risen to over 1,500,000. It ceased to be published around 1976 when it was in its 126th edition.Agatha Christie used Enquire Within Upon Everything as an important clue in the Hercule Poirot detective novel, Hallowe'en Party.Tim Berners-Lee apparently named his precursor of the World Wide Web, ENQUIRE, after this work in 1980. He said that its title was suggestive of magic and the book served as a portal to a world of information. He thought it not a perfect analogy for the Web, but a primitive starting point.".
