Enquire Within upon Everything
Medicines Homeopathy Health
139 Years
Enquire Within upon Everything is a how-to book, akin to a short encyclopedia for domestic life, first published in 1856 by Houlston and Son of Paternoster Square in London.
For collectors of vintage books, this original 135 year old (1885) hardcover edition of "Enquire Within upon Everything" is a great find.
Published by the original Houlston and Son in London, this book provides insights into the victorian practices of the past.
The book covers topics like health, treatments and medicine, making it a valuable addition to any medical history collection.
This book is a great example of the kind of publications that were used to educate REAL LIFE SKILLS in the mid-19th century. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of practices and is an important historical artefact.
