Enquire Within Upon Everything is an 1856 how-to book for domestic life, published by Houlston and Sons of Paternoster Square.

Tim Berners-Lee apparently named his precursor of the World Wide Web, ENQUIRE, after this work.

"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.
As of the 89th edition, there were 1,180,000 copies published.
