VORWORT DES HERAUSGEBERS.
If there be any among my Readers who, having turned over the pages of "ENQUIRE WITHIN," have hastily pronounced them to be confused and ill-arranged, let them at once refer to THE INDEX, at page 389*, and for ever hold their peace.
Wenn es unter meinen Lesern solche geben sollte, die, nachdem sie die Seiten von „ENQUIRE WITHIN" durchgeblättert haben, voreilig geurteilt haben, diese seien verworren und schlecht geordnet, so mögen sie sogleich auf DEN INDEX auf Seite 389* verweisen und für immer schweigen.
The INDEX is, to the vast congregation of useful hints and receipts that fill the pages of this volume, what the DIRECTORY is to the great aggregation of houses and people in London.
Der INDEX verhält sich zu der großen Sammlung nützlicher Hinweise und Rezepte, die die Seiten dieses Bandes füllen, wie das ADRESSBUCH zu der großen Ansammlung von Häusern und Menschen in London.
No one, being a stranger to London, would run about asking for "MR. SMITH."
Niemand, der London nicht kennt, würde umherlaufen und nach „HERRN SCHMIDT" fragen.
But, remembering the Christian name and the profession of the individual wanted, he would turn to the DIRECTORY, and trace him out.
Aber indem er sich den Vornamen und den Beruf der gesuchten Person ins Gedächtnis ruft, würde er das ADRESSBUCH aufschlagen und sie darin ausfindig machen.
Like a house, every paragraph in "ENQUIRE WITHIN" has its number,--and the INDEX is the DIRECTORY which will explain what Facts, Hints, and Instructions _inhabit_ that number.
Wie ein Haus hat jeder Absatz in „ENQUIRE WITHIN" seine Nummer – und der INDEX ist das ADRESSBUCH, das erklären wird, welche Fakten, Hinweise und Anleitungen unter dieser Nummer _wohnen_.
