Enquire within upon everything: The great Victorian-era domestic standby — Page 5
To some extent, though in a far less degree, assistance has been rendered by the authors of many useful and popular works, for which due acknowledgment must be made.
Em certa medida, embora em grau muito menor, assistência foi prestada pelos autores de muitas obras úteis e populares, pelas quais o devido reconhecimento deve ser feito.
Chief among these works are Dr. Kitchiner's "COOKS' ORACLE"; "THE COOK," in Houlston and Sons' Industrial Library; "THE SHOPKEEPER'S GUIDE;" "THE WIFE'S OWN COOKERY," "THE PRACTICAL HOUSEWIFE," and many of the volumes of the "REASON WHY" series.
As principais entre essas obras são o "ORÁCULO DOS COZINHEIROS" do Dr. Kitchiner; "O COZINHEIRO," na Biblioteca Industrial de Houlston e Filhos; "O GUIA DO LOJISTA;" "A CULINÁRIA DA PRÓPRIA ESPOSA," "A DONA DE CASA PRÁTICA," e muitos dos volumes da série "POR QUÊ".
Lastly, as in everyday life it is found necessary at times to make a thorough inspection of house and home, and to carry out requisite repairs, alterations, and additions, this has been done in the recent editions of "ENQUIRE WITHIN," to which some hundreds of paragraphs have been added, while others have been remodelled and revised in accordance with the progress of the times in which we live.
Por último, assim como na vida quotidiana se considera necessário às vezes fazer uma inspeção minuciosa da casa e do lar, e realizar os reparos, alterações e acréscimos necessários, isso foi feito nas edições recentes de "CONSULTE DENTRO," às quais foram acrescentados algumas centenas de parágrafos, enquanto outros foram remodelados e revisados de acordo com o progresso dos tempos em que vivemos.
Care, however, has been taken to alter nothing that needed no alteration, so that, practically, this Popular Favourite is still the old "ENQUIRE WITHIN;" improved, it is true, but in no way so changed as to place it beyond the recognition of those to whom it has been a BOOK OF CONSTANT REFERENCE since its first appearance.
Cuidado, no entanto, foi tomado para não alterar nada que não precisasse de alteração, de modo que, praticamente, este Popular Favorito ainda é o antigo "CONSULTE DENTRO;" melhorado, é verdade, mas de forma alguma tão alterado a ponto de colocá-lo além do reconhecimento daqueles para quem tem sido um LIVRO DE REFERÊNCIA CONSTANTE desde sua primeira aparição.
