Enquire within upon everything

it
is
easy
to
write
and
not
very
hard
to
read
the
entire
speech.
The
whole
theory
of
the
cryptogram
is
that
each
correspondent
possesses
the
key
to
the
secret.
To
confound
an
outside
inquirer
the
key
is
often
varied.
A
good
plan
is
to
take
a
line
from
any
ordinary
book
and
substitute
the
first
twenty-six
of
its
letters
for
those
of
the
alphabet.
In
your
next
cryptogram
you
take
the
letters
from
another
page
or
another
book.
It
is
not
necessary
to
give
an
example.
Enough
will
be
seen
from
what
we
have
written
to
instruct
an
intelligent
inquirer.

Decapitations
and
Curtailments
are
riddles
somewhat
of
the
nature
of
the
Logogriph,
which
see.
In
the
first,
the
omission
of
the
successive
initials
produces
new
words,
as--Prelate,
Relate,
Elate,
Late,
Ate.
In
the
curtailment
the
last
letter
of
the
word
is
taken
away
with
a
similar
result,
as--Patent,
Paten,
Pate,
Pat,
Pa.
Of
like
kind
are
the
riddles
known
as
variations,
mutilations,
reverses,
and
counterchanges.
A
good
example
of
the
last-named
is
this:
Charge,
Chester,
Charge:
on,
Stanley,
on!
Were
the
last
words
of
Marmion.
Had
I
but
been
in
Stanley's
place,
When
Marmion
urged
him
to
the
chase,
A
tear
might
come
on
every
face.
The
answer
is
onion--On,
I,
on.
