I own a 1908 copy of The New American Encyclopedia of Social and Commercial Information. It's signed by J. Otto McKenzie of Winnipeg Manitoba, 1909.

it teaches you just about everything you can think of, from an early 20th century point of view at least.

it has chapters on learning: writing, european languages, the metric system, US history, geology, painting, music, various musical instruments, making sculptures, brass work, wood carvings, automobiles, various forms of self-defence, first aid, horses, cattle, gymnastics, and on and on.

you can view the book online here: https://archive.org/details/newamericanencyc00homaiala
