In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. + + https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06 + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way.

Perhaps you'll say + In easy chair reclining, +The glimmer of his spectacles, + Upon his Bible shining. + +Ah, no! See you that earnest man, + With air so bold and free, +Driving a spotted, warlike bull?-- + That very man is he. + +Left to himself, the deacon grave + Tarried not long within, +And, thinking of his sturdy beasts, + Forgot his medicine. + +"I hope the meeting will be full, + And I shall not be missed," +Softly he breathed, and, looking round, + He murmured, "All is whist!" + +Thus on he drove that spotted bull, + And near the gateway placed him, +And when the other one came out, + It happened so, he faced him. + +"When Greek meets Greek," the deacon said, + "Then comes the tug of war;" +But such another tug, I ween, + The deacon never saw. + +Like sudden thunderbolts they met, + The spotted and the red. +Those bulls will never fight again-- + The spotted one is dead. + +All gored and prostrate in his blood, + He lies upon the ground, +While the unsated red one toward + The deacon made a bound. + +Down from the bars where he was perched. + Aghast, the good man sprung, +And if you'd seen him go it, _then_, + You'd said that he was young. + +Still after him with fury + The bull did rush and roar, +And was very near the deacon + When he reached the outer door. + +Through kitchen and through parlor fine, + Breathless, the poor man flew, +And lo! the bull is at his heels + And in the parlor too. + +A flight of stairs is all that's left + Between him and despair; +He springs to gain the top, and falls, + A sober deacon, there. + +But to his ears terrific sounds + Rise from the room below-- +Tables and glasses, chairs and all, + Crash, crash, together go! + +Upon the wall a mirror hung, + Of massive, gilded frame, +Which had reflected many a squire + And many a worthy dame. + +There last, not least, the raging beast + Descried his form at length, +And deemed it was another bull + Coming to try his strength. + +He plunged to meet his threatening foe, + But fought himself, alas! +While all around in fragments flew + The shattered looking glass! + +"What will come next?" the deacon cries; + "This is too much for one day: +My rifle's loaded, and I'll try + To stop this noise on Sunday." + +With trembling hand he seized the gun, + With wary step descended; +He aimed, he fired, he killed the bull, + And thus the battle ended. + +To yonder house we turn again, + And to the quiet throng +The preacher now has said, Amen! + Now ends the choral song. + +And friendly speech and courtesies + And shake of hands go round, +And each inquires the other's health, + All as in duty bound. + +"How is your spouse?" the parson said; + "I see he's not at meeting." +"This morning, sir," the wife replied, + "His heart was strangely beating. + +"I hope you'll call and see him soon" + "That I shall gladly do." +"Ride down with us--the carriage waits; + There's room enough for you." + +All seated now, with solemn air, + And with a placid smile, +Such words of truth the parson spoke + As might their fears beguile. + +Lo! they alight, the gate in sight-- + "What's that?" the matron said. +Says Peter, "It's the spotted bull, + And I believe he's dead." + +Thus all, amazed, a moment gazed, + And quickly turn about; +In doleful plight, the deacon sighs, + "Murder will surely out! + +"Where shall I go? What shall I do? + I'm caught--I am a sinner! +My wife, good soul--my wife has brought + The parson home to dinner!" + +And with a little spice of wit, + To which he was inclined, +Though none to spare the deacon had, + He thus relieved his mind: + +"I've often heard the preacher say + That good may come of evil; +Still every hour, with all our might, + We must resist the devil. + +"If horn and hoof be any proof, + And if the foot be riven, +Surely I am the very man + That with the beast has striven!" + +Now hurried steps without are heard, + And earnest voices blend; +"I'm in a vice," the deacon groans-- + "When will this torture end?" + +Young Peter, being first within, + For he had run ahead, +Loudly exclaims, "Another bull + Lies in the parlor, dead!" + +They enter all, with hands upraised + And faces filled with wonder-- +There stood confessed the deacon's case, + And all were struck with thunder. + +The tale flew quickly round, and woke + Much pity and more laughter; +But not a word the deacon spoke + Of his two bulls thereafter. + + + + +Listen! listen to my song, + There is meaning in it; +You may know it sha'nt be long-- + Only half a minute. + +Have you ever read the tale-- + Have you heard the story-- +How two bulls together fought + On the field of glory? + +And how a famous hero + Thought it was so cunning, +How he became a master + Of the art of running? + +And how he was so frightened, + In getting up the stairs; +And how he heard the breaking + Of all his china-wares? + +And how his heart was swelling + Up like a pot of yeast; +And how he took a rifle, + And fired it at the beast? + +And how the parish preacher + Had heard that he was sick, +And losing not a moment, + Did come to see him quick? + +And how the rumor flourished, + 'Mongst people young and old, +And how they sighed, and how they laughed + To hear the story told? + +If you have read, remember + The moral of this book-- +Whoever takes the devil's bait, + Is sure to feel the hook. + + + + + + + + + +End of Project Gutenberg's The Story of the Two Bulls, by John R.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. + + https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06 + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. + + https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06 + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part +of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is +identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single +digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For +example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at: + + https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234 + +or filename 24689 would be found at: + https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689 + +An alternative method of locating eBooks: + https://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL + + + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/old/10796-h/images/001.jpg b/old/10796-h/images/001.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..5def2d9 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10796-h/images/001.jpg diff --git a/old/10796-h/images/002.jpg b/old/10796-h/images/002.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..0d7eb27 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10796-h/images/002.jpg diff --git a/old/10796-h/images/003.jpg b/old/10796-h/images/003.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..abf49a6 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10796-h/images/003.jpg diff --git a/old/10796-h/images/004.jpg b/old/10796-h/images/004.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..3157897 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10796-h/images/004.jpg diff --git a/old/10796-h/images/Thumbs.db b/old/10796-h/images/Thumbs.db Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..318c0de --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10796-h/images/Thumbs.db diff --git a/old/10796.txt b/old/10796.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..b7a6248 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10796.txt @@ -0,0 +1,787 @@ +The Project Gutenberg EBook of The Story of the Two Bulls, by John R.

Perhaps you'll say + In easy chair reclining, +The glimmer of his spectacles, + Upon his Bible shining. + +Ah, no! See you that earnest man, + With air so bold and free, +Driving a spotted, warlike bull?-- + That very man is he. + +Left to himself, the deacon grave + Tarried not long within, +And, thinking of his sturdy beasts, + Forgot his medicine. + +"I hope the meeting will be full, + And I shall not be missed," +Softly he breathed, and, looking round, + He murmured, "All is whist!" + +Thus on he drove that spotted bull, + And near the gateway placed him, +And when the other one came out, + It happened so, he faced him. + +"When Greek meets Greek," the deacon said, + "Then comes the tug of war;" +But such another tug, I ween, + The deacon never saw. + +Like sudden thunderbolts they met, + The spotted and the red. +Those bulls will never fight again-- + The spotted one is dead. + +All gored and prostrate in his blood, + He lies upon the ground, +While the unsated red one toward + The deacon made a bound. + +Down from the bars where he was perched. + Aghast, the good man sprung, +And if you'd seen him go it, _then_, + You'd said that he was young. + +Still after him with fury + The bull did rush and roar, +And was very near the deacon + When he reached the outer door. + +Through kitchen and through parlor fine, + Breathless, the poor man flew, +And lo! the bull is at his heels + And in the parlor too. + +A flight of stairs is all that's left + Between him and despair; +He springs to gain the top, and falls, + A sober deacon, there. + +But to his ears terrific sounds + Rise from the room below-- +Tables and glasses, chairs and all, + Crash, crash, together go! + +Upon the wall a mirror hung, + Of massive, gilded frame, +Which had reflected many a squire + And many a worthy dame. + +There last, not least, the raging beast + Descried his form at length, +And deemed it was another bull + Coming to try his strength. + +He plunged to meet his threatening foe, + But fought himself, alas! +While all around in fragments flew + The shattered looking glass! + +"What will come next?" the deacon cries; + "This is too much for one day: +My rifle's loaded, and I'll try + To stop this noise on Sunday." + +With trembling hand he seized the gun, + With wary step descended; +He aimed, he fired, he killed the bull, + And thus the battle ended. + +To yonder house we turn again, + And to the quiet throng +The preacher now has said, Amen! + Now ends the choral song. + +And friendly speech and courtesies + And shake of hands go round, +And each inquires the other's health, + All as in duty bound. + +"How is your spouse?" the parson said; + "I see he's not at meeting." +"This morning, sir," the wife replied, + "His heart was strangely beating. + +"I hope you'll call and see him soon" + "That I shall gladly do." +"Ride down with us--the carriage waits; + There's room enough for you." + +All seated now, with solemn air, + And with a placid smile, +Such words of truth the parson spoke + As might their fears beguile. + +Lo! they alight, the gate in sight-- + "What's that?" the matron said. +Says Peter, "It's the spotted bull, + And I believe he's dead." + +Thus all, amazed, a moment gazed, + And quickly turn about; +In doleful plight, the deacon sighs, + "Murder will surely out! + +"Where shall I go? What shall I do? + I'm caught--I am a sinner! +My wife, good soul--my wife has brought + The parson home to dinner!" + +And with a little spice of wit, + To which he was inclined, +Though none to spare the deacon had, + He thus relieved his mind: + +"I've often heard the preacher say + That good may come of evil; +Still every hour, with all our might, + We must resist the devil. + +"If horn and hoof be any proof, + And if the foot be riven, +Surely I am the very man + That with the beast has striven!" + +Now hurried steps without are heard, + And earnest voices blend; +"I'm in a vice," the deacon groans-- + "When will this torture end?" + +Young Peter, being first within, + For he had run ahead, +Loudly exclaims, "Another bull + Lies in the parlor, dead!" + +They enter all, with hands upraised + And faces filled with wonder-- +There stood confessed the deacon's case, + And all were struck with thunder. + +The tale flew quickly round, and woke + Much pity and more laughter; +But not a word the deacon spoke + Of his two bulls thereafter. + + + + +Listen! listen to my song, + There is meaning in it; +You may know it sha'nt be long-- + Only half a minute. + +Have you ever read the tale-- + Have you heard the story-- +How two bulls together fought + On the field of glory? + +And how a famous hero + Thought it was so cunning, +How he became a master + Of the art of running? + +And how he was so frightened, + In getting up the stairs; +And how he heard the breaking + Of all his china-wares? + +And how his heart was swelling + Up like a pot of yeast; +And how he took a rifle, + And fired it at the beast? + +And how the parish preacher + Had heard that he was sick, +And losing not a moment, + Did come to see him quick? + +And how the rumor flourished, + 'Mongst people young and old, +And how they sighed, and how they laughed + To hear the story told? + +If you have read, remember + The moral of this book-- +Whoever takes the devil's bait, + Is sure to feel the hook. + + + + + + + + + +End of Project Gutenberg's The Story of the Two Bulls, by John R.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. + + https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06 + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part +of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is +identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single +digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For +example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at: + + https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234 + +or filename 24689 would be found at: + https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689 + +An alternative method of locating eBooks: + https://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL + + diff --git a/old/10796.zip b/old/10796.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..6f2b554 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10796.zip |
