It is a design by Perkins, exquisitely engraved by John Andrew +& Son. + +"The Boy who loved his mother" is another picture that is worthy of +special notice. The "Drawing-Lesson" by Weir, should attract the +attention of all children who want to learn to draw. + +Canvassers will find from our terms that we offer them rare inducements +for extending the circulation of "The Nursery." It is poor economy, even +in the hardest times, for parents to neglect what may largely contribute +to the education of their children. + +"The Easy Book" and "The Beautiful Book," are now recognized as Standard +works for the young, and continue to be in great demand. To these we +shall soon add "The Nursery Primer," which will surpass everything of +the kind yet got up. + +"Next to a baby," writes a subscriber in Charlotte, Mich., "there never +was such joy in a household as 'The Nursery.' My little girl will repeat +nearly every poem, though she does not know a letter. My boy is just +two, and such a yell of delight when he finds a '_bow-wow_,' as he calls +the dog, all to himself, would astonish a Piute Indian. I don't have to +keep any 'cramp drops,' 'baby jumpers' or 'patent food,'(?) for the +children. I find they never have an ail or grievance, but 'The Nursery' +acts as a specific. I wish every mother in the land would give it to her +children on trial. And really it makes old people feel quite sunny." + +It will be seen by a notice in our advertising pages, that the Publisher +of "The Nursery" is prepared to execute various commissions in the way +of purchasing and forwarding books, Maps, Games, Stationery, &c., for +parties desiring them. + + + + +[Illustration: THE BOY WHO LOVED HIS MOTHER.] + +THE BOY WHO LOVED HIS MOTHER + + +When Felix was a little fellow, hardly two years old, he used to pet his +mother, and tell her how much he loved her. + +As he grew up, he showed his love by his acts. He minded his mother; he +gave her his attention when she talked to him; and, if she told him not +to do a thing, he would not do it. + +If she said, "Felix, don't do that," he would not fret, and say, "Why +not, mother?" Oh, no! He would at once give up what he was doing; for he +knew she would not, without some good reason, forbid him to do a thing +that pleased him. + +Once, when Felix had grown to be six years old, his mother took him with +her on a journey in the railroad-cars to New York. It was a fine day in +June: the windows of the cars were open. + +"Felix," said his mother, as they took their seats, "you may sit by the +window; but you must not put your head or your arms out of it." + +Before she could explain to him her reasons for saying this, a friend +who had come in drew off her attention, by talking to her; so that she +forgot to explain to Felix why she did not wish to have him put his head +or arms out of the window. + +In the seat just before him, Felix saw a large boy, who kept putting his +head out, although the boy's mother kept telling him not to do it. By +and by the cars rushed by a post, which stood so near the track that it +almost grazed the boy's head. He started back in a great fright, losing +his hat as he did so. He had a very narrow escape. + +Felix now saw why his mother had given him the caution she had. He took +her hand in his, and looked up in her face. She smiled on him; for she +knew what was passing in his mind. + +"Yes, Felix," said she: "if you had not loved your mother too much to +wound her by disobedience, you might have lost your life." + +UNCLE CHARLES. + + + + +FROWING AWAY ONE. + + +I know three little girls who are sisters. Of course, they ought to love +each other dearly. When they stand up, they are like a flight of three +steps: baby is the lowest; Mattie is the middle step; and Susie is the +upper step, because she is tallest. + +The baby is four years old, I know: so I guess that Mattie is almost +six, and Susie a little more than seven. + +No two of you little people love each other more dearly than Mattie and +baby love each other. Where one is, the other always wants to be. They +sit and walk with their arms around each other. It is pleasant to see +them. + +They both dearly love Susie too; but she is bigger, and doesn't seem to +belong quite so much to them as they seem to belong to each other. + +One day their mamma was looking at them; and, thinking aloud, she said, +"Three little girls! What shall I do with so many? Don't you think I +have too many?" + +Then baby looked earnestly into her mother's face, and said, "O, mamma! +if you _must_ frow one away, do frow away Susie." + +Never you fear, little people, that Susie will be "frowed" away. Her +mamma has not one too many, though she has three little girls. + +E.M.S. + + + + +HUNTING FOR EASTER-EGGS. + + +The Easter-egg is a painted or colored egg used for a present at Easter, +a day which occurs on Sunday, the second day after Good-Friday. + +The term "Easter" is said to be derived from a Saxon word meaning +_rising_; and Easter is a festival of the Christian Church to +commemorate the resurrection. + +In the picture, the children are hunting for Easter-eggs, which the good +mother has hidden in different parts of the room. The child who finds +the most eggs will have the pleasure of making presents of them to whom +he or she may choose. + +Baby has set his eyes on the egg that lies on the floor. If he takes it +up, I hope he will not let it fall, and break it. The other children +will not be slow to find the painted eggs. There must be a dozen, or +more, of them hidden away. + + + + +THE BEAUTIFUL SPRING. + + + "I was here first," said the snowdrop: "look!" + "Not before me!" sang the silver brook. + "Why," cried the grass, "I've been here a week!" + "So have I, dear," sighed a violet meek. + + "Well," piped a bluebird, "don't leave me out! + I saw the snow that lay round about." + "Yes," chirped a snowbird, "that may be true; + But I've seen it all the bleak winter through." + + "I came betimes," sang the southwind, "I!" + "After me, love!" spake the deep blue sky. + "Who is it cares?" chimed the crickets gay: + "Now you are here, let us hope you'll stay." + + Whispered the sun, "Lo! the winter's past: + What does it matter who's first or last? + Sky, brooks, and flowers, and birdies that sing, + All help to make up the beautiful spring." + +GEORGE COOPER. + + + + +OUR CHRISTMAS PLAY. + + +Our Emily wrote a play for our Christmas entertainment. Emily, Ruth, +Mary, and Uncle Peter, all took part in it. The curtain fell amid very +great applause from grandma, grandpa, father, and Uncle Charles, +Brothers Robert and John, Jane, the housemaid, Aunt Alice, and some six +of our cousins. So you see we had a good audience. As it is the only +play we have ever seen acted, we may be too partial critics; but readers +must judge for themselves. + + +(EMILY _enters with a basket of shoestrings_) + +EMILY.--Shoestrings to sell! Does anybody want shoestrings? Dear me, how +cold it is! To-morrow is Christmas, and I must earn money enough to buy +a basket of coal. Who wants a nice pair of shoestrings? + +RUTH (_entering_).--This is a cold day, little girl, and you are thinly +clad. Now, if my Uncle Peter, were here I know what he would do: he +would buy you a shawl. + +EMILY.--As soon as I get rich, I mean to buy one myself. Can I sell you +a pair of shoestrings? + +RUTH.--What is the price? + +EMILY.--Only two cents a pair. + +RUTH.--Then you may give me three pairs. Here are six cents. (_Takes out +her purse, and pays_ EMILY, _but, in putting it back, lets it fall on +the ground._) + +EMILY.--Thank you; and a merry Christmas to you! + +RUTH.--I wish I could make your Christmas a merry one, poor child; but I +have done what I could. Good-by. (_Goes out._) + +EMILY.--Oh, if more such customers would come along, how glad I should +be! Will any one buy a nice pair of shoestrings? (_Sees the purse, and +picks it up._) What is this on the ground? A purse! And it has money in +it. One dollar, three dollars--Dear me! That young lady must have +dropped it. I must run and give it to her. Where is she? (_Puts down her +basket, and goes out._) + +(MARY _enters, and looks at the basket._) + +MARY.--A basket on the sidewalk! What does it mean? (_Takes it up._) It +is full of shoestrings. I will take it to my mother, and ask her to +find the owner. (MARY _takes up the basket, and is going out, when_ RUTH +_enters._) + +RUTH.--Are you the girl I bought shoestrings of? + +MARY.--No: I have not sold any. These are not mine. + +RUTH.--Have you seen any thing of a purse about here? + +MARY.--No: I have seen no purse. (_Goes off-with the basket._) + +RUTH.--- Oh! here comes the little girl I was looking for; and she has +my purse in her hand. (_Enter_ EMILY.) That is my purse, little girl. + +EMILY (_giving_ RUTH _the purse_).--Take it. I was looking for you. But +where is my basket of shoestrings? + +RUTH.--Why, that little girl yonder has it. See her there, crossing the +street. + +EMILY.--It is my basket. She has taken what does not belong to her. + +RUTH.--Run, and bring her to me. (EMILY _starts to go out._) Stop! What +is your name? + +EMILY.--Emily Swift. + +RUTH.--Well, Emily Swift, I think you are mistaken in supposing that the +little girl meant to steal your basket. Bring her to me. (EMILY _goes +out._) What a pleasant thing it would be to have a purse so full, that +one could keep on giving from it, and never find it empty! But here come +the children. + +(EMILY _leads in_ MARY). + +EMILY.--Here she is. She says she was taking the basket to her mother, +so that her mother might find the owner. + +RUTH.--And do you doubt her word? + +EMILY.--Doubt her word? Not I! She is too good a little girl to tell a +falsehood. Just look in her face, and you will see that she speaks the +truth. + +RUTH.--Yes, Emily Swift, you are right. + +EMILY.--Goodness me! What is that thing coming this way? + +MARY.--I am afraid of it. Is it a man? + +RUTH.--As I live, it is Uncle Peter! + +EMILY.--Who is Uncle Peter? + +RUTH.--He is the man, who, every Christmas, buys as many toys as he can +carry, and gives them to good children. Here he comes. + +(_Enter_ UNCLE PETER, _comically dressed, and covered from head to foot +with all sorts of toys, he is followed by boys and girls. He dances and +sings to music._) + + +UNCLE PETER'S SONG. + + "Christmas comes but once a year, once a year, once a year! So + follow me, my children dear, children dear, children dear: So + follow me, my children dear, on Christmas Eve so joyful!" + +(_After dancing, he takes_ EMILY _and_ MARY _by the hand, and runs off +with them, followed by the rest._) + + +As this is Emily's first play, and she is only nine years old, I hope +the critics will not be too severe upon it. If well performed, it will +be found, I think, far more amusing in the acting than in the reading. + + + + +BABY'S PINK THUMBS. + + + The snow had quite covered the ground, + The wind whistled fiercely and chill, + When a poor little storm-beaten bird + Flew down on the broad window-sill. + + Within, there was comfort and wealth; + Gay pictures half covered the wall; + The children were happy at play; + And the fire shone bright over all. + + Without, there was famine and frost; + Not a morsel of fruit or of grain; + And the bird gave a piteous chirp, + And tapped with his beak at the pane. + + Then baby climbed up on a chair, + Forgetting his trumpets and drums: + He doubled his two little fists, + And pointed with both his pink thumbs. + + "See, see!" and he laughed with delight, + "Pretty bird, pretty bird: here he comes!" + When the bird, with a bob of his head, + Made a peck at the baby's pink thumbs. + + Then the children called out with great glee, + "He thinks they are cherries, or plums, + Or pieces of apple; and so + He tries to eat baby's pink thumbs." + + "Poor birdie!" said mamma: "we know + That God for his creatures will care; + But he gives to his thoughtfuller ones + The pleasure of doing their share. + + "We softly will open the sash, + And scatter a handful of crumbs; + And, when birdie wants breakfast again, + He needn't peck baby's pink thumbs. + + "He may come day by day, if he will, + To a feast on the broad window-ledge, + And fly, when he's eaten his fill, + To his home in the evergreen hedge." + +OLIVE A. WADSWORTH. + + + + +ABOUT FLAX, BARLEY, AND RYE. + + +Arthur had been looking at some pictures in a book; but he did not quite +understand what they were: so he called on Uncle Oscar to explain. + +Uncle Oscar took him on his knee, and said, "This, Arthur, is a picture +of the flax-plant, a very useful plant indeed; for from it we make +linen. Your apron is linen: so are the collar and wristbands on my +shirt. + +"The flax-plant bears delicate blue flowers, which look very pretty +when in bloom. Flax is raised very largely in Kentucky, and other States +in the Union. Do you know what part of the plant is the stalk? I will +point it out to you in the picture. + +[Illustration: FLAX.] + +"Well, from this stalk the thread, or fibres, are got, out of which +linen cloth is made. The flax is pulled a little before the seeds are +ripe: it is stripped, and the stalks are soaked in water. The flax is +then dried, and broken and beaten till the threads, or fibres, of the +bark are fit for spinning. From the seeds, linseed-oil is made. + +"Is it not strange, Arthur, that out of the stalk of this little plant +should be made the nice white linen of your apron and my handkerchief?" + +Arthur thought it very strange. Then, pointing to another picture, he +said, "What's this, Uncle Oscar?" + +[Illustration: BARLEY.] + +"That, Arthur, is a picture of barley as it grows in the field. It +yields a very useful kind of grain. You have eaten it in soup, and also +boiled. Stripped of the husk, and rounded and polished in a mill, the +grains are pearly white; and then they are known as pearl-barley." + +"Here's another picture, Uncle Oscar." + +"Did you ever eat rye-bread, Arthur?" + +"Why, yes, Uncle Oscar! we had it for breakfast." + +Well, here is a picture of rye as it grows in the field. It is one of +the best of grain-bearing grasses. It will grow where the weather is +very cold. The straw is often worth almost as much as the grain. + +[Illustration: RYE.] + +"Rye grows on poor, light soils, which are altogether unfit for the +wheat out of which we make our white bread. Sometimes we mix rye-flour +with wheaten-flour, or with corn-meal, and so get a very good kind of +bread." + +"Can I plant some flax-seed, and barley, and rye?" asked Arthur. + +"Yes, my boy," said Uncle Oscar. "You shall have some to plant in your +garden next May. I think you will be pleased with the flax-plant, +because of its pretty blue-flower." + + + + +THE HARE WHO COULDN'T WAIT. + + + "There goes a hare," said Johnny to Max, + "Come, let us catch him: here are his tracks!" + But, while they were talking so wisely about it, + And Johnny was saying "We'll have him; don't doubt it," + Behind them the hare, with a jump and a spring, + Ran swift as a swallow could dart on the wing; + And Max and Johnny looked round too late, + While his speed said, "Excuse me, but I can't wait." + + + + +THE DRAWING-LESSON. + + +We give here another outline from Landseer for our little readers to +copy. Perhaps they would like to know something about Sir Edwin +Landseer. He was born in London, in 1803, and died less than two years +ago. + +He belonged to a family of artists. His father and elder brother were +skilful engravers. His brother Charles earned high rank as a painter. +But Edwin was the most famous of them all. + +While yet a child, no bigger than some of the young-readers of "The +Nursery," he showed a great taste for drawing. He had an especial +fondness for drawing animals. His father encouraged him by giving him +pictures to copy; and soon his skill in copying became so great that his +father took him into the fields, and taught him to draw animals from +life. + +In this way he soon acquired correct notions of color; and, at the age +of fourteen, he began to attract attention by his spirited paintings of +dogs, horses, and other animals. He continued to improve until he became +one of the most celebrated artists of his day. In 1850, he was knighted +by Queen Victoria, that is to say, he received the honorary title of +_Sir_ Edwin Landseer. + +Mr. Harrison Weir, whose name is well known to our readers, is another +English artist, who makes a specialty of the same department of art in +which Landseer became so famous. His sketches are remarkable for their +truth to nature, and many of them would do no discredit to Landseer +himself. + +Lay a piece of thin paper over the drawing-lesson, and trace the lines +of the picture. After a little practice, try to copy it without-tracing. + +[Illustration: From Sir Edwin Landseer's painting. In outline by Mr. +Harrison Weir, as a drawing lesson.] + + + + +A SMART HORSE. + + +One morning, when the men went to the stable, our horse, Jenny, was +missing from her stall. On looking around, they found her in another +room, eating meal out of a chest. + +Now, in order to do this thing, she must not only have untied her +halter, but have unfastened and opened a door, and raised the lid of the +chest; all of which were supposed to have been left safely closed. + +We thought that she could not have done it all, but that some careless +person had left the chest open, and the door unfastened. So Jenny was +led back to her stall and tied up; the lid of the chest was shut down, +and the door closed and fastened with a hook. + +About an hour afterwards, on entering the stable again, Madam Jenny was +found as before, with her nose deep in the meal-chest, munching away +with great relish. Then we _knew_ she must have unhooked and opened the +door, and raised the cover, as well as unhooked her halter. + +Do you not think she was pretty smart for a horse? Papa says it was more +smart than honest to steal meal in that way. But I suppose horses do not +know much about honesty. + +I liked Jenny all the better for her smartness, and I have made a great +pet of her since. As she is so fond of meal, I take care to give her so +much that she will not have to steal it. + +She comes to me when I call her; for she knows that I am her friend, and +she often gets an apple from my hand. She looks at me so kindly through +her great eyes, that I am sure she would thank me if she could speak. + +This is a real true story. MARY. + + + + +ABOUT SOME INDIANS. + + +Some boys and girls think Indians are dreadful beings; but my boy, +Vaughn, who is now more than three years old, thinks them a very good +sort of people. He was born in the Indian country, and is quite used to +them and their odd ways. + +He often used to stand in the doorway, and say, "How, how?" to them as +they passed by; and they would smile, and say, "How, how?" back again. +This is the Indian way of saying, "How do you do?" + +One day I was at work in the cellar, when I heard strange voices at the +front-door: so I went out to sec what was the matter. In front of the +house I found quite a number of Indian braves, with their squaws and +pappooses, all riding on sorry-looking ponies. + +They had drawn up before the house, and were trying to make Vaughn and +his mamma understand that they were thirsty. One of the braves had a dog +under his blanket; and the little fellow looked very queer as he poked +his head out, and watched us. I pointed the band to the town-well, a +short distance down the street; and they said, "Ugh!" and rode away in +Indian-file. + +Another day, an old Indian, with a nose like a young elephant's, rode up +to the drug-store, and asked, in Indian lingo, for some tobacco. The +druggist cut off a large slice of "black navy," and, stepping out on the +sidewalk, handed it to the happy old fellow, who, returning his thanks +by sundry nods and grunts, opened the folds of his blanket, and drew out +the most laughable tobacco-pouch you ever saw. As sure as you live, it +was a whole skunk-skin, with jaws, teeth, ears, and all! + +Just as he was about to drive away, the lady-teacher and a drove of boys +and girls came pouring out of the school-room. The Indian looked a +little blank, and, glancing first at the lady and then at the children, +remarked admiringly, "Heap squaw! heap pappoose!" (The innocent old wild +gentleman had taken them all for one family). + +A chief with his two squaws and two pappooses were coaxed into a +picture-car, one day, to be photographed. They seemed afraid of the +three-legged animal with the round glass eye; but, at last, one of the +squaws was induced to take her seat, baby in arms. The baby bawled +lustily, till I quieted him by jingling a bunch of keys, while the +artist got the focus. + +Then I glanced through the camera, and the sight was so pretty and +queer, that I induced the chief to take a peep; and when he saw the very +minute copy of his spouse and child, standing on their heads, he nearly +shook himself to pieces with silent laughter. + +VAUGHN'S PAPA. + + + + +THE FIRST-COMER. + + + The drift by the gateway is dingy and low; + And half of yon hillside is free from the snow: + Among the dead rushes the brook's flowing now. + And here's Pussy Willow again on the bough! + + "Hi, ho, Pussy Willow! Say, why are you here?" + "I've brought you a message: 'The Summer is near! + All through the long winter, uneasy I've slept: + To hear the wild March wind, half listening, I kept. + + "Loud blew his shrill whistle, and up and awake, + My brown cloak from off me I've ventured to shake; + Thrice happy in being the first one to say, + 'Rejoice, for the Summer is now on her way!' + + "The moss-hidden Mayflowers will blossom ere long, + And gay robin redbreast be trilling a song: + But, always before them, I'm sure to be here: + 'Tis first Pussy Willow says, 'Summer is near!'" + +MARIAN DOUGLAS + + + + +WIDE AWAKE. + + +"Jump up Johnny," said his mother. "It is seven o'clock, and breakfast +will be ready soon. The sun was up half-an-hour ago. The birds are +singing, and the sky is bright." John sprang out of bed at once, and was +soon washed. Then he put on his clothes, and brushed his hair. + +He went down stairs looking as neat as a new pin. + +As he was going to school that day, he saw a poor woman with a baby in +her arms. She sat on a door-step, and was pale and hungry. John put his +hand into his pocket, took some money out, and gave it to her. She +thanked him. + +John then went to school, where he said his lesson; when school was +done, he played at ball till dinner-time. + +A.B.C. + + + + +THE FIRST ATTEMPT. + + +Alfred has drawn a great many straight lines and houses and dogs and +cats; but this is the first time he has tried to draw a man.

The Cataract of Lodore is near Keswick, Cumberland County, +England. Robert Southey died in the year 1813.] + + + + +BOILING MAPLE-SUGAR. + + +Most of the sugar we use is made from the sugar-cane, which grows in +warm countries. But in France they make a good deal of sugar from beets; +and in North America, where the sugar-maple-tree grows, some very nice +sugar is made from its sap. + +Early in spring, while the weather is yet cold, and before the trees +have begun to show many signs of life, it is the time for tapping the +maples. + +The sun, which has already begun to make his power felt by melting the +snow, and leaving great green patches here and there on the cleared +lands, has kissed the rugged trunks of the trees, and has set the sweet +sap mounting through every vein and tissue. + +Now is the time to set the troughs in order, and to bore the holes for +the little spouts through which the juice must run. These must be made a +foot from the ground, on the sunny side of the tree; and very soon the +drip, drip, of the oozing sap will be heard, as it trickles over the +spout into the rough bowls placed to catch it at the foot of every +maple. + +As each trough fills, the juice is poured, first into a large barrel, +and from thence, when all is ready, into the great iron pot, or caldron, +slung over the wood-fire on three poles. + +In the picture, you may see three brothers, with their two sisters, +engaged in collecting the sap, and boiling it till it can be cooled as +sugar. If you will look sharp, you can see little bowls placed at the +root of some of the trees, and the sap flowing into them. + +A syrup is made from the sap, which is very delicate, and is much used +for buckwheat-cakes. A large quantity of maple-sugar is made every year +in the northern part of the United States, and in Canada. But it cannot +be made so as to compete with the sugar of the sugar-cane in cheapness. + +UNCLE CHARLES. + + + + +THE STOLEN BIRD'S-NEST. + + +Once there were two little sparrows who built for themselves a nest on a +small tree by the wayside. The mother-bird laid four little eggs in it; +and there she sat, while her mate chirped merrily on a tree near by, +till, one fine day in May, four little sparrows were hatched. + +How glad the parent-birds were! and how they flew round to get food for +their little ones! They were willing almost to starve themselves, so +that their children might not suffer from want. + +Oh, what hungry children they were! How they would stretch out their +necks, and open their bills for food, as father and mother drew near to +feed them! And what queer little noises they would make, as if they were +saying, "Feed _me_ first! Oh, give _me_ that nice little worm! No, _I_ +am the hungriest, give it to _me_! Me first! Me first!" + +But the parent-birds seemed to know which of the children had not had a +full share; for they would always give it to those who needed it most. + +But one day, one sad day, a man came by with his cart, and, seeing the +nest, took it with all the little birdies, and placed it on some straw +in his cart. + +The parent-birds, wild with grief, flew round and round, but it was of +no use. Then they followed the cart, and continued to feed their young +as well as they could, though the cart was in motion. + +But a little girl, whose name was Laura, and who was taking a walk with +her mother, saw the man remove the nest, and at once made up her mind to +try and get it away from him. + +So she went up, and asked him if he would let her have the nest, if she +paid him for it. The man seemed a little ashamed when he saw Laura and +her mother; and he replied, "Well, little girl, it didn't cost me any +thing, and so you may have it for nothing." + +"Oh, I thank you ever so much!" cried Laura. So she took the nest, with +the birdies in it; and then she and her mother found a safe place in the +notch of a tree, hidden from the road, and there they placed it. + +Then they walked away, and stood at a distance, and watched till they +saw the parent-birds fly down from a high branch to their own nest, and +again begin to feed their little ones. How they twittered and chirped +with joy! The feeling that she had made the birds happy made Laura happy +too. + +Every day, for a week, she came to see how the little family were +getting on. On the eighth day the nest was empty. They had all flown +away. + +EMILY CARTER + + + + +THE FIRST BLUE-BIRD. + + + Gold-Locks thought just now, + Out on the apple-bough + Had fallen a bit of the sky. + "Blue it is; oh, blue! + And large as my hand," she cried. + Ah, what a wonder-eyed + Dear happy heart are you, + With all the world so new, + So bright, because untried! + + Out I hurried to see + What the bit of sky might be, + When a tender piping note, + Soft as a flute, I heard; + And there upon a bough, + Wintry and bare till now, + In a sky-colored coat, + Trying his little throat, + Was perched the first blue-bird. + +CLARA DOTY BATES. + + + + +THE LITTLE BIRD. + +Words by LORD LYTTON. + +Music by T.

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.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +Section 3.

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://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + +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://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/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. + +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. + |
