There were yards and yards of sandy passages, +leading to storerooms and nut-cellars and seed-cellars, all amongst the +roots of the hedge. + +[Illustration: In the pantry] + +[Illustration: In bed] + +There was a kitchen, a parlour, a pantry, and a larder. + +Also, there was Mrs. Tittlemouse's bedroom, where she slept in a little +box bed! + +Mrs. Tittlemouse was a most terribly tidy particular little mouse, +always sweeping and dusting the soft sandy floors. + +Sometimes a beetle lost its way in the passages. + +"Shuh! shuh! little dirty feet!" said Mrs. Tittlemouse, clattering her +dust-pan. + +[Illustration: Shooing a beetle] + +[Illustration: A ladybird] + +And one day a little old woman ran up and down in a red spotty cloak. + +"Your house is on fire, Mother Ladybird! Fly away home to your +children!" + +Another day, a big fat spider came in to shelter from the rain. + +"Beg pardon, is this not Miss Muffet's?" + +"Go away, you bold bad spider! Leaving ends of cobweb all over my nice +clean house!" + +[Illustration: Spider] + +[Illustration: Out the window] + +She bundled the spider out at a window. + +He let himself down the hedge with a long thin bit of string. + +Mrs. Tittlemouse went on her way to a distant storeroom, to fetch +cherry-stones and thistle-down seed for dinner. + +All along the passage she sniffed, and looked at the floor. + +"I smell a smell of honey; is it the cowslips outside, in the hedge? I +am sure I can see the marks of little dirty feet." + +[Illustration: Marks of little feet] + +[Illustration: Babbitty Bumble] + +Suddenly round a corner, she met Babbitty Bumble--"Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz!" +said the bumble bee. + +Mrs. Tittlemouse looked at her severely. She wished that she had a +broom. + +"Good-day, Babbitty Bumble; I should be glad to buy some beeswax. But +what are you doing down here? Why do you always come in at a window, and +say Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz?" Mrs. Tittlemouse began to get cross. + +"Zizz, Wizz, Wizzz!" replied Babbitty Bumble in a peevish squeak. She +sidled down a passage, and disappeared into a storeroom which had been +used for acorns. + +Mrs. Tittlemouse had eaten the acorns before Christmas; the storeroom +ought to have been empty. + +But it was full of untidy dry moss. + +[Illustration: Full of moss] + +[Illustration: Bees nest] + +Mrs. Tittlemouse began to pull out the moss. Three or four other bees +put their heads out, and buzzed fiercely. + +"I am not in the habit of letting lodgings; this is an intrusion!" said +Mrs. Tittlemouse. "I will have them turned out--" "Buzz! Buzz! +Buzzz!"--"I wonder who would help me?" "Bizz, Wizz, Wizzz!" + +--"I will not have Mr. Jackson; he never wipes his feet." + +Mrs. Tittlemouse decided to leave the bees till after dinner. + +When she got back to the parlour, she heard some one coughing in a fat +voice; and there sat Mr. Jackson himself! + +He was sitting all over a small rocking-chair, twiddling his thumbs and +smiling, with his feet on the fender. + +He lived in a drain below the hedge, in a very dirty wet ditch. + +[Illustration: Mr. Jackson] + +[Illustration: Sitting and dripping] + +"How do you do, Mr. Jackson? Deary me, you have got very wet!" + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! I'll sit awhile and +dry myself," said Mr. Jackson. + +He sat and smiled, and the water dripped off his coat tails. Mrs. +Tittlemouse went round with a mop. + +He sat such a while that he had to be asked if he would take some +dinner? + +First she offered him cherry-stones. "Thank you, thank you, Mrs. +Tittlemouse! No teeth, no teeth, no teeth!" said Mr. Jackson. + +He opened his mouth most unnecessarily wide; he certainly had not a +tooth in his head. + +[Illustration: Feeding Mr. Jackson] + +[Illustration: Thistledown] + +Then she offered him thistle-down seed--"Tiddly, widdly, widdly! Pouff, +pouff, puff!" said Mr. Jackson. He blew the thistle-down all over the +room. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! Now what I +really--_really_ should like--would be a little dish of honey!" + +"I am afraid I have not got any, Mr. Jackson," said Mrs. Tittlemouse. + +"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!" said the smiling Mr. +Jackson, "I can _smell_ it; that is why I came to call." + +Mr. Jackson rose ponderously from the table, and began to look into the +cupboards. + +Mrs. Tittlemouse followed him with a dish-cloth, to wipe his large wet +footmarks off the parlour floor. + +[Illustration: Wiping up footmarks] + +[Illustration: Walking down the passage] + +When he had convinced himself that there was no honey in the cupboards, +he began to walk down the passage. + +"Indeed, indeed, you will stick fast, Mr. Jackson!" + +"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!" + +First he squeezed into the pantry. + +"Tiddly, widdly, widdly? no honey? no honey, Mrs. Tittlemouse?" + +There were three creepy-crawly people hiding in the plate-rack. Two of +them got away; but the littlest one he caught. + +[Illustration: Creepy-crawly people] + +[Illustration: Butterfly tasting the sugar] + +Then he squeezed into the larder. Miss Butterfly was tasting the sugar; +but she flew away out of the window. + +"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse; you seem to have plenty of +visitors!" + +"And without any invitation!" said Mrs. Thomasina Tittlemouse. + +They went along the sandy passage--"Tiddly widdly--" "Buzz! Wizz! Wizz!" + +He met Babbitty round a corner, and snapped her up, and put her down +again. + +"I do not like bumble bees. They are all over bristles," said Mr. +Jackson, wiping his mouth with his coat-sleeve. + +"Get out, you nasty old toad!" shrieked Babbitty Bumble. + +"I shall go distracted!" scolded Mrs. Tittlemouse. + +[Illustration: Confronting the Bee] + +[Illustration: Shut into the nut-cellar] + +She shut herself up in the nut-cellar while Mr. Jackson pulled out the +bees-nest. He seemed to have no objection to stings. + +When Mrs. Tittlemouse ventured to come out--everybody had gone away. + +But the untidiness was something dreadful--"Never did I see such a +mess--smears of honey; and moss, and thistledown--and marks of big and +little dirty feet--all over my nice clean house!" + +She gathered up the moss and the remains of the beeswax. + +Then she went out and fetched some twigs, to partly close up the front +door. + +"I will make it too small for Mr. Jackson!" + +[Illustration: Closing up the front door] + +[Illustration: Too tired] + +She fetched soft soap, and flannel, and a new scrubbing brush from the +storeroom. But she was too tired to do any more. First she fell asleep +in her chair, and then she went to bed. + +"Will it ever be tidy again?" said poor Mrs. Tittlemouse. + +Next morning she got up very early and began a spring cleaning which +lasted a fortnight. + +She swept, and scrubbed, and dusted; and she rubbed up the furniture +with beeswax, and polished her little tin spoons. + +[Illustration: Polishing] + +When it was all beautifully neat and clean, she gave a party to five +other little mice, without Mr. Jackson. + +He smelt the party and came up the bank, but he could not squeeze in at +the door. + +[Illustration: The party] + +[Illustration: Honey-dew through the window] + +So they handed him out acorn-cupfuls of honey-dew through the window, +and he was not at all offended. + +He sat outside in the sun, and said--"Tiddly, widdly, widdly! Your very +good health, Mrs. Tittlemouse!" + + +THE END + + * * * * * + +Transcriber's Note: Punctuation normalized and captions added to +illustrations. + + + + + +End of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse, by Beatrix Potter + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF MRS.

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. + + +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. diff --git a/17089-8.zip b/17089-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..a44277f --- /dev/null +++ b/17089-8.zip diff --git a/17089-h.zip b/17089-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..99db10e --- /dev/null +++ b/17089-h.zip diff --git a/17089-h/17089-h.htm b/17089-h/17089-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..67acb3f --- /dev/null +++ b/17089-h/17089-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,1051 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> + +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> + <head> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" /> + <title> + The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse, by Beatrix Potter. + </title> + <style type="text/css"> +/*<![CDATA[ XML blockout */ +<!-- + p {margin-top: .75em; + text-align: justify; + text-indent: 1.25em; + margin-bottom: .75em; + } + img {border: 0;} + .tnote {border: dashed 1px; margin-left: 20%; margin-right: 20%;padding-bottom: .5em; padding-top: .5em; + padding-left: .5em; padding-right: .5em; text-align: center;} + .right {text-align: right;} + + h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 { + text-align: center; /* all headings centered */ + clear: both; + } + hr { width: 33%; + margin-top: 2em; + margin-bottom: 2em; + margin-left: auto; + margin-right: auto; + clear: both; + } + + table {margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;} + + body{margin-left: 10%; + margin-right: 10%; + } + + .pagenum { /* uncomment the next line for invisible page numbers */ + visibility: hidden; + position: absolute; + left: 92%; + font-size: smaller; + text-align: right; + } /* page numbers */ + .blockquot{margin-left: 5%; margin-right: 10%;} + + .bb {border-bottom: solid 2px;} + .bl {border-left: solid 2px;} + .bt {border-top: solid 2px;} + .br {border-right: solid 2px;} + .bbox {border: solid 2px;} + + .center {text-align: center;} + .smcap {font-variant: small-caps;} + + .caption {font-weight: bold;} + + .figcenter {margin: auto; text-align: center;} + + .figleft {float: left; clear: left; margin-left: 0; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: + 1em; margin-right: 1em; padding: 0; text-align: center;} + + .figright {float: right; clear: right; margin-left: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; + margin-top: 1em; margin-right: 0; padding: 0; text-align: center;} + + // --> + /* XML end ]]>*/ + </style> + </head> +<body> + + +<pre> + +Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse, by Beatrix Potter + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

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. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org.

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. + + +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. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/17089-h/images/04.jpg b/17089-h/images/04.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index

There were yards and yards of sandy passages, +leading to storerooms and nut-cellars and seed-cellars, all amongst the +roots of the hedge. + +[Illustration: In the pantry] + +[Illustration: In bed] + +There was a kitchen, a parlour, a pantry, and a larder. + +Also, there was Mrs. Tittlemouse's bedroom, where she slept in a little +box bed! + +Mrs. Tittlemouse was a most terribly tidy particular little mouse, +always sweeping and dusting the soft sandy floors. + +Sometimes a beetle lost its way in the passages. + +"Shuh! shuh! little dirty feet!" said Mrs. Tittlemouse, clattering her +dust-pan. + +[Illustration: Shooing a beetle] + +[Illustration: A ladybird] + +And one day a little old woman ran up and down in a red spotty cloak. + +"Your house is on fire, Mother Ladybird! Fly away home to your +children!" + +Another day, a big fat spider came in to shelter from the rain. + +"Beg pardon, is this not Miss Muffet's?" + +"Go away, you bold bad spider! Leaving ends of cobweb all over my nice +clean house!" + +[Illustration: Spider] + +[Illustration: Out the window] + +She bundled the spider out at a window. + +He let himself down the hedge with a long thin bit of string. + +Mrs. Tittlemouse went on her way to a distant storeroom, to fetch +cherry-stones and thistle-down seed for dinner. + +All along the passage she sniffed, and looked at the floor. + +"I smell a smell of honey; is it the cowslips outside, in the hedge? I +am sure I can see the marks of little dirty feet." + +[Illustration: Marks of little feet] + +[Illustration: Babbitty Bumble] + +Suddenly round a corner, she met Babbitty Bumble--"Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz!" +said the bumble bee. + +Mrs. Tittlemouse looked at her severely. She wished that she had a +broom. + +"Good-day, Babbitty Bumble; I should be glad to buy some beeswax. But +what are you doing down here? Why do you always come in at a window, and +say Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz?" Mrs. Tittlemouse began to get cross. + +"Zizz, Wizz, Wizzz!" replied Babbitty Bumble in a peevish squeak. She +sidled down a passage, and disappeared into a storeroom which had been +used for acorns. + +Mrs. Tittlemouse had eaten the acorns before Christmas; the storeroom +ought to have been empty. + +But it was full of untidy dry moss. + +[Illustration: Full of moss] + +[Illustration: Bees nest] + +Mrs. Tittlemouse began to pull out the moss. Three or four other bees +put their heads out, and buzzed fiercely. + +"I am not in the habit of letting lodgings; this is an intrusion!" said +Mrs. Tittlemouse. "I will have them turned out--" "Buzz! Buzz! +Buzzz!"--"I wonder who would help me?" "Bizz, Wizz, Wizzz!" + +--"I will not have Mr. Jackson; he never wipes his feet." + +Mrs. Tittlemouse decided to leave the bees till after dinner. + +When she got back to the parlour, she heard some one coughing in a fat +voice; and there sat Mr. Jackson himself! + +He was sitting all over a small rocking-chair, twiddling his thumbs and +smiling, with his feet on the fender. + +He lived in a drain below the hedge, in a very dirty wet ditch. + +[Illustration: Mr. Jackson] + +[Illustration: Sitting and dripping] + +"How do you do, Mr. Jackson? Deary me, you have got very wet!" + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! I'll sit awhile and +dry myself," said Mr. Jackson. + +He sat and smiled, and the water dripped off his coat tails. Mrs. +Tittlemouse went round with a mop. + +He sat such a while that he had to be asked if he would take some +dinner? + +First she offered him cherry-stones. "Thank you, thank you, Mrs. +Tittlemouse! No teeth, no teeth, no teeth!" said Mr. Jackson. + +He opened his mouth most unnecessarily wide; he certainly had not a +tooth in his head. + +[Illustration: Feeding Mr. Jackson] + +[Illustration: Thistledown] + +Then she offered him thistle-down seed--"Tiddly, widdly, widdly! Pouff, +pouff, puff!" said Mr. Jackson. He blew the thistle-down all over the +room. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! Now what I +really--_really_ should like--would be a little dish of honey!" + +"I am afraid I have not got any, Mr. Jackson," said Mrs. Tittlemouse. + +"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!" said the smiling Mr. +Jackson, "I can _smell_ it; that is why I came to call." + +Mr. Jackson rose ponderously from the table, and began to look into the +cupboards. + +Mrs. Tittlemouse followed him with a dish-cloth, to wipe his large wet +footmarks off the parlour floor. + +[Illustration: Wiping up footmarks] + +[Illustration: Walking down the passage] + +When he had convinced himself that there was no honey in the cupboards, +he began to walk down the passage. + +"Indeed, indeed, you will stick fast, Mr. Jackson!" + +"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse!" + +First he squeezed into the pantry. + +"Tiddly, widdly, widdly? no honey? no honey, Mrs. Tittlemouse?" + +There were three creepy-crawly people hiding in the plate-rack. Two of +them got away; but the littlest one he caught. + +[Illustration: Creepy-crawly people] + +[Illustration: Butterfly tasting the sugar] + +Then he squeezed into the larder. Miss Butterfly was tasting the sugar; +but she flew away out of the window. + +"Tiddly, widdly, widdly, Mrs. Tittlemouse; you seem to have plenty of +visitors!" + +"And without any invitation!" said Mrs. Thomasina Tittlemouse. + +They went along the sandy passage--"Tiddly widdly--" "Buzz! Wizz! Wizz!" + +He met Babbitty round a corner, and snapped her up, and put her down +again. + +"I do not like bumble bees. They are all over bristles," said Mr. +Jackson, wiping his mouth with his coat-sleeve. + +"Get out, you nasty old toad!" shrieked Babbitty Bumble. + +"I shall go distracted!" scolded Mrs. Tittlemouse. + +[Illustration: Confronting the Bee] + +[Illustration: Shut into the nut-cellar] + +She shut herself up in the nut-cellar while Mr. Jackson pulled out the +bees-nest. He seemed to have no objection to stings. + +When Mrs. Tittlemouse ventured to come out--everybody had gone away. + +But the untidiness was something dreadful--"Never did I see such a +mess--smears of honey; and moss, and thistledown--and marks of big and +little dirty feet--all over my nice clean house!" + +She gathered up the moss and the remains of the beeswax. + +Then she went out and fetched some twigs, to partly close up the front +door. + +"I will make it too small for Mr. Jackson!" + +[Illustration: Closing up the front door] + +[Illustration: Too tired] + +She fetched soft soap, and flannel, and a new scrubbing brush from the +storeroom. But she was too tired to do any more. First she fell asleep +in her chair, and then she went to bed. + +"Will it ever be tidy again?" said poor Mrs. Tittlemouse. + +Next morning she got up very early and began a spring cleaning which +lasted a fortnight. + +She swept, and scrubbed, and dusted; and she rubbed up the furniture +with beeswax, and polished her little tin spoons. + +[Illustration: Polishing] + +When it was all beautifully neat and clean, she gave a party to five +other little mice, without Mr. Jackson. + +He smelt the party and came up the bank, but he could not squeeze in at +the door. + +[Illustration: The party] + +[Illustration: Honey-dew through the window] + +So they handed him out acorn-cupfuls of honey-dew through the window, +and he was not at all offended. + +He sat outside in the sun, and said--"Tiddly, widdly, widdly! Your very +good health, Mrs. Tittlemouse!" + + +THE END + + * * * * * + +Transcriber's Note: Punctuation normalized and captions added to +illustrations. + + + + + +End of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse, by Beatrix Potter + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF MRS.

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.
