+THE BROCHURE SERIES
+
+OF ARCHITECTURAL ILLUSTRATION.
+
+
+VOL. I. APRIL, 1895. No. 4.
+
+
+BYZANTINE-ROMANESQUE WINDOWS IN
+SOUTHERN ITALY.
+
+
+The collection of photographs from which the plates in this and the
+February number were selected was only recently made under the direction
+of Signor Boni, an official of the Italian government, charged with the
+care and restoration of historic monuments.
+
+The province of Apulia has been so little invaded by the march of modern
+improvement, and its present inhabitants are, as a rule, so poor, that
+it is difficult to travel here except on the line of a few main
+thoroughfares, and strangers seldom visit more than one or two of the
+principal towns on the coast. Bari and Brindisi are known to tourists,
+as they are in the line of travel to and from Greece, but the inland
+towns are isolated in a barren priest-ridden country in which strangers
+are not welcome. The hardships which it is necessary to face deter all
+but the most adventurous even of the Italians, familiar with the
+language and manners of the people. Architects seldom visit this
+neighborhood, and little is known of its rich treasure of mediaeval
+buildings, except through the few published works treating of it. Signor
+Boni expressed himself as surprised at the great amount of beautiful
+work scattered through this region, of which he previously had no
+knowledge. The opinion of Fergusson has already been quoted in the
+preceding article.
+
+The mixture in the work here illustrated of Byzantine and Romanesque
+elements has also been referred to in the preceding article, but the
+special characteristics of each style were not particularly pointed out.
+In the present consideration the peculiarities of detail and ornament
+are all that need be taken up, as the views given furnish no opportunity
+for the study of plan or general design. The derivation of the Byzantine
+style was indicated in the March number of THE BROCHURE SERIES in
+describing the Ravenna capitals there illustrated.
+
+Byzantine conventional ornament appears to be of two types,--the one
+usually used in mosaics, of thin scrolls, terminating in flowers or
+symbols, displayed upon a ground which is much greater in quantity than
+is the ornament; the other, usually confined to sculpture, an intricate
+interlace of ribbon lines with spaces filled with Byzantine acanthus,
+the ornament much greater in proportion than the ground, which only
+shows in small separate pieces. Apart from these are the borders,
+occasionally of overlapping leaves, often of small repeated units, such
+as Greek crosses and squares and diamonds, or else meanders or
+guilloches. The guilloche takes a new form in Byzantine design, and
+instead of being a continuous succession of small circles enclosed in an
+interlacing ribbon, it assumes the form of alternating small and large
+circles, or of small circles alternating with large squares, and often
+progressing in both directions at once, horizontally and
+perpendicularly, and thus forming an all-over pattern. The roses of
+ornament are often incorporated into this form of guilloche. Sculpture
+of the human form becomes more and more feeble and crude. The acanthus,
+however, went steadily through successive variation until it attained
+the virile form seen in the best Byzantine work. It is no longer the
+olive type of the Romans, or the heavy, stupid leaf of the earlier
+centuries of the Christian era, but has again turned towards the
+sharp-pointed, vigorous leaf of the Greeks. Its lobes are divided into
+three or five tines, each sharp at the tip; its centre lines, radiating
+from a central stem, bend like flames; its surfaces are concave, with
+deep V cutting, and it has one very marked peculiarity, that is, that as
+far as possible no tine is left displayed alone on the ground, but the
+tip of each is made to touch either the tip of a neighboring tine or the
+ribbon or moulding bounding the space in which the ornament occurs. The
+tines are of nearly equal size throughout, and the spaces of ground left
+by the ornament are also of comparatively equal size, and if possible
+symmetrically grouped. The one almost universal moulding is decorated
+with acanthus units, and the capitals have acanthus leaves around their
+bells. These caps are of two types. One, that is manifestly an
+adaptation of a classic cap, is a union of an Ionic and a Corinthian, or
+at other times of a Roman Doric and a Corinthian capital. The other is
+peculiar to Byzantine work, and is that shown in Plates XXI. to XXIV. in
+the last number. This cap, as at S. Vitale, is often supplemented by
+another plainer cap above. The lower cap has its faces decorated with
+scrolls, acanthus wreaths, etc., and usually the corners are
+strengthened with a decorative unit, leaf or other motive.
+
+The difference between the Byzantine and the Romanesque arises from the
+differences of the races and their environments. The art of seaport
+towns, when Commerce was most largely carried on by sea, much more
+nearly resembled the art of some great commercial centre on the
+seaboard than it did that of its own neighbors inland.
+
+The art of the seaboard cities in Europe was, then, for many years a
+borrowed art from the East, as their people were to great extent Eastern
+colonists. It was carried on with a full knowledge of constructive
+methods, and a facility in obtaining materials that the inland towns did
+not possess; and in consequence it is along the seaboard that is to be
+found the persistence of the Byzantine influence. On the other hand, the
+interior was peopled by descendants of Ostrogothic tribes mingling with
+numberless local peoples. Whatever they touch is necessarily crude at
+first, but constantly gaining as they gain facility in working. A
+precedent of some kind they must have, and they find it close at hand in
+the Roman basilicas. Uncertain, from the result of woful experiments, of
+arches of great span, they pack their columns close together and
+surmount them with sturdy little arches that have scarcely any thrust.
+This arcade of heavy columns carrying absurdly disproportionate arches
+is their only motive, and applied inside between aisles and nave, and
+outside in successive stories rising one above another. As the masons
+begin better to understand their art, the span of the arch increases,
+though a large arch for some time does duty merely as a discharging
+arch, and has smaller arches beneath and within it. The capitals, at
+first crude imitations of classic prototypes, soon become the field for
+the grotesque imagination of the workmen, and each differs from the
+other and is a mass of light and shade shot with all sorts of uncouth
+fancies. Wherever, for some constructive reason, a column is omitted
+against a wall, the capital becomes a corbel, carrying the arches. In
+many cases the corbels alone are used, and an arcaded corbel course
+becomes the favorite termination of a wall in the place of a classic
+entablature. Finally the arches are omitted, and the corbels alone
+support the eaves.
+
+It will be noticed that while the Byzantine decorated the interior of
+the churches, the Romanesque builder merely constructed the interior and
+wrought out the most of his design upon the facade. As a large arch was
+to him for a long time a _tour de force_, he naturally beautified the
+necessarily large entrance, and the beginning of the development of the
+beautiful Gothic portals is seen in the early Romanesque churches.
+
+The Romanesque is an architecture of inertia, with arches heavily
+weighted by great masses of wall, and with broadly contrasting masses of
+light and shade. It does not depend for its effect upon intellectual
+quality beyond a rigorous sense of simplicity, or upon refinement of
+conception or detail, but rather upon size, picturesque mass, and
+staccato light and shade. The proportion of capital to column in
+quantity of surface was very slight. The proportion of voussoirs to
+arches naturally depended upon the size of the arch,--large voussoirs to
+large arches, small voussoirs to small arches. Columns were only grouped
+around piers and on either side of openings; and lastly, the natural
+development of the column in Romanesque work was toward
+attenuation,--the later and the better the work, the more slender became
+the columns, until at last they were merged into the Gothic
+multiple-columned piers. The carving upon the arch-mouldings is, to a
+great extent, geometric, consisting of numerous facets cut in the stone,
+lozenges, etc.; the so-called dogtooth moulding is a very favorite form
+of decoration. All these carved mouldings were picked out in color,
+usually in red and green. The acanthus in the Romanesque has lost much
+of its vigor, is flat, heavy-tipped, round-edged, and scratched with
+V-cuts, and the vine is the leaf preferred by designers. Frequently
+masses of wall are cut in geometric diaper patterns, also touched with
+color. Borders are not broad; and circular forms, except in the arches,
+are seldom used. Romanesque was a barbaric art at the best, and has the
+usual virtue of the barbarian,--a directness of attack at the problem in
+hand and a simplicity in treating it which is invigorating to see.

+
+
+XXV. and XXVI.
+
+WINDOWS IN THE CHURCH OF S. TERESIA, TRANI, ITALY.
+
+These two windows have very little to suggest Byzantine influence in
+their design. The form and detail are essentially Romanesque, although
+there is a certain crispness and piquancy of treatment in the first
+(Plate XXV.) which belongs to the Byzantine work.

+
+
+[Illustration: XXVII. Window in the Facade of the Basilica at Altamura,
+Italy.]
+
+
+XXVII.
+
+WINDOW IN THE FACADE OF THE BASILICA AT ALTAMURA, ITALY.
+
+The employment of grotesque beasts supporting the columns at each side
+of this window is a very common device in the Italian Romanesque work.
+The use of a reversed capital in place of a base for the centre column
+is also a peculiar treatment frequently found in Romanesque work.
+
+
+
+
+[Illustration: XXVIII. Windows in the Facade of S. Gregorio, Bari,
+Italy.]
+
+

+
+WINDOWS IN THE FACADE OF S. GREGORIO, BARI, ITALY.

+[Illustration: XXIX. Triforium Window in the Church of S. Gregorio,
+Bari, Italy.]
+
+
+XXIX.
+
+TRIFORIUM WINDOW IN THE CHURCH OF S. GREGORIO, BARI, ITALY.
+
+The Byzantine architects used pierced stonework with great effect both
+in exterior and interior detail. The examples here shown are rather
+crude, but effective in the relative scale of parts.
+
+
+
+
+[Illustration: XXX. Window in the Apse of the Cathedral, Bari, Italy.]
+
+
+XXX.
+
+WINDOW IN THE APSE OF THE CATHEDRAL, BARI, ITALY.
+
+The ornament about this window, especially that in the long panel below
+it and upon the cyma of the soffit above, is Byzantine in character,
+while the columns, with the exception of the capital of the one at the
+left, are much more Romanesque.
+
+
+
+
+[Illustration: XXXI. A Window in Bittonto, Italy.]
+
+
+XXXI.
+
+A WINDOW IN BITTONTO, ITALY.
+
+This is not an especially beautiful example, but is an illustration of
+the direct and vigorous treatment of the early barbarian Romanesque
+builders.
+

+
+[Illustration: XXXII. Window in the Apse of the Cathedral, Bittonto,
+Italy.]
+
+
+XXXII.
+
+WINDOW IN THE APSE OF THE CATHEDRAL, BITTONTO, ITALY.
+
+In this case the beautiful and delicate Byzantine leafage can be seen on
+the mouldings of the arch above the window. As in several of the
+preceding examples, there is a curious mixture of the two styles.

+
+The judges in the recent competition for the Rotch Travelling
+Scholarship, Messrs. Cass Gilbert, George B. Post, and Frank Miles Day,
+have awarded the scholarship to William S. Aldrich. Mr. Aldrich has
+taken the examinations this year for the first time, although several of
+his unsuccessful rivals for the honor have entered before in years past.
+He has been for some time in the office of Mr. C. H. Blackall, and has
+been engaged upon important work, such as the new Tremont Temple, which
+is now approaching completion.
+
+In 1884 he entered the Department of Architecture at the Massachusetts
+Institute of Technology, and completed the two years' special course in
+1887, and then went to the office of Mr. John Calvin Stevens in
+Portland, Me. He afterwards worked in the Boston office of McKim, Mead &
+White, and in the office of Peabody & Stearns, where he was engaged upon
+the drawings for the buildings at the World's Fair. As will be seen, he
+has had a varied experience and is well equipped to make the best use of
+his opportunities for the next two years.
+
+It has been the custom in recent years with the winners of the
+scholarship to delay their departure until midsummer or early fall, but
+Mr. Aldrich proposes to start in June. His plan of work has not yet been
+entirely fixed, but he will probably spend a large part of his time in
+Italy, working in conjunction with the American atelier at Rome.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+The three other scholarships in which the same problem in design was
+employed have also been awarded. For the McKim Fellowship of Columbia
+College ten designs were submitted. The award was made to Mr. John
+Russell Pope of New York, a graduate from the school in the class of
+1894. The Roman Scholarship was also awarded to Mr. Pope. In the
+competition for the latter twenty-three designs were entered, and
+besides the first award honorable mention was given to Mr. Henry E.
+Emery of Nyack, N. Y., Mr. Fellows of Chicago, and Mr. Bossange and Mr.
+Ayres of New York, graduates of Columbia College, and to Mr. Percy Ash
+of Philadelphia.
+
+In the University of Pennsylvania Scholarship in Architecture there were
+six competitors, and the award was made to Mr. Percy Ash, a graduate of
+the University. Mr. Ash has also had several years' practical experience
+in the best offices of Philadelphia, such as those of Cope & Stewardson
+and Frank Miles Day & Bro.
+
+Mr. H. L. Duhring, Jr., of the Senior class in the University, was given
+second place.

+
+The _American Architect_, in an interesting notice of the recent
+exhibition of the Boston Society of Architects and Boston Architectural
+Club, takes the occasion to comment unfavorably upon the disfigurement
+of the catalogue by advertisements, which it says are "most excellent
+things in their proper place, but wholly out of place in an exhibition
+catalogue." Why this is so it is hard to see, unless the _Architect_
+believes that there is not advertising enough to go round, and that it
+should all be reserved for the trade and professional papers. At all
+events this is "kicking against the pricks," for it is well known that
+the expenses of such exhibitions cannot be met without some outside
+assistance, and the most feasible plan that has been found for making
+both ends meet is to interest the dealers in materials used in the
+buildings represented in the exhibitions. As these dealers are seldom
+named on the drawings exhibited, it seems proper that some return should
+be made for their most valuable assistance, without which the exhibition
+would not be possible.
+
+The _Architect_ further says: "The position taken by the St. Louis
+Chapter A. I. A. was the proper and dignified one, and it ought to be
+followed elsewhere. The catalogue of their recent exhibition, although a
+much more costly one than either the Boston or the League catalogue,
+contains not a line of advertising matter." This is certainly an amusing
+misstatement. Instead of "not a line," this catalogue has more space
+devoted to advertising than any of the others mentioned. What it would
+have been without its sixty-four pages of advertising, yielding an
+income of at least $50 a page, we leave others to figure out. Some of
+these pages we should prefer to see treated differently, as they do
+detract from the illustrations which they face, and they are sprinkled
+full of water-closets, radiators, bath-tubs, and various other building
+appliances not especially artistic in their suggestiveness. Still there
+is considerable taste and care evinced in the arrangement of many of the
+pages, and they are well printed on good paper. Possibly this accounts
+for the failure of the _Architect_ to recognize them as advertisements.
+
+The dignified course, it seems to us, is that followed by the committee
+of the Boston exhibition. In this case a certain number of pages was
+reserved in the catalogue to be devoted to advertising, and the houses
+to be represented were given to understand that all would be treated
+alike. No cuts would be used, and the pages would all be set in type of
+uniform style, thus insuring a desirable ensemble. We think that the
+advertising when well presented adds to, rather than detracts from, the
+interest of a catalogue. Our only desire is to see it done in good
+taste. The display of plumbing apparatus and all manner of building
+appliances we do not consider in good taste in this place.
+
+The secretaries of a number of the architectural clubs have very kindly
+responded to our request for notices and reports of their meetings and
+proceedings, and we are pleased to be able to give short reports of such
+occurrences as are of general interest. There are some clubs, however,
+from whom we have not yet heard, and we would suggest that it will be a
+help to all concerned if the secretaries of all the architectural clubs
+will furnish us with short accounts of their regular meetings and of any
+other occasions of importance. We shall be pleased also to publish any
+correspondence which will in any way further the interests of these
+organizations. We shall be glad to have THE BROCHURE SERIES considered
+as the organ of communication between the various clubs, and will place
+our services at their command.

+_Examples of Colonial Architecture in Charleston, S. C., and Savannah,
+Ga._ Compiled, photographed, and published by Edward A. Crane and E. E.
+Soderholtz, Boston Architectural Club, Boston. 50 plates, 11 x 14.
+$12.50.
+
+How much the revival of the classic influence of the early colonial and
+the immediately succeeding period is going to prevail in the
+establishment of a distinctive American style of architecture it is now
+difficult or indeed impossible to determine; but at all events the
+reaction from the Queen Anne vagaries of ten years ago to the more
+severe mass and chaste detail of the recent so-called colonial houses is
+a step in the right direction, and we have much to be thankful for in
+the improvement which this tendency has wrought in our recent domestic
+architecture. Beautiful and admirable as some of the recent examples of
+this work are, very few show the subtle appreciation of design to be
+found in many of the older buildings which until the last year or two
+have been looked upon as merely the outgrown and cast-off work of an age
+much less refined than our own.
+
+With the very general adoption of this style there has been an
+increased interest in the few remaining fine old examples which are
+scattered over the Eastern and Middle States, and the best of these are
+now familiar to architects.
+
+Few, however, know anything of the development of this style in the
+Southern States, and the work now before us will be a revelation to
+those who have not visited the neighborhood of Charleston and Savannah.
+
+A large proportion of the plates is devoted to Charleston, which owes
+its wealth and in fact the greater part of its existence to the
+prosperous planters of former days, who made the city a winter resort.
+
+The most notable house illustrated in the work is the William Bull
+Pringle house, built by Miles Brewton in 1760. It has long been famous
+as one of the finest houses in the country. Josiah Quincy, who was
+entertained by its first owner, speaks in enthusiastic terms of its
+beauty and the charm of its surroundings. Fourteen plates are devoted to
+illustrating its various features. The two-story portico with a Doric
+order below and Ionic above, relieved against the brick front laid in
+Flemish bond, the simple but well-designed iron fence, flanked on either
+side by a wall with massive brick posts covered with plaster, and all
+overgrown with a tangle of foliage, make up a fascinating picture. The
+view of the side gateway and a group of darky boys is wonderfully
+picturesque, besides being very suggestive as an architectural fragment.
+
+The detail is delicate and refined, but as a rule lacks the force and
+vitality of the Northern work of the same period. The interior detail
+shows a marked French influence, especially in the ceilings, mantels,
+and stairway. The drawing-room, of which a double plate is given, is
+probably without doubt the finest colonial room in the country, and is
+certainly a fine piece of design all through.
+
+One feature in planning which seems to be peculiar to this region, as it
+is not found in the houses at the North, is the location of the
+drawing-room, which is here on the second floor, usually extending
+entirely across the front of the house. There is seldom, however, any
+indication of this in the facade by a distinctive treatment of the
+second story. But the effect is seen in the interior by the greater
+importance naturally given to the staircase hall.
+
+The Gibbs house, built in 1752, which is shown by several plates, is
+also very attractive. The two interior doorways shown on one plate are
+among the most refined that we can remember.
+
+The entrance and staircase hall of the Gov. Bennett house will bear
+comparison with anything of its class to be found, and the plates
+showing it will be of especial value for interior work.
+
+The Bull house is of a type apparently common in the older work of this
+region. It is square and covered with a hip roof. The front is divided
+into three bays, the centre and wider one crowned with a low gable or
+pediment. The main floor is high, leaving a basement below and no
+cellar; and the front door, an illustration of which we give herewith,
+is reached by a double flight of steps protected by an iron railing.
+Many of the houses are provided with high fences and massive gateposts.
+A number of the plates give fine examples of these and several very
+interesting pieces of iron work.
+
+[Illustration: Doorway to the Bull House, Charleston.]
+
+Of the churches, St. Michael's and St. Philip's in Charleston are
+selected. The former was built in 1760, and is attributed to the English
+architect, Gibbs, who is also credited with the old Archdale house, with
+how good authority we do not know.
+
+On the whole, the choice of material is excellent. There is a large
+number of plates of detail which for architects' use are always the most
+valuable, and the work of the photographer and printer has been done
+unusually well.

+_Catalogue of the Joint Exhibition of the Boston Society of Architects

+Published for the exhibition by Bates & Guild. 96 pp., 36 illustrations.
+35 cents.
+
+A continuation of the general subject of exhibition catalogues touched
+upon in our last issue as far as it relates to the catalogue of the
+Boston Architectural Exhibition. The exhibition itself is quite small
+comparatively speaking, including only three hundred and twenty-five
+numbers, but, as the illustrations in the catalogue show, is widely
+representative and of a high grade of excellence. The contributions are
+very largely confined to members of the two societies under whose
+management the exhibition is held. This tends to give a somewhat local
+character to the exhibition as a whole. Still there is a sufficient
+number of important contributions from outside to make a quite
+respectable showing.
+
+The selection of illustrations, the only ground upon which there is
+excuse for reviewing the publication, is unquestionably good. There are
+thirty-six in all, covering a wide range of subjects treated in a
+variety of ways. The reproductions are unusually good, and the book is
+neatly and well printed on good paper. The cover, designed by Mr. George
+G. Will, is especially attractive and good in design.
+
+
+
+
+Club Notes.
+
+
+Recruits in the already very considerable list of architectural clubs
+are still coming to the front. The latest to be heard from is the
+Architectural Club of San Francisco, which was organized on Feb. 26 with
+fourteen members, some of whom were members of the old Sketch Club of
+San Francisco. It is growing in membership, and gives promise of a
+bright future. Rooms have been secured in the Menisini Building, 231
+Post Street. Meetings are held on the first Monday of each month, and a
+paper is read and the designs submitted in the monthly competitions are
+criticised and the awards announced. The first club exhibition will be
+held April 26. Mr. Loring P. Rixford, Room 24, Menisini Building, 231
+Post Street, San Francisco, is secretary.
+
+
+
+
+Brochure Series Competitions.
+
+
+From time to time, as opportunity offers, competitions in design will be
+conducted by THE BROCHURE SERIES. An upright or cabinet piano case, the
+subject of the first one, badly needs the attention of good designers.
+
+The Henry F. Miller & Sons Piano Company of Boston have, for several
+years, made steady advancement in the artistic qualities of their piano
+cases. They have equipped their factory with a view to special work, and
+have unusually good facilities for getting out pianos to order, carrying
+out, architects' sketches or those of their own designers to harmonize
+with different styles of interior decoration.
+
+It is their idea to encourage the special designing of piano cases, and
+to this end they have placed with the publishers fifty dollars to be
+divided into prizes for such designs. Only sketches will be required,
+their object being not to use the designs further than to publish the
+best, but to get designers to give a little attention to this particular
+problem, and so do a little towards creating an interest in the better
+design of piano cases. Full particulars, including a structural diagram
+and a statement of the technical requirements and limitations, will be
+announced in our next issue.
+
+
+
+
+Personal.
+
+
+As usual at this season, a number of architects and draughtsmen are
+planning to go abroad; some for only a few months, and others for a
+longer time. Among these are Messrs. H. T. Pratt, Matthew Sullivan,
+C. D. Maginnis, and H. C. Dunham, of Boston, and E. K. Taylor and H. L.
+Jones of New York.

+Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions

+Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no
+one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation
+(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without
+permission and without paying copyright royalties. Special rules,
+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to
+protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm concept and trademark. Project
+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission. If you
+do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the
+rules is very easy. You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose
+such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and
+research. They may be modified and printed and given away--you may do
+practically ANYTHING with public domain eBooks. Redistribution is
+subject to the trademark license, especially commercial
+redistribution.

+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by

+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or

+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or

+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.

+
+Section 2. 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 http://www.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 http://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 checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is 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:
+
+ http://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.
