+
+ =================================
+
+
+ You little girl,
+ You little boy,
+ With wondering eyes,
+ That kindly look,
+ In honour of
+ Two noble names
+ I send the offering
+ Of this book.
+

+
+SUSAN BLUE.
+
+
+ Oh, Susan Blue,
+ How do you do?
+ Please may I go for a walk with you?
+ Where shall we go?
+ Oh, I know--
+ Down in the meadow where the cowslips grow!
+
+ =================================
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+BLUE SHOES.
+
+
+ Little Blue Shoes
+ Mustn't go
+ Very far alone, you know
+ Else she'll fall down,
+ Or, lose her way;
+ Fancy--what
+ Would mamma say?
+ Better put her little hand
+ Under sister's wise command.
+ When she's a little older grown
+ Blue Shoes may go quite alone.
+
+ =================================
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+STREET SHOW.
+
+
+ Puff, puff, puff. How the trumpets blow
+ All you little boys and girls come and see the show.
+ One--two--three, the Cat runs up the tree;
+ But the little Bird he flies away--
+ "She hasn't got me!"
+
+ =================================
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+TO THE SUN DOOR.
+
+
+ They saw it rise in the morning,
+ They saw it set at night,
+ And they longed to go and see it,
+ Ah! if they only might.
+
+ The little soft white clouds heard them,
+ And stepped from out of the blue;
+ And each laid a little child softly
+ Upon its bosom of dew.
+
+ And they carried them higher and higher,
+ And they nothing knew any more
+ Until they were standing waiting
+ In front of the round gold door.
+
+ And they knocked, and called, and entreated,
+ Whoever should be within;
+ But all to no purpose, for no one
+ Would hearken to let them in.
+
+ =================================
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+THE DAISIES.
+
+
+ You very fine Miss Molly,
+ What will the daisies say,
+ If you carry home so many
+ Of their little friends to-day?
+
+ Perhaps you take a sister,
+ Perhaps you take a brother,
+ Or two little daisies who
+ Were fond of one another.
+
+ =================================
+

+
+
+
+
+THE DANCING FAMILY.
+
+
+ Pray let me introduce you to
+ This little dancing family;
+ For morning, afternoon, and night
+ They danced away so happily.
+
+ They twirled round about,
+ They turned their toes out;
+ The people wondered what the noise
+ Could all be about.
+
+ They danced from early morning,
+ Till very late at night;
+ Both in-doors and out-of-doors,
+ With very great delight.
+
+ And every sort of dance they knew,
+ From every country far away;
+ And so it was no wonder that
+ They should keep dancing all the day.
+
+ So dancing--dancing--dancing,
+ In sunshine or in rain;
+ And when they all left off,
+ Why then--they all began again.
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ =================================
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+GOING TO SEE GRANDMAMMA.
+
+
+ Little Molly and Damon
+ Are walking so far,
+ For they're going to see
+ Their kind Grandmamma.
+
+ And they very well know,
+ When they get there she'll take
+ From out of her cupboard
+ Some very nice cake.
+
+ And into her garden
+ They know they may run,
+ And pick some red currants,
+ And have lots of fun.
+
+ So Damon to doggie
+ Says, "How do you do?"
+ And asks his mamma
+ If he may not go too.
+
+ =================================
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+WISHES.
+
+
+ Oh, if you were a little boy,
+ And I was a little girl--
+ Why you would have some whiskers grow
+ And then my hair would curl.
+
+ Ah! if I could have whiskers grow,
+ I'd let you have my curls;
+ But what's the use of wishing it--
+ Boys never can be girls.
+
+ =================================
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+FIRST ARRIVALS.
+
+
+ It is a Party, do you know,
+ And there they sit, all in a row,
+ Waiting till the others come,
+ To begin to have some fun.
+
+ Hark! the bell rings sharp and clear,
+ Other little friends appear;
+ And no longer all alone
+ They begin to feel at home.
+
+ To them a little hard is Fate,
+ Yet better early than too late;
+ Fancy getting there forlorn,
+ With the tea and cake all gone.
+
+ Wonder what they'll have for tea;
+ Hope the jam is strawberry.
+ Wonder what the dance and game;
+ Feel so very glad they came.
+
+ Very Happy may you be,
+ May you much enjoy your tea.
+

+
+
+
+WHEN WE WENT OUT WITH GRANDMAMMA.
+
+
+ When we went out with Grandmamma--
+ Mamma said for a treat--
+ Oh, dear, how stiff we had to walk
+ As we went down the street.
+
+ One on each side we had to go,
+ And never laugh or loll;
+ I carried Prim, her Spaniard dog,
+ And Tom--her parasol.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ If _I_ looked right--_if Tom_ looked left--
+ "Tom--Susan--I'm ashamed;
+ And little Prim, I'm sure, is shocked,
+ To hear such naughties named."
+
+ She said we had no manners,
+ If we ever talked or sung;
+ "You should have seen," said Grandmamma,
+ "_Me_ walk, when _I_ was young."
+
+ She told us--oh, so often--
+ How little girls and boys,
+ In the good days when she was young,
+ Never made any noise.
+
+ She said they never wished then
+ To play--oh, indeed!
+ They learnt to sew and needlework,
+ Or else to write and read.
+
+ She said her mother never let
+ Her speak a word at meals;
+ "But now," said Grandmamma, "you'd think
+ That children's tongues had wheels
+
+ "So fast they go--clack, clack, clack, clack;
+ Now listen well, I pray,
+ And let me see you both improve
+ From what I've said to-day."
+
+ =================================
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+TO MYSTERY LAND.
+
+
+ Oh, dear, how will it end?
+ Peggy and Susie how naughty you are.
+ You little know where you are,
+ Going so far, and so high,
+ Nearly up to the sky.
+ Perhaps it's a Giant who lives there,
+ And perhaps it's a lovely Princess.
+ But you very well know
+ You've no business to go;
+ You'll get yourselves into a mess.
+
+ Oh, dear, I'm sure it is true;
+ Whatever on earth can it matter to you?
+ For you know it--oh, fie--
+ That it's naughty to pry
+ Into other's affairs--
+ Into other folks houses to go,
+ Where you know
+ You're not asked.
+ So you'd better come back
+ While there's time, it is plain.
+ Go home--and be never
+ So naughty again.
+
+ =================================
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+FROM MARKET.
+
+
+ Oh who'll give us Posies,
+ And Garlands of Roses,
+ To twine round our heads so gay?
+ For here we come bringing
+ You many good wishes to-day.
+ From market--from market--from market--
+ We all come up from market.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ =================================

+
+
+
+
+LITTLE PHILLIS.
+
+
+ I am a very little girl,
+ I think that I've turned two;
+ And if you'd like to know my name
+ I'd like to tell it you.
+
+ They always call me Baby,
+ But Phillis is my name.
+ No--no one ever gave it me,
+ I think it only came.
+
+ I've got a pretty tulip
+ In my little flower-bed;
+ If you would like I'll give it you--
+ It's yellow, striped with red.
+
+ I've got a little kitten, but
+ I can't give that away,
+ She likes to play with me _so_ much;
+ She's gone to sleep to-day.
+
+ And I've got a nice new dolly,
+ Shall I fetch her out to you?
+ She's got such pretty shoes on,
+ And her bonnet's trimmed with blue.
+
+ You'd like to take her home with you?
+ Oh, _no_, she mustn't go;
+ Good-bye--I want to run now,
+ You walk along so slow.
+
+ =================================
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+THE FOUR PRINCESSES.
+
+
+ Four Princesses lived in a Green Tower--
+ A Bright Green Tower in the middle of the sea;
+ And no one could think--oh, no one could think--
+ Who the Four Princesses could be.
+
+ One looked to the North, and one to the South,
+ And one to the East, and one to the West;
+ They were all so pretty, so very pretty,
+ You could not tell which was the prettiest.
+
+ Their curls were golden--their eyes were blue,
+ And their voices were sweet as a silvery bell;
+ And four white birds around them flew,
+ But where they came from--_who_ could tell?
+
+ Oh, who could tell? for no one knew,
+ And not a word could you hear them say.
+ But the sound of their singing, like church bells ringing,
+ Would sweetly float as they passed away.
+
+ For under the sun, and under the stars,
+ They often sailed on the distant sea;
+ Then in their Green Tower and Roses bower
+ They lived again--a mystery.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ =================================
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+WHEN YOU AND I GROW UP.
+
+
+ When you and I
+ Grow up--Polly--
+ I mean that you and me,
+ Shall go sailing in a big ship
+ Right over all the sea.
+ We'll wait till we are older,
+ For if we went to-day,
+ You know that we might lose ourselves,
+ And never find the way.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ =================================
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+IN AN APPLE TREE.
+
+
+ In September, when the apples were red,
+ To Belinda I said,
+ "Would you like to go away
+ To Heaven, or stay
+ Here in this orchard full of trees
+ All your life?" And she said, "If you please
+ I'll stay here--where I know,
+ And the flowers grow."
+
+ =================================
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+THE WEDDING BELLS.
+
+
+ The Wedding Bells were ringing,
+ And Monday was the day,
+ And all the little ladies
+ Were there so fresh and gay.
+
+ And up--up--up the steps they went,
+ The wedding fine to see;
+ And the Roses were all for the Bride,
+ So pretty--so pretty was she.
+
+[Illustration]
+

+
+
+
+
+THE LITTLE LONDON GIRL.
+
+
+ In my little Green House, quite content am I,
+ When the hot sun pours down from the sky;
+ For oh, I love the country--the beautiful country.
+ Who'd live in a London street when there's the country?
+
+ I live in a London street, then I long and long
+ To be the whole day the sweet Flowers among
+ Instead of tall chimney-pots up in the sky,
+ The joy of seeing Birds and Dragon Flies go by.
+
+ At home I lie in bed, and cannot go to sleep,
+ For the sound of cart-wheels upon the hard street.
+ But here my eyes close up to no sound of anything
+ Except it is to hear the nightingales sing.
+
+ And then I see the Chickens and the Geese go walking,
+ I hear the Pigs and the Ducks all talking.
+ And the Red and the Spotted Cows they stare at me,
+ As if they wondered whoever I could be.
+
+ I see the little Lambs out with their mothers--
+ Such pretty little white young sisters and brothers.
+ Oh, I'll stay in the country, and make a daisy chain,
+ And never go back to London again.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ =================================
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+TO BABY.
+
+
+ Oh, what shall my blue eyes go see?
+ Shall it be pretty Quack-Quack to-day?
+ Or the Peacock upon the Yew Tree?
+ Or the dear little white Lambs at play?
+ Say Baby.
+ For Baby is such a young Petsy,
+ And Baby is such a sweet Dear.
+ And Baby is growing quite old now--
+ She's just getting on for a year.
+
+ =================================
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+WILLY AND HIS SISTER.
+
+
+ Willy said to his sister,
+ "Please may I go with you?"
+ She said, "You must behave
+ Very nicely if you do."
+
+ "Please will you take me then
+ To look at the mill?"
+ "Yes," she said, "because you are
+ So very good--I will."
+
+ "The miller he is
+ So very white and kind;
+ And sprinkled all over
+ With the flour they grind.
+
+ "And the big heaps of corn
+ That lie upon the floor;
+ He will let me play with those
+ I am quite sure.
+
+ "I like to hear the wheel
+ Make such a rushing sound,
+ And see the pretty water
+ Go round, and round, and round.
+
+ "So take me to the mill,
+ For then you shall see
+ What a very, very good boy
+ I really mean to be."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ =================================
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+AT SCHOOL.
+
+
+ Five little Girls, sitting on a form,
+ Five little Girls, with lessons to learn,
+ Five little Girls, who, I'm afraid,
+ Won't know them a bit when they have to be said.
+
+ For little eyes are given to look
+ Anywhere else than on their book;
+ And little thoughts are given to stray
+ Anywhere--ever so far away.
+
+ =================================
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+HAPPY DAYS.
+
+
+ "Are you going next week to see Phillis and Phoebe?
+ Phillis on Monday will be just fourteen.
+ She says we shall all have our tea in the garden,
+ And afterwards have some nice games on the green.
+
+ "I wanted a new frock, but mother said, 'No,'
+ So I must be content with my old one you see.
+ But then white is so pretty, and kind Aunt Matilda
+ Has sent down a beautiful necklace for me."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ "Oh, yes, I am going, and Peggy is going,
+ And mother is making us new frocks to wear;
+ I shall have my red sash and my hat with pink ribbons--
+ I know all the girls will be smart who are there.
+
+ "And then, too, we're going to each take a nosegay--
+ The larger the better--for Phillis to say
+ That all her friends love her, and wish her so happy,
+ And bring her sweet flowers upon her birthday.
+
+ "And won't it be lovely, in beautiful sunshine,
+ The table spread under the great apple tree,
+ To see little Phillis--that dear little Phillis--
+ Look smiling all round as she pours out the tea!"
+
+ =================================
+

+
+
+
+
+THE LITTLE QUEEN'S COMING.
+
+
+ With Roses--red Roses,
+ We'll pelt her with Roses,
+ And Lilies--white Lilies we'll drop at her feet;
+ The little Queen's coming,
+ The people are running--
+ The people are running to greet and to meet.
+
+ Then clash out a welcome,
+ Let all the bells sound, come,
+ To give her a welcoming proud and sweet.
+ How her blue eyes will beam,
+ And her golden curls gleam,
+ When the sound of our singing rings down the street.
+
+ =================================
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+ON THE WALL TOP.
+
+
+ Dancing and prancing to town we go,
+ On the top of the wall of the town we go.
+ Shall we talk to the stars, or talk to the moon,
+ Or run along home to our dinner so soon?
+
+ =================================
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+
+
+ON THE WALL TOP.
+
+
+ So high--so high on the wall we run,
+ The nearer the sky--why, the nearer the sun,
+ If you give me one penny, I'll give you two,
+ For that's the way good neighbours do.
+

+
+TIP-A-TOE.
+
+
+ Tip-a-Toe,
+ See them go;
+ One, two, three--
+ Chloe, Prue, and me;
+ Up and down,
+ To the town.
+ A Lord was there,
+ And the Lady fair.
+ And what did they sing?
+ Oh, "Ring-a-ding-ding;"
+ And the Black Crow flew off
+ With the Lady's Ring.

+MAMMAS AND BABIES.
+
+
+ "My Polly is so very good,
+ Belinda never cries;
+ My Baby often goes to sleep,
+ See how she shuts her eyes.
+
+ "Dear Mrs. Lemon tell me when
+ Belinda goes to school;
+ And what time does she go to bed?"
+ "Well, eight o'clock's the rule.
+
+ "But now and then, just for a treat,
+ I let her wait awhile;
+ You shake your head--why, wouldn't you?
+ Do look at Baby's smile!"
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ "Dear Mrs. Primrose will you come
+ One day next week to tea?
+ Of course bring Rosalinda, and
+ That darling--Rosalie."
+
+ "Dear Mrs. Cowslip, you _are_ kind;
+ My little folks, I know,
+ Will be so very pleased to come;
+ Dears--tell Mrs. Cowslip so.
+
+ "Oh, do you know--perhaps you've not heard--
+ She had a dreadful fright;
+ My Daisy with the measles
+ Kept me up every night.
+
+ "And then I've been so worried--
+ Clarissa had a fit;
+ And the doctor said he couldn't
+ In the least account for it."

+MY LITTLE GIRLIE.
+
+
+ Little girlie tell to me
+ What your wistful blue eyes see?
+ Why you like to stand so high,
+ Looking at the far off sky.
+
+ Does a tiny Fairy flit
+ In the pretty blue of it?
+ Or is it that you hope so soon
+ To see the rising yellow Moon?
+
+ Or is it--as I think I've heard--
+ You're looking for a little Bird
+ To come and sit upon a spray,
+ And sing the summer night away?

+
+THE CATS HAVE COME TO TEA.
+
+
+ What did she see--oh, what did she see,
+ As she stood leaning against the tree?
+ Why all the Cats had come to tea.
+
+ What a fine turn out--from round about,
+ All the houses had let them out,
+ And here they were with scamper and shout.
+
+ "Mew--mew--mew!" was all they could say,
+ And, "We hope we find you well to-day."
+
+ Oh, what should she do--oh, what should she do?
+ What a lot of milk they would get through;
+ For here they were with "Mew--mew--mew!"
+
+ She didn't know--oh, she didn't know,
+ If bread and butter they'd like or no;
+ They might want little mice, oh! oh! oh!
+
+ Dear me--oh, dear me,
+ All the cats had come to tea.
+
+ =================================

+
+
+
+
+THE TEA PARTY.
+
+
+ In the pleasant green Garden
+ We sat down to tea;
+ "Do you take sugar?" and
+ "Do you take milk?"
+ She'd got a new gown on--
+ A smart one of silk.
+ We all were so happy
+ As happy could be,
+ On that bright Summer's day
+ When she asked us to tea.

+UNDER ROSE ARCHES.
+
+
+ Under Rose Arches to Rose Town--
+ Rose Town on the top of the hill;
+ For the Summer wind blows and music goes,
+ And the violins sound shrill.
+
+ Twist and twine Roses and Lilies,
+ And little leaves green,
+ Fit for a queen;
+ Twist and twine Roses and Lilies.
+
+ Oh, Roses shall be for her carpet,
+ And her curtains of Roses so fair;
+ And a Rosy crown, while far adown
+ Floats her long golden hair.
+
+ Twist and twine Roses and Lilies,
+ And all the bells ring,
+ And all the people sing;
+ Twist and twine Roses and Lilies.

+
+A GENTEEL FAMILY.
+
+
+ Some children are so naughty,
+ And some are very good;
+ But the Genteel Family
+ Did always what it should.
+
+ They put on gloves when they went out,
+ And ran not in the street;
+ And on wet days not one of them
+ Had ever muddy feet.
+
+ Then they were always so polite,
+ And always thanked you so;
+ And never threw their toys about,
+ As naughty children do.
+
+ They always learnt their lessons
+ When it was time they should;
+ And liked to eat up all their crusts--
+ They were so very good.
+
+ And then their frocks were never torn,
+ Their tuckers always clean;
+ And their hair so very tidy--
+ Always quite fit to be seen.
+
+ Then they made calls with their mamma
+ And were so very neat;
+ And learnt to bow becomingly
+ When they met you in the street.
+
+ And really they were everything
+ That children ought to be;
+ And well may be examples now
+ For little you--and me.

+ And in the green grass sleep at night.
+ Little birds sing all the day,
+ Oh, in such a happy way!
+ All the day the sun is bright,
+ Little stars shine all the night.
+ The Cowslip says to the Primrose,
+ "How soft the little Spring wind blows!"
+ The Daisy and the Buttercup
+ Sing every time that they look up.
+ For beneath the sweet blue sky
+ They see a pretty Butterfly;
+ The Butterfly, when he looks down,
+ Says, "What a pretty Flower Town!"

+ The stars are the windows of Heaven,
+ And sometimes I think you peep through.
+ Oh, little girl, tell us do the Flowers
+ Tell you secrets when they find you all alone?
+ Or the Birds and Butterflies whisper
+ Of things to us unknown?
+
+ Or do angel voices speak to you so softly,
+ When _we_ only hear a little wind sigh;
+ And the peaceful dew of Heaven fall upon you
+ When _we_ only see a white cloud passing by?

+CHILD'S SONG.

+ The King and the Queen were riding
+ Upon a Summer's day,
+ And a Blackbird flew above them,
+ To hear what they did say.
+
+ The King said he liked apples,
+ The Queen said she liked pears.
+ And what shall we do to the Blackbird
+ Who listens unawares.

+MISS MOLLY AND THE LITTLE FISHES.
+
+
+ Oh, sweet Miss Molly,
+ You're so fond
+ Of Fishes in a little Pond.
+ And perhaps they're glad
+ To see you stare
+ With such bright eyes
+ Upon them there.
+ And when your fingers and your thumbs
+ Drop slowly in the small white crumbs
+ I hope they're happy. Only this--
+ When you've looked long enough, sweet miss.
+ Then, most beneficent young giver,
+ Restore them to their native river.

+
+THE LITTLE JUMPING GIRLS.
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ Jump--jump--jump--
+ Jump away
+ From this town into
+ The next, to-day.
+
+ Jump--jump--jump--
+ Jump over the moon;
+ Jump all the morning,
+ And all the noon.
+
+ Jump--jump--jump--
+ Jump all night;
+ Won't our mothers
+ Be in a fright?
+
+ Jump--jump--jump--
+ Over the sea;
+ What wonderful wonders
+ We shall see.
+
+ Jump--jump--jump--
+ And leave behind
+ Everything evil
+ That we may find.
+
+ Jump--jump--jump--
+ Jump far away;
+ And all come home
+ Some other day.
+
+ =================================
+
+
+
+
+RING-A-RING.
+
+
+ Ring-a-ring of little boys.
+ Ring-a-ring of girls;
+ All around--all around,
+ Twists and twirls.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ You are merry children;
+ "Yes, we are."
+ Where do you come from?
+ "Not very far.
+
+ "We live in the mountain,
+ We live in the tree;
+ And I live in the river-bed,
+ And you won't catch me!"
+
+ =================================
+
+[Illustration]

+
+ON THE BRIDGE.
+
+
+ If I could see a little fish--
+ That is what I just now wish!
+ I want to see his great round eyes
+ Always open in surprise.
+
+ I wish a water rat would glide
+ Slowly to the other side;
+ Or a dancing spider sit
+ On the yellow flags a bit.
+
+ I think I'll get some stones to throw,
+ And watch the pretty circles show.
+ Or shall we sail a flower-boat,
+ And watch it slowly--slowly float?
+
+ That's nice--because you never know
+ How far away it means to go;
+ And when to-morrow comes, you see,
+ It may be in the great wide sea.

+
+ One--two, is one to you:
+ One--two--three, is one to me.
+ Throw it fast or not at all,
+ And mind you do not let it fall.
+
+ Fairy Blue Eyes
+ And Fairy Brown,
+ And dear little Golden Curls,
+ Look down.
+ I say "Good-bye"--
+ "Good-bye" with no pain--
+ Till some happy day
+ We meet again!

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+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.
+
+1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all

+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

+
+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 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+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

+
+
+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.
