Thus far, we have entered upon +every new volume with an increased circulation. We look for a still +larger increase in the future; for there are thousands and thousands of +children not yet supplied with the work, for whom no other magazine can +take its place. We have something in preparation for coming numbers +which will make the eyes of our little readers sparkle with delight. Now +is the time for canvassers to go to work with a will. + +The illustration by Merrill of the "Three Little Culprits" who were kept +after school to study their spelling-lesson, is one of those happy +touches of nature that every one can appreciate. The poem by Miss +Wadsworth is worthy of the picture. + +Children who are trying to learn to draw, will be pleased with the +beautiful subject in our present number. By giving half-an-hour a day to +drawing now, they will acquire a facility and a skill that will not only +be of service to them, but a great pleasure to them, all their lives. + +If parents or teachers would like to know of two books by the use of +which teaching may be made a pleasure instead of a task to children, +they cannot do better than order "The Easy Book" and "The Beautiful +Book;" the former containing pieces in prose, and the latter, pieces in +verse, and both of them richly and copiously illustrated with +appropriate pictures. These books are published at "The Nursery" office +by John L. Shorey. + +Children who enjoy making paper dolls, will find an advertisement at the +end of this number which is worthy of attention. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE LOST RABBIT. + + +Bunny was a little rabbit, the youngest of a large family. His home +was in an old wood, where the trees were very high, and wild-flowers +grew in great abundance. His mother had given him to understand that +he must not stray away from her, lest he should get lost, and not be +able to find her. + +But Bunny, like some young children, was self-willed. He thought his +mother was over-careful; and so, one day, when nobody was watching him, +he slipped away from her, and sat down amid the grass, under two high +beech-trees. + +He heard his mother calling him, but took no notice of her call. It was +a warm summer day, and he fell asleep. Soon he was startled by the loud +barking of dogs. He woke up, and, oh, how frightened he was! + +Luckily for him, the dogs did not come where he lay crouching; for their +masters were shooting birds, not rabbits. Bunny thought the best thing +he could do now was to scamper back to his mother, his brothers and +sisters as fast as he could. + +But it was not quite so easy to find them again. No sooner had he got +into the open path than a troop of boys caught sight of him; and at once +there was a volley of stones from their hands. By rare good luck he was +not hit by the stones. But he had not gone many paces farther, when a +man with a gun shot at him. Happily the man missed his aim, and the shot +went into some bushes. + +Having escaped this new danger, Bunny leaped swiftly over the high +grass, till he came to the fallen trunk of a tree. Here he hoped to find +his mother; but, ah! there was no trace of her to be seen. Night came +on; and poor Bunny had to lie down all alone and go to sleep. + +The next morning it rained heavily; and Bunny crept into the hollow +trunk of the tree, where he could keep warm and dry. But before noon +the sun came out beautifully; and the little rabbit, being very hungry, +ran out. + +The first thing he saw was his mother and the rest of the family eating +their dinner. Oh, how glad he was! His mother did not scold him, but +gave him plenty to eat; and he made up his mind, that he never would +run away again from so good a mother. + + AUNT EMMA'S NIECE. + + + + +[Illustration] + +A TUG EXCURSION. + + +It was just after dinner when papa said, "Put on your hats quickly, and +we will go down to the dock, and perhaps we shall find a tug going out." + +Ralph had something beside his hat to put on; for, contrary to mamma's +orders, he had taken off his shoes and stockings. But, with good +Maggie's help, that wrong was speedily righted, and we were soon on our +way to the dock. + +There we found the stanch tug "Williams" just ready to leave. We jumped +on board. The ropes were cast off; and a few turns of the wheel took us +out on the broad expanse of Lake Michigan. + +How delighted we all were with the beautiful picture there spread out +before us!--the broad blue waters, dotted here and there with white +sails; far away to the right, the smoke arising from a huge steamer on +her way from Chicago to Buffalo; and away, away, straight ahead of us, +two white specks, which Captain Charley told us were the vessels he was +going out for. + +A look through the glass proved that the "specks" were _really_ vessels, +and huge ones too. While we were looking and talking, what do you +suppose one of the men brought forward for Ralph's amusement?--A dog? +No. A kitty? No. A parrot? No. I think you will have to give it up. A +bear! Just the cunningest little bear any one ever saw. + +He was just about the size of a tan-terrier, and so full of play, that +he got himself into all sorts of shapes, and performed all the antics +imaginable. But the most laughable thing was to see him as a tight-rope +performer. I am sure he outdid any circus actor who ever travelled. + +Ralph thought it jolly to play with a live bear. As one would suppose, +the bear was a great pet with all on board the tug. He had always been +handled with kindness; and the captain told us he had never yet bitten +any one. + +All this time, we are nearing the vessels we are to tow back. See what a +huge cable is thrown out to join the vessels to the tug. Here we go, +homeward bound. + +We must not forget to tell of the nice race we had with the steam barge +"Reitz," and how Ralph shouted when we came out ahead; nor about Ralph's +getting hungry, and going down into the cabin, and making friends with +the cook, and coming up with his pockets full of crackers and cookies, +which were so much better than any he ever ate before. + +Don't you think just as we do, that we had a jolly time? Ralph says he +should like to live on board the tug; but I think he would want to come +home every night. + + AUNT NELLIE. + + + + +[Illustration] + +TIT, TAT, TOE! + + + Tit, tat, toe! + Three in a row! +The heavy schoolroom clock strikes loud and slow. + "Now every little one + May go and take his fun," +The gentle teacher cries, "for the school is done." + + Tit, tat, toe! + All in a row! +Out through the open door the merry children go, + Leaving only three, + Sad as sad can be,-- +Wretched little culprits with their Spellers, as you see! + + Tit, tat, toe! + Three in a row!-- +Billy Bumble, Benny Bell, and little Kitty Coe. + Little Kitty sighs; + Little Benny cries; +And little Billy Bumble pokes his fingers in his eyes. + + Tit, tat, toe! + Three in a row! +That's the game they played upon their slate, you know: + The 0's were made by Kate; + The crosses, by her mate; +While Billy kept the tally at the bottom of the slate. + + When their class was heard, + They couldn't spell a word: +They put an "i" in burly, and they put a "u" in bird! + So, according to the rule, + They must study after school, +Or by and by they'll have to sit upon the dunce's stool. + + Tit, tat, toe! + Three in a row! +The teacher's pencil taps on the desk broad and low. + "Now come," she says, "and spell; + I'm sure you'll do it well; +By the brightening of your faces, I readily can tell." + + Tit, tat, toe! + Three in a row! +Straight to the teacher's desk the willing children go: + They say their lesson o'er, + Not missing as before, +Then fly away, determined to be idle never more. + + Tit, tat, toe! + Three in a row! +Is a fascinating pastime the little people know; + But oh! it never pays + To walk in folly's ways; +For pleasure quickly passes, while pain much longer stays. + + OLIVE A. WADSWORTH. + + + + +THE KEEPER PUNISHED. + + +Elephants, when kindly treated, become very much attached to their +keepers, and will obey their orders as readily as good children obey +their parents. + +But sometimes the keepers are cruel men, and, instead of managing the +elephants by kindness, will goad them, and treat them badly. + +One day a new keeper was set over an elephant named Tippoo, that had +been accustomed to good treatment. This new keeper, if he had been wise, +would have won the elephant's love by kindness. + +Instead of that, the man kept thrusting his goad at the elephant, and +hurting him without any good cause. Tippoo bore it patiently for some +time; but at last, with his great trunk seizing his tormentor, he ran +with him down to the river that was near by. + +Here, after ducking the man several times in the water, he laid him down +gently on the dry ground, as much as to say, "Now, sir, behave yourself, +and treat me like a gentleman, or I will give you a worse ducking than +that." + +Finding that Tippoo was not to be trifled with, the man began to treat +him well, and the elephant soon forgave him, and at last grew quite fond +of him. Love wins love. + + UNCLE CHARLES. + +[Illustration: THE KEEPER PUNISHED.] + + + + +NEDDY'S SAND-BANK. + + +On lovely summer afternoons, when the sky is blue, and the sea bluer, I +take my books or work, and go out to sit under a great oak-tree that +stands at the top of a sand-bank, which slopes gently down to a broad, +white, beach. + +[Illustration] + +This sand-bank is a wonderful place for the children. Every fine day +Neddy takes his box of playthings, and marches off to the sand-bank; and +I think, as I kiss his dear rosy cheeks, what a nice, clean boy he is in +his linen blouse, broad-brimmed hat with blue ribbons, white stockings, +and neat buttoned boots. He returns after a few hours, looking like a +little savage. + +"Just fit to go into the wash-tub," Dinah says; and she is right. + +What do they play on the sand-bank? I will tell you what they did +yesterday, while I sat under the oak-tree and worked, and listened to +their prattle. + +"Let's build cities to-day," said Tommy Abbott. "Oh, yes!" said Jamie +Newton. "I will build Boston," chimed in Neddy: "I don't know much about +other places." After each had selected a city to build, they were silent +for some time. + +But by and by Neddy looked up, and called to me, "Oh, do come down here, +mamma, and see my Boston!" So I climbed down the bank to visit his city. +He had scooped a hole in the sand, lined it with clay, filled it with +sea-water, and stocked it with his shining tin fish. Of course I knew at +once this was the pond on Boston Common. + +[Illustration] + +Jamie Newton, who studies geography, and knows all about great cities +everywhere, made a model Philadelphia, with its long, wide streets. +Jamie's streets were so clean, and so beautifully shaded with sprigs of +evergreen, that Mary Whitman said her grandest doll, Arabella Rosetta, +should take a nice ride through them. So Rosetta was set up in her +carriage, and one tucked the crimson afghan about her dainty feet, while +another opened her _very best_ sky-blue parasol, (for Rosetta is +particular about her complexion), and Mary put on her hat with the blue +plumes, and pink roses, smoothed down her flounces, and said, "Be a good +girl, Rosy. Don't stay out after dark, for the dew will spoil your +clothes." + +[Illustration] + +By and by it grew late. The sun sank down into the sea; while the moon, +broad and full, rose from behind the hill; and I said, "Come, Neddy, we +must run home to tea." + +But Tommy Abbott, who had built a most wonderful Chicago, begged for a +match to burn his city with. So the children gathered a heap of sticks +and dry leaves; and Tommy set fire to the pile, and up and away flamed +the beautiful city. Then we all went up to the hotel together, and very +soon tea was ready; and it was a wonderful thing to see how the children +disposed of bread and milk, baked sweet apples, and gingerbread. + +After we went up to our room, I wrote this story, and read it to Neddy. +How his eyes sparkled with delight! "It's just as true as I live, every +word of it," he said as I finished. + +[Illustration] + +"But, mamma, you forgot little Rose Ellsworth's town. She made a real +hill, and covered it with grass, and dotted it all over with violets; +and Daisy lent her a cow from her 'Noah's Ark;' and we made it stand up +under a tree, and, if it had only whisked its tail, it would have looked +almost alive. + +"I think, mamma," he continued, "that Rose is the nicest little girl +here. I've painted her picture in my album." + +So I was not surprised, while looking over Neddy's pictures, to see that +he had wasted a great deal of paint in trying to display Rose's pink +cheeks and lovely golden hair: He had painted her cheeks redder than the +reddest cherries you ever saw. + + S. B. T. + + + + +[Illustration] + +SURF-BATHING AT CONEY ISLAND. + + +Coney Island, about eight miles from the city of New York, is four and a +half miles long and about half a mile in width. It is quite a resort in +summer for those who want to breathe the briny air of the ocean. + +Charles and Laura had long been promised a visit to this famous +bathing-place, and one warm day in June their father drove them down to +the island; for there is a bridge connecting it with the main land. + +As they drove along the beach, they saw the bathers in the water, and +Charles was very desirous of having a dip in the salt sea himself; but +he had no bathing-dress, and so he had to give it up. + +It is very pleasant on a fine day in summer to stand on the beach, and +watch the waves as they come foaming up. The children were much +entertained at seeing a Newfoundland dog rush into the water after a +stick which his master would throw far out. + +They will long remember their pleasant visit to Coney Island; but the +next time they go, they mean to take their bathing-dresses and have a +swim. + + F. H. W. + + + + +[Illustration] + +A FUNNY FACT. + + +Taddy Pole and Polly Wogg +Lived together in a bog: +Here you see the very pool +Where they went to swimming-school. + +[Illustration] + +By and by (it's true, but strange) +O'er them came a wondrous change: +Here you have them on a log, +Each a most decided frog. + + M. A. C. + + + + +AN EXCITING SCENE. + + +Early last spring, Mistress Jenny Wren took possession of the little box +nailed to a tree immediately in front of Mr. Philip's house. She had not +really moved in, when who should peep in but Mr. English-Sparrow. + +He was abroad house hunting, and never mistrusted that any one had got +this house before him. He was thinking how well it would suit himself +and mate, when _whir-r-r-r_! _whir-r-r-r_! up came Mrs. Jenny; and +before he could offer a word of excuse, she began with, "Fie, fie! I +took you for a gentleman! What business have you here?" + +"My dear madam," began Mr. Sparrow; but Jenny would not hear him. "Out, +out with you, you saucebox, you interloper!" she screamed; and she +dashed at him and pecked him till he beat a speedy retreat. + +The next day, however, he came round again; whether to express his +regrets in due form, or to buy her off, I cannot say; but Mrs. Jenny was +unwilling to accept anything but the most humble apology. + +One look convinced her that he didn't want her pardon, but her house; +and out she flew at his very eyes, and on she chased as far as Mr. +Philip, who was sitting at the window, could see. But Mr. Sparrow was +seen no more. + +I knew Jenny Wren was spirited; but I should hardly have thought that of +her; should you! + + MR. PERIWINKLE. + + + + +"MAKE A PIE." + + +The summer before our Mary was two years old, she and her brother used +to make pies in the sand, cutting them out with the cover of a little +tin pail, always using water to mix them, if they could obtain it. + +About this time, Bertie was learning,-- + + "Little drops of water, little grains of sand, + Make the mighty ocean, and the pleasant land." + +One day, Mary thought she would say it with him, so she began,-- + + "Little drops of water, little grains of sand, + Make _a pie_." + +"Make the mighty ocean, Mary," said her brother. + +"No, _make a pie_," said Mary; and she could not be induced to say it +right till months afterwards. + + MARY'S MAMMA. + + + + +[Illustration: From SIR EDWIN LANDSEER'S painting. In outline by +MR. HARRISON WEIR, as a drawing lesson. VOL. XVIII.--No. 1] + + + + +A BIG DOG. + + +I am a big dog, and my name is Bouncer. I want to tell you, little boys +and girls, how I spend my time all the day long. In the morning I am +always the first one awake: I take a walk around the house, and see if +every thing is right; then, perhaps, I am let into the house. I look +from one to another to see if all the family are at home; and I am much +pleased when somebody has a good word for me, or when I get a pull from +the baby's hand. + +For breakfast, the kitten and I have the leavings from the table; but +there never is half enough for both of us: so I let her clean out the +platter, while I run to see my master off. When I get as far as the +gate, he says, "Go back!" I sit down and watch him till he is out of +sight. + +Then there comes the milkman. I know him well; for he comes every +morning and fills the can, and I watch it until it is taken in. Perhaps, +when the door is open, a bone is thrown out to me. I hide it, quickly; +for I see another dog coming. He is a friend of mine. He comes quite +often to see me. We take a run around the house, and have a quiet talk +together; then he takes himself off. + +By that time I hear a team coming. I run to see if it is coming to the +house. It is a man with a load of coal. I lie down and watch him. +Perhaps I take a nap; but I sleep with one eye open; and if it is warm, +and the flies trouble me, I have to switch my tail to keep them off. + +Toward night, I station myself at the gate to watch for my master. I run +to meet him. He pats me on the head, and says, "Good Bouncer!" I jump up +and wag my tail, and try to let him know how glad I am to see him. + +I hope you will be pleased with these extracts from the diary of + + BOUNCER. + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE BUTTERFLY. + + +Again, beside the roadside, blows +The pink, sweet-scented brier-rose; +Its purple head the clover raises; +And all the fields are full of daisies; +And in the sunshine flutters by +A little white-winged butterfly. + +From flower to flower I watch him go; +He seems a floating flake of snow: +Now to a milkweed bloom he's clinging; +There on a buttercup he's swinging; +And now he makes a little stop +Upon a scented thistle-top. + +Could we change places, he and I, +And I should turn a butterfly, +How gayly, then, I'd hover over +The elder-flowers and tufts of clover! +I'd feast on honey all the day, +With nobody to say me nay. + +But, could I only honey eat, +'Twould grow as tiresome as sweet: +The pretty flowers would quickly wither; +And, all day flying hither, thither, +My wings would ache: I'm glad that I +Am not that little butterfly. + + MARIAN DOUGLAS. + + + + +THE YOUNG CRITIC. + +Ernest is five years old; and for three years he has been a subscriber +to "The Nursery," the pictures in which he has enjoyed very much. + +Last autumn, his parents took him with them to France. In the great +city of Paris, they had rooms in a boarding-house, where they made +the acquaintance of a young American painter, who had a studio in +the building. + +Ernest was such a quiet little fellow, and was so fond of pictures, that +Mr. Norton, the artist, was always glad to see him in his studio; for +Ernest did not trouble him, but would stand looking at the pictures for +a quarter of an hour at a time. + +One day, as he stood admiring a painting in which some horses were +represented, he noticed a fault; for Ernest was a judge of horses: he +was himself the owner of one--made of wood. "Look here, Mr. Norton," +said he, "isn't one of the hind-legs of this horse longer than +the other?" + +Mr. Norton left his easel, and came and told Ernest to point out in the +painting what fault he meant. The little fellow did so; and the painter +exclaimed, "Why, you little chip of a critic, you are right as sure as +I'm alive! We must make a painter of you." + +[Illustration] + +Ernest is not quite old enough yet to decide whether he will make a +painter or a confectioner. The sight of the beautiful candies and cakes +which he has seen in some of the shops, inclines him to the belief that +a confectioner's lot is the more enviable one. He thinks it must be a +charming occupation to make molasses-candy, and be able to eat as much +as he wants. He must live and learn. + + ARTHUR SELWYN. + + + + +PLAYING HORSE. + + +Among Ellen's playthings, there is none that pleases her more than the +bright worsted reins which her aunt bought for her at the May fair. + +"Reins!--what does a girl do with reins?" I think I hear somebody ask. +Why, she plays horse with them, to be sure. She has a brother Charles. +He is the horse sometimes; and sometimes he is the driver, and Ellen is +the horse. Either way, it is good fun. + +One fine June day, her elder brother, Ned, took part in the play. He +said there should be a span of horses. He and Charles would be the +span, and Ellen should drive. "No," said Ellen, "I would rather be one +of the horses." + +[Illustration] + +So Nelly and Ned were harnessed together, and Charley took the reins. +"Get up!" said he, and away they went. As they crossed the lawn, they +passed a lawn-mower, and the horse Ned shied badly. If he had not had +such a steady horse as Nell by his side, there might have been an +accident. + +As it was, Charles held him in with a tight rein, and the two horses +came trotting back to the starting-point at full speed. If Charles had +had a watch to time them by, I think he would have found that they made +a mile in less than three minutes. + + A. B. C. + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + +JACK. + + +Jack was not a handsome dog. His best friends could not call him a +beauty; but as he was a very wise, good dog, we were all very fond +of him. + +One afternoon, some of the younger members of the family were sitting on +the piazza, waiting for papa, who was expected home on the five-o'clock +train. Jack was lying beside them. + +At last, the whistle sounded in the distance; and the little +four-year-old "flower of the family" said, "Run, Jack, to meet papa at +the station." Jack looked up, listened intently for a moment, and then +lay down again with a sigh of disappointment. + +"Oh, what a lazy fellow!" said six-year-old Annie. "If mamma would only +trust us to go to the station, we would not wait, or play sleepy." But +the train passed on, and papa had not come. + +In a little while, another whistle sounded; and this time, without a +word of command, Jack sprung off the steps, dashed down the street, and +returned in a few moments, escorting his master. + +How did Jack know that the time-table had been changed that day, and a +freight-train had taken the place of his master's train? + +Another time, an uncle, who was visiting the family, had occasion to +stay in town until the last train. Jack refused to be shut up, and, at +eleven o'clock at night, went in the dark to the station, and escorted +our guest up to the house. + +How did he know what train to meet? and what instinct impelled him to +do his part towards keeping up the courtesy of the family? + + + + +[Illustration: ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL, LONDON.] + + + + +[Illustration] + +A LETTER FROM CALIFORNIA. + + +Here we are in Santa Cruz, in a hotel right on the beach. We had such a +lovely stage-ride over the mountains, and enjoyed the mountain air so +much, that I was almost sorry when we arrived. I wish you could see the +great madrona-trees on the mountains with their dark-red wood and +beautiful green leaves. I do not believe you have any Eastern trees so +beautiful. + +On the top of the Santa Cruz mountains, where we stopped to water the +horses, there is a little house, and while we waited there, out from the +house came a man whose face was all scarred and seamed. After we drove +away, the stage-driver told us that the man was a hunter, known as +"Mountain Charley," and that his scars were made by a grisly-bear. + +Well, we have now been at Santa Cruz a week, and I have had a good time. +Every morning we go in bathing. It is a funny sight to see everybody +racing down into the waves, and catching hold of a big rope that is +stretched from the shore a good distance into the water. The undertow +here is so strong, that it is not safe to venture away from the rope. + +Yesterday we all went to Moore's Beach to have a "clam-bake." We rode in +a big wagon; and the first thing we did, when we got to the beach, was +to pull off our shoes and stockings, and wade in the water. Papa and +Uncle John dug the clams; while the rest of us ran about hunting for +sea-urchins and shells. + +As soon as the clams were boiled, we sat down on the beach, and unpacked +the lunch-baskets. Oh, how hungry we were! and how good every thing +tasted. + +There was one lady in the party, who sat up high on the rocks, with her +kid gloves on, and her sunshade over her, while the rest of us were +running about with bare feet, and skirts tucked up. But at lunch-time +she came down from her high place, and I saw her eating clams with as +good a relish as any of us. + +Next week we are going to Pescadero, and, perhaps, I will write to you +again from there. + + DAISY. + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + +THE PARROT WHO PLAYED THE MASTER. + +A STORY WITH A MORAL. + + +The master of the house had gone out on business. As he shut the door, +the parrot, whose place was on a perch in the room, thought to himself, +"Hi! Now I am master in this house, and I'll let people know it." + +He thereupon threw his head proudly on one side, and spread himself in +a very pompous manner; then, as he had seen his master do, broke the +finest rose from the bush, and put the stem in his bill; then looked at +his gay-colored coat in the glass, and felt as grand as a born nobleman. + +Near by, on the rug, two dogs, Ami and Finette, lay asleep. They were +well-trained, obedient dogs, clean-limbed and civil, expert in many +clever tricks, but not quite a match for the parrot in cleverness +and cunning. + +As soon as the latter spied them, he cried out, imitating his master's +tones, "Finette, attention! Ami, make ready!" Whereupon Ami stood up on +his hind-legs, straight as a sentinel; while Finette hurried up, +expecting to have something thrown for him to bring back. + +There stood and stood the poor simpletons, steadfastly looking up, while +Master Poll cried sternly all the while, "Ami, make ready! Finette, +attention!" Finette became almost wild with eagerness; and poor Ami +could hardly stand on his hind-legs any longer. + +At last the master came home, and put an end to the torture of the +poor dogs. + +The moral of my story is this: whenever a simpleton puts on airs and +plays the master, there are always other simpletons ready to obey +his commands. + + VICTOR BLUTHGEN. + + + + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + +CATSKILL-MOUNTAIN HOUSE. + + +My little friend Mabel is passing the summer amid the Catskill +Mountains. These mountains are in the State of New York, on the west +side of the Hudson River. + +Round Top and High Peak, two of the highest summits, are about +thirty-eight hundred feet above the level of the sea. They are well +covered with forests, and in autumn, when the leaves begin to change, +they make a very brilliant show. + +The Catskill-Mountain House is finely situated on a rocky terrace, +twenty-two hundred feet above the river. It is twelve miles from the +village of Catskill, and is much resorted to in the summer season. + +The prospect from this house is quite extensive. Mabel writes me that +the view of the sunrise is grand; the air is cool and bracing; and the +sight of the tops of trees rolling below, like a sea, for miles and +miles, is a thing to remember. + + ANNA LIVINGSTON. + + + + +[Illustration] + +SLEEPING IN THE SUNSHINE. + +[Illustration: Music] + +Words by MATTHIAS BARR.

LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation.

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 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. |
