+INTRODUCTION
+
+
+The outlines herewith presented have grown out of the necessities of a
+course conducted by the writer in the training of teachers in the
+University of Michigan. The course has been styled "Methods and High
+School Observations in History." It has been open only to seniors and
+graduate students who have specialized in history and who expect to
+teach that subject in high schools. The work has consisted of one class
+meeting per week for eighteen weeks, and of twenty hour-observations of
+history teaching in the Ann Arbor High School. The outlines, therefore,
+were designed to serve as a guide to these observations and as a basis
+for subsequent discussions.
+
+In order that the students might have a deeper appreciation of the
+meaning of history and the various conceptions that have been held
+regarding it, and in order that they might possess at least a general
+knowledge of the place history has occupied in the schools, the
+elements composing historical events, and the values attributed to
+historical study, it seemed appropriate to preface the special queries
+respecting method by some introductory suggestions of a general
+character. This fact explains the inclusion of such material as is
+found in the first few pages of the present booklet.
+
+In the hope, therefore, that students of Education in other colleges,
+universities, and normal schools may find suggestions in the material
+here brought together, and that teachers in active school work may also
+receive some practical help therefrom, the writer has been encouraged
+to place the outlines at the disposal of the public. If they shall
+prove of service to his colleagues and their students elsewhere, his
+aim and purpose will be fully met.

+   contemporary magazines.
+
+   (_j_) Writings on local history, e.g., Cooley's _History of
+   Michigan_; Putnam's _Primary and Secondary Education in Michigan_;
+   Michigan Pioneer Collection Articles.
+
+
+QUERIES
+
+1. How can primary source material be employed by teachers of history
+in the elementary and high school?
+
+2. To what extent ought it to be employed?
+
+3. Would the course of history offered, the year in which it is taught,
+and the character of the school and its pupils, affect the answer? If
+so, how?
+
+4. What place in the high school has such a book as Hill's _Liberty
+Documents_?
+
+5. To what extent do the observations made by you coincide with your
+views respecting the use of primary source material?
+
+6. Make a list of ten or more "source materials" you personally could
+use in your teaching of history. Why would you select the "material"
+you have?
+
+
+1. How can the quasi-primary source material be used in elementary
+schools and high schools?
+
+2. What phases of such material do you plan to use?
+
+3. What is the basis for your selection?
+
+4. Could every high school teacher of history make effective use of the
+material you mention?
+
+5. What deduction follows from your answer?
+
+6. What have been your observations respecting the employment of
+material of this kind? Would such material lend itself to use in every
+recitation period?
+
+
+ 1. Should more than one textbook be used in a given course in history?
+Why?
+
+ 2. Does the grade in which the subject is taught affect the answer?
+
+ 3. How can the larger historical works, biographies, and compendiums of
+history be used in the high school?
+
+ 4. Is it practicable to have "special reports" from such sources made
+daily?
+
+ 5. Should the teacher expect all pupils to make frequent "special
+reports"?
+
+ 6. In how far is it feasible to supplement the textbook by means of
+definite class-readings?
+
+ 7. Should class-readings be assigned on a page basis, or on a topical
+basis, or be left to individual selection and spontaneous effort?
+
+ 8. Should exact references be given or should pupils be encouraged to
+master the art of finding for themselves, _within given_ limits, the
+supplementary data sought?
+
+ 9. Precisely how can a high school teacher make use of such a treatise
+as Montesquieu's _The Spirit of the Laws_?
+
+10. Make a list of at least twenty selections from historical novels,
+historical dramas, poems, essays, and monographs that you, as a teacher
+of history, could employ in the high school. What fact or event would
+you attempt to illustrate by each of these selections?
+
+11. What use should high school teachers and pupils make of material
+dealing with local history?
+
+12. What constitutes a good textbook in history for high school use?
+
+13. Make a list of some of the modern textbooks on each of the
+following phases of history: (_a_) Ancient; (_b_) Mediaeval and Modern;
+(_c_) English; (_d_) French; (_e_) American; (_f_) Civil Government.
+What would be your first and your second choices of texts in each of
+these six divisions, and why, specifically, would you make those
+choices?
+
+14. What texts are used in the high schools you have observed?
+
+15. What school authorities ought to select the texts to be used in the
+high school? 16. How far have your observations in the high school been
+in accord with your ideals and theories with respect to the kinds and
+uses of historical "material" of all kinds?
+
+
+
+
+IV. _Conceptions of the Purpose and Content of History._[1]
+
+
+1. As polite literature: the Greek and Roman idea, e.g., Herodotus,
+Thucydides, Xenophon, Livy, Sallust, Caesar, Tacitus.
+
+2. As annals and chronicles only: the Mediaeval idea, e.g., Gregory of
+Tours, Froissart, Einhard.
+
+3. As a basis for governmental policies and as a means of interpreting
+literature: the Renaissance idea, e.g., Machiavelli, Petrarch,
+Boccaccio.
+
+4. As a basis for theological dogma and religious practices: the
+Reformation idea, e.g., Luther, Melanchthon, and the Jesuits.
+
+5. As a basis for interpreting legal institutions and practices: the
+idea of the 17th century, e.g., the Jurists.
+
+6. As a foundation for philosophical speculation and a means of
+discovering the deeper influences that affect humanity and hence
+influence action and produce events: the idea of the 18th century,
+e.g., Voltaire and Montesquieu. [Voltaire held that human nature is the
+same under all circumstances and at all times, and hence sought to
+judge historical events by abstract universal standards. The "natural
+man" was his ideal man. Montesquieu, in _The Spirit of the Laws_,
+sought to show that events in history are but the manifestation of
+spiritual law, as revealed in conditions of climate, geography, soil,
+natural resources, racial temperament, etc.]
+
+7. As a foundation for personal reactions, e.g., criticisms,
+interpretation, moralizing, personal philosophizing, or as mere facts
+entertainingly told: the idea of the early 19th century.
+
+8. History as science, i.e., as explanatory of existing social
+institutions, customs, beliefs: the idea of the 20th century.
+
+      [1] The fundamental purpose of historical writing has ever been
+      the recording of events. In addition, however, different ages
+      have stressed other aims.
+
+
+
+
+V. _Some Notable Influences and Persons that have modified the
+Conception of the Meaning of History in the Last Century._
+
+
+ 1. Romantic School (late 18th century and early 19th century), with its
+deep reverence for the Middle Ages. Hence sympathetic treatment of
+history.
+
+ 2. Herder (1744-1803), with his philosophy of "becoming" or
+development. Herder sought to show that all events are but the
+manifestation of a deity striving to work out an ideal universe. Hence
+all events must be judged by the standards of the time and country in
+which they appear, i.e., be judged by the characteristics of the age
+and people affected.
+
+ 3. Hegel (1770-1831) carried the theory of Herder to more complete
+conclusions.
+
+ 4. Niebuhr (1776-1831), "one of the most acute historical critics and
+philologists of modern times." Niebuhr was among the first to emphasize
+the need of a critical examination of source material, and of the
+building up the past out of these data.
+
+ 5. Ranke, Leopold von (1795-1886). His aim was to set before the reader
+the entire picture of events "with their causes, relations, and
+consequences."
+
+ 6. Guizot, Francois P. G. (1787-1874). His great influence was in
+extending the scope of history so as to include universal history, not
+merely national history, or the history of isolated and local events.
+
+ 7. Carlyle (1795-1881), through his keen insight into character and his
+love of hero-worship, introduced the vividly realistic and picturesque
+element.
+
+ 8. Buckle (1821-1862) included economic forces in his studies and
+sought the spirit of history apart from particular men and events.
+
+ 9. Macaulay (1800-1859) presented historical philosophy and the laws
+and theories of government in eloquent and fascinating style, thus
+bringing to the popular mind an interest that had heretofore been
+slight.
+
+10. Froude (1818-1894), in charming literary style but with
+carelessness of detail, emphasized the personal element in history and
+set himself the ideal of "simply recording human actions without
+theorizing theron."
+
+11. Stubbs (1825-1901) "introduced the critical study of mediaeval
+sources into England," employed exact methods of work, and gave impetus
+to constitutional history.
+
+12. Green (1837-1883) depicted the progress of the life of the people
+and dealt only incidentally with the political history of the state.
+
+13. Schmoller (1838- ) emphasized the economic aspects of history.
+
+
+
+
+VI. _History in the Curriculum._
+
+
+1. Pre-Renaissance Period: Incidental historical study made in
+connection with the study of biography and literature.
+
+2. Renaissance Period: Historical studies pursued as auxiliary to the
+interpretation of the classics.
+
+3. Post-Renaissance Period in Europe.
+
+   (_a_) Heraldry and local, contemporary historical incidents and
+   events taught in Ritterakedemien after 1648.
+
+   (_b_) In Germany, the systematic study of history in schools really
+   dates from about 1806, though an independent status was given
+   history in the universities (particularly in Goettingen) in the 18th
+   century.
+
+   (_c_) In France, historical study was introduced by Guizot (about
+   1833) but received no great attention until after 1860, though
+   there was nominally a chair of history in the College de France
+   after 1769.
+
+   (_d_) In England, none but incidental attention was given
+   historical study until after the middle of the 19th century, though
+   there was a professorship of ancient history at Oxford in 1622, and
+   professorships of modern history were found at both Oxford and
+   Cambridge in 1724.
+
+4. Historical Study in America.
+
+   (_a_) History was taught incidentally by professors of philosophy
+   in most of the universities from their founding.
+
+   (_b_) Yale had a professorship of ecclesiastical history in
+   1778-1795.
+
+   (_c_) Harvard established the first professorship in history (in
+   the general sense of the term) in 1839, Jared Sparks being the
+   first incumbent.
+
+   (_d_) Columbia University and the University of Michigan
+   established chairs of history in 1857.
+
+   (_e_) Yale established a chair of history in 1865.
+
+   (_f_) The first seminary in history was established at the
+   University of Michigan in 1869 by Prof. C. K. Adams.
+
+   (_g_) General history and ancient history were found in normal
+   schools after about 1850.
+
+   (_h_) In secondary schools (first in academies, then later in high
+   schools) history was taught as a separate study from about 1830.
+   General history or ancient history received almost the sole
+   emphasis, though English history was sometimes taught. In 1847
+   Harvard first began the practice of requiring history for
+   admission.
+
+   (_i_) History work in elementary schools grew out of the study of
+   geography, and became a separate study about 1845.
+
+   (_j_) Until about 1893 the only course given really serious
+   attention in the high school was that of Ancient History in the
+   classical course. The courses in General History, English History
+   and American History were, for the most part, bookish, superficial,
+   and devitalized.
+
+   (_k_) The Madison Conference (instituted by the N. E. A. in 1892)
+   gave the first concerted impetus to the serious study of history in
+   American public schools.
+
+   (_l_) The Report of the Committee of Ten of the N. E. A. in 1893
+   contains extensive and almost revolutionizing suggestions for
+   improving the organization, study, and presentation of history in
+   the schools.
+
+   (_m_) The Report of the Committee of Seven of the American
+   Historical Association in 1896 supplemented the contemporary
+   efforts at reform.
+
+   (_n_) The Report of the Committee of Five of the American
+   Historical Association in 1907 embodied the best ideas which the
+   decade had developed looking to further improvement of historical
+   study and teaching.
+
+   (_o_) The Committee of Eight has still more recently sought to
+   perfect the art of studying and teaching the subject.
+
+
+
+
+VII. _Values and Aims of History._
+
+
+1. Psychological.
+
+   (_a_) It develops the power of constructive imagination through the
+   visualizing of scenes, events, and characters, and the effort to
+   put oneself back into the past.
+
+   (_b_) It trains the reasoning faculty through the necessity of
+   analyzing data, seeking causes and effects, and following
+   historical development wherever it may lead.
+
+   (_c_) It develops the power of associative memory through the
+   necessity of bringing facts into their essential and definite
+   relations.
+
+   (_d_) It trains the judgment, through requiring the mind to make
+   estimates respecting
+
+         (1) The probability of the fact recorded.
+
+         (2) The possibility and probability of accurate statement on
+         the part of the one recording the event.
+
+         (3) The efficiency of the adjustment of means to ends.
+
+         (4) The righteousness of the act.
+
+         (5) The motives and ideals that dominated the act.
+
+   (_e_) It develops the power of comparison through demanding
+   attention to similarities and differences in motives, agents,
+   means, processes, events, places, dates, and results.
+
+   (_f_) It develops the power of classification--of cooerdinating and
+   subordinating data.
+
+   (_g_) It develops the habit of forming generalizations from
+   detailed facts.
+
+   (_h_) It gives a real conception of the meaning of time, through
+   the considerations of man's slow evolution in social relations.
+
+   (_i_) It gives ability to take a large view of life's affairs and
+   interests,--to see things in their essential relations.
+
+2. Social, Political, and Civic.
+
+   (_a_) It gives habits of analyzing the aims and motives of men, and
+   the means they employ to attain their ends, i.e., it gives insight
+   into character and hence makes social adjustment easier.
+
+   (_b_) It develops tolerance for the opinions, convictions, and
+   ideals of others, and tends to prevent hard, dogmatic, and
+   uncompromising judgments and attitudes.
+
+   (_c_) It gives appreciation of the civic and political institutions
+   of to-day--their origin, development, and purposes--and hence
+   teaches the rights and obligations that are inherent in
+   citizenship.
+
+   (_d_) It inspires patriotism "through arousing noble emotions that
+   revolve about inherited responsibilities." ["A study of the times
+   that tried men's souls tends to form souls that are capable of
+   enduring trial."--_Hinsdale._]
+
+   (_e_) It reveals the slow evolutionary processes that operate in
+   social life, and hence tends to encourage one to put himself in
+   harmony with the laws of social evolution and to strive for social
+   betterment while he at the same time is patient with existing
+   conditions.
+
+   (_f_) It breaks down provincialism through revealing the relations,
+   common traits, and interdependence of one community with another,
+   and one nation with all other nations.
+
+3. Moral and Religious.
+
+   (_a_) It habituates to weighing motives and actions as regards
+   their righteousness.
+
+   (_b_) It implants ideals of personal character by disclosing the
+   personal qualities and moral accomplishments of men and women who
+   have, in large ways, affected history, and who have in consequence

+
+IX. _Methods of Approach to the Study of History._
+
+
+1. Chronologically, since there is a continuity in the subject, and
+cause precedes effect. "The childhood of history is best for the child,
+the boyhood of history for the boy, the youthhood of history for the
+youth, and the manhood of history for the man."--_S. S. Laurie_,
+Sch. Rev. 4:650.
+
+2. Counter-chronologically, i.e., from the present time and immediate
+surroundings to remote ages and distant peoples.
+
+3. Spirally, i.e., covering the entire field of study in an elementary
+manner; then repeating the course on a more advanced plane; then taking
+up the work a third and fourth time, supplementing and expanding with
+each new attack.
+
+4. Biographically, i.e., by means of biographies only.
+
+5. Topically, i.e., tracing the development of particular elements in
+history, continuously and uninterruptedly, from the early stages to
+complete forms.
+
+
+QUERIES
+
+1. Which, to you, seems the best approach to the study of history?
+
+2. May several of the above-mentioned modes be employed simultaneously?
+
+3. Is it largely true that the personal or biographic appeals most to
+the child; the speculative, to the boy; the vitally and concretely
+constructive, to the youth; and the critical and philosophical to the
+adult? If so, what should be the character of the work in history in
+the high school?
+
+
+
+
+X. _The Process of Learning History._
+
+
+1. Acquiring and relating detailed facts.
+
+2. Formulating a mental picture of the events.
+
+3. Analyzing the conditions and determining the vital, distinguishing
+characteristics.
+
+4. Getting back of the outer forms, visible expression, or the vital
+facts to the real life of the people--their ideals, ideas, emotions,
+and beliefs.
+
+5. Discovering the motives that produced the events considered.
+
+6. Deducing the principles that operate in human relations.
+
+7. Applying those principles to contemporary civilization to-day, and
+foreshadowing the probable trend of society in the future.
+
+8. Holding consciously to the fact that history is dynamic, not static,
+i.e., that all historical material constitutes a unity that is revealed
+under the two laws of continuity and differentiation.
+
+   "There are no breaks or leaps in the life of a people. Development
+   may hasten or may slacken, and may seem to cease for a time, but
+   it is always continuous; it always proceeds out of antecedent
+   conditions, and if it be arrested for a time it begins again at
+   the point where it ended."
+
+   "Since the essence of history is the real life of a people--their
+   ideas and feelings--history develops as ideas and feelings develop.
+   But thoughts and feelings never exhibit themselves repeatedly in
+   the same forms, but take on new modes of expression in the very
+   process of growth."--_Mace._
+
+
+QUERIES
+
+ 1. Does the teacher observed lay emphasis on details as ends in
+themselves or as means to other ends?
+
+ 2. Is there a "richness" of details or is there a dearth of them?
+
+ 3. Are details presented in a vivid manner, with many gripping
+tentacles, or are they set forth in bold, uninteresting forms only?
+
+ 4. Are the details intimately fused or correlated?
+
+ 5. Is effort made to get each pupil to develop a mental picture of the
+scene represented by the details?
+
+ 6. When the image is fashioned, is an effort made to discriminate and
+to abstract the dominant characteristics?
+
+ 7. Is effort made to get at the spirit of the historical fact, and to
+discover the motives that operated to produce it?
+
+ 8. Are generalizations and principles of human thought, feeling, and
+conduct deduced from the study?
+
+ 9. Is effort made to test the validity of such principles among social
+relationships of to-day?
+
+10. Does the teacher make history appear what it is, i.e., a ceaseless
+development, a unity, or does she leave the impression among the pupils
+that history is a mass of disconnected dead facts?
+

+
+XX. _Some Principles of History Dogmatically Stated._
+
+
+1. "A people's life of thought and feeling obeys the law of continuity
+and of differentiation. The law of continuity means there are no breaks
+or leaps in the life of a people. Development may hasten or slacken and
+may cease for a time, but it is always continuous; the law of
+differentiation means that thoughts and feelings of a people take on
+new forms in the process of growth."--_Mace._
+
+2. History is an evolution--a continuous movement, and causes always
+precede effects.
+
+3. The historical attitude is this: Ascertainment of facts,
+interpretation of actions, investigation of motives, but regarding all
+events as "portions of human life."
+
+4. The notable characteristics of the 19th century are:
+
+   (_a_) Rise of nationality.
+
+   (_b_) Struggle for constitutional government.
+
+   (_c_) Enthusiasm for natural science.
+
+   (_d_) Development of the doctrine of evolution.
+
+   (_e_) Industrial changes.
+
+   (_f_) Economic theory and reform.
+
+Hence, the study of history demands that such items shall be discovered
+as explain and support these elements.
+
+5. It is desirable to develop the historic sense by working outward
+from the industrial activities of the community.
+
+6. It is necessary to reduce diversity to unity.
+
+7. "What is logically first in a subject, i.e., the law or principle,
+comes last into the possession of the unfolding mind."
+
+8. "The worst possible form of education is an abortive education--one
+that falls back on some mysterious disciplinary claim for its
+justification--as if there were any true discipline in failing to
+master a subject."
+
+9. "History shows that men's actions are governed by some kind of
+calculable law." The problem is to discover these laws.
+
+
+
+
+XXI. _Some Positive Guides and Suggestions._
+
+
+ 1. Clearly set forth the problem to be investigated.
+
+ 2. Discover the facts that bear upon this problem--but only the
+significant facts.
+
+ 3. Relate the facts to each other.
+
+ 4. Formulate a mental picture of the events or scenes.
+
+ 5. Seek to discover the causes that lie back of the facts--the
+geographical, meteorological, geological, biological, physiographic,
+and human.
+
+ 6. Seek to discover the motives, interests, and intentions of men and
+societies in producing the events.
+
+ 7. Seek to discover the means employed to realize or attain the ideal,
+motive, or purpose.
+
+ 8. Seek to trace the results--both immediate and remote, and both
+subjective and objective--of the actions thus made.
+
+ 9. Seek for principles of unity and diversity in interpreting the
+events.
+
+10. Make use of time-wholes, space-wholes, and organic-wholes, but
+avoid making artificial divisions.
+
+11. Guide the pupils, but do not dictate their reactions.
+
+12. Make the study stimulate the intellect, the emotions, the will.
+
+13. Force the pupils to think for themselves--to analyze, compare,
+reason, judge, and apply.
+
+14. Show that all history,--battles, institutions, constitutions,
+etc.,--are the result of conflicts of ideas, emotions, ideals, and
+wills.
+
+15. Correlate constantly.
+
+16. Show that institutions of to-day strike their roots deep in the
+past, and are but the complex development of simpler forms.
+
+17. Put life into the dead facts; be interested and enthusiastic.
+
+18. Be honest with the facts and with the pupils; confess ignorance
+rather than endeavor to "bluff."
+
+19. Be free from the textbook.
+
+20. Adapt the work to the pupils' capacities.
+
+21. Arouse, stir, stimulate the pupils and fill with a burning zeal to
+study history.
+
+22. Have variety.
+
+23. Feed the interest once it is aroused.
+
+24. Drill--but by means of use, not by precept.
+
+25. Do not do for pupils what they should do for themselves.
+
+26. Multiply associations.
+
+27. Anticipate for the pupils what is to come, i.e., stimulate interest
+by giving a bird's-eye view of the movement before it is analyzed.
+
+28. Emphasize the operation of cause and effect--what a nation or a
+people sows, so it also reaps.
+
+29. Avoid rote memorizing.
+
+30. Employ recapitulation, summary, and review frequently.
+
+31. Always have a lesson plan.
+
+32. Have "everybody into the game."
+
+33. Shape the work so that it presents the appearance of a real, vital,
+personal problem.
+
+34. Appear to be a learner with the pupils.
+
+35. Make much use of blackboards and concrete material.
+
+36. Emphasize the value of written work, outlines, map study, and
+personal reactions.
+
+37. Illustrate, expound, vivify.
+
+38. Keep pupils looking for resemblances.
+
+39. Teach with reference to applications.
+
+40. Show pupils how to study history.
+
+41. Keep in touch with current events and devote some time each week to
+such events.
+
+42. Have frequent written work, as,
+
+   (_a_) Condensation of a few pages of notable historical works.
+
+   (_b_) Abstracts of accounts of definite events.
+
+   (_c_) Tests, examinations, written lessons.
+
+   (_d_) Notebooks.
+
+   (_e_) Outline maps.
+
+43. Occasionally read selections of historical material before the
+class.

+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

+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.
