This statement is repeated in Cooper's + <i>Muses' Library</i>, p. 331.; Nichols's <i>Select Poems</i>, vol. i., + p. 276.; Sir E. Brydges's edition of Philips's <i>Theatrum Poetarum</i>, + 1800, p. 272.; Sir Harris Nicolas's edition of Davison's <i>Poetical + Rhapsody</i>, vol. i. p. cii., &c. And Headley, in his <i>Select + Beauties of Poetry</i>, ed. 1787, vol. i. p. xli., adds, "he was a man of + <i>low</i> extraction!" Wood's assertion concerning Davies's parentage, + was made, I believe, upon the authority of Fuller; but it is undoubtedly + an error, as the books which record the admission of the younger Davies + into the Society of the Middle Temple, say the father was "late of New + Inn, <i>gentleman</i>."</p> + + <p>Mr. Robert R. Pearce, in a recent work, entitled <i>A History of the + Inns of Court and Chancery</i>, 8vo. 1848, p. 293., gives the following + sketch of the leading facts in the life of our "poetical + lawyer:"—</p> + +<blockquote class="b1n"> + + <p>"Sir John Davis, the author of <i>Reports</i>, and several other legal + works, and a poet of considerable repute, was of this Society + [<i>i.e.</i> the Middle Temple]. His father was a member of New Inn, and + a practitioner of the law in Wiltshire. At the Middle Temple, young Davis + became rather notorious for his irregularities, and having beaten Mr. + Richard Martin (also a poet, and afterwards Recorder of London) in the + hall, he was expelled the house. Afterwards, through the influence of + Lord Chancellor Ellesmere, he was restored to his position in the Middle + Temple; and, in 1601, was elected a Member of the House of Commons. In + 1603, he was appointed by King James Solicitor-General in Ireland. In + 1606, he was called to the degree of Serjeant-at-Law; and, in the + following year, was knighted by the King at Whitehall. In 1612, he + published a book on the state of Ireland, which is often referred to; and + soon afterwards he was appointed King's Serjeant, and Speaker of the + House of Commons in Ireland. On his return to England he published his + reports of cases adjudged in the King's Court in Ireland,—the first + reports of Irish cases made public. The preface to these reports is very + highly esteemed. It has been said to vie with Coke in solidity and + learning, and equal Blackstone in classical illustration and elegant + language. Sir John Davis died 7th of December, 1626."</p> + +</blockquote> + + <p>It is amusing to see how erroneous statements creep into ordinary + biography. Headley, as we have just seen, calls Davies "a man of + <i>low</i> extraction;" and now we find a more recent biographer adding + (without the shadow of an authority), "at the Middle Temple, young Davies + became <i>rather notorious for his irregularities</i>!"</p> + + <p>Davies's quarrel with Richard Martin is alluded to by Wood. After + speaking of his admission into the Middle Temple, and of his being made a + barrister (July, 1595), that writer adds:—</p> + +<blockquote class="b1n"> + + <p>"But so it was that he [Sir John Davies] being a high-spirited young + man, did, upon some little provocation or punctilio, bastinado Rich. + Martin (afterwards Recorder of London) in the Common Hall of the Middle + Temple, while he was at dinner. For which act being forthwith [February, + 1597-8] expell'd, he retired for a time in private, lived in Oxon in the + condition of a sojourner, and follow'd his studies, tho' he wore a cloak. + However, among his serious thoughts, making reflections upon his own + condition, which sometimes was an affliction to him, he composed that + excellent philosophical and divine poem called <i>Nosce Teipsum</i>."</p> + +</blockquote> + + <p>It is not a little singular that this very Richard Martin, whose + chastisement is thus recorded, had <!-- Page 83 --><span + class="pagenum"><a name="page83"></a>{83}</span>been on terms of strict + friendship with our "high-spirited" young lawyer. In 1596, Davies had + published his poem on dancing, entitled <i>Orchestra</i>, the title-page + of which is followed by a dedicatory sonnet "To his very friend, Ma. + Richard Martin." This sonnet is written in extravagant terms of + friendship and admiration; and as it is only to be found in the + <i>rare</i> first edition, and in the almost equally rare + <i>Bibliographical Catalogue of the Ellesmere Collection</i>, some of + your readers may not be displeased to see it on the present + occasion:—</p> + + <div class="poem"> + <div class="stanza"> + <p class="hg3">"TO HIS VERY FRIEND MA. RICH. MARTIN.</p> + </div> + + <div class="stanza"> + <p class="hg3">"To whom shall I this dauncing Poeme send,</p> + <p class="i1">This suddaine, rash, halfe-capreol of my wit?</p> + <p class="i1">To you, first mover and sole cause of it,</p> + <p>Mine-owne-selves better halve, my deerest frend.</p> + <p>O, would you yet my Muse some Honny lend</p> + <p class="i1">From your mellifluous tongue, whereon doth sit</p> + <p class="i1">Suada in majestie, that I may fit</p> + <p>These harsh beginnings with a sweeter end.</p> + <p class="i1">You know the modest sunne full fifteene times</p> + <p>Blushing did rise, and blushing did descend,</p> + <p class="i1">While I in making of these ill made rimes,</p> + <p>My golden bowers unthriftily did spend.</p> + <p class="i1">Yet, if in friendship you these numbers prayse,</p> + <p class="i1">I will mispend another fifteene dayes."</p> + </div> + </div> + <p>The cause of quarrel between the two young lawyers is not known, but + the "offence," whatever it was, was not slight. In the year 1622, when + Davies reprinted his poetical works, we find that his feelings of + resentment against his once "very friend" had not abated, for in place of + the dedicatory sonnet to Richard Martin, is substituted a sonnet + addressed to Prince Charles; and at the conclusion of the poem, he left a + <i>hiatus</i> after the one hundred and twenty-sixth stanza, on account + of the same quarrel.</p> + + <p>Sir John Davies's celebrated poem, <i>Nosce Teipsum</i> (mentioned by + Wood in the previous extract), is said to have gained the author the + favour of James I., even before he came to the crown. Wood gives the + precise period of its composition, and, I think, with every appearance of + truth, although it does not accord with the statement of modern + biographers, that it was written at twenty-five years of age. (See + Campbell's <i>Essay on Poetry</i>, &c., ed. 1848, p. 184.) The first + edition of this poem was printed in 4to. in the year 1599, and has for + its title the following:—</p> + +<blockquote class="b1n"> + + <p>"<i>Nosce Teipsum</i>. This Oracle expounded in Two Elegies. 1. Of + Humane Knowledge. 2. Of the Soule of Man, and the Immortalitie thereof. + London, Printed by Richard Field, for John Standish. 43 leaves."</p> + +</blockquote> + + <p>As I am deeply interested in all that relates to the subject of this + note, I have compiled a list of editions of the above poem, which shows + its popularity for more than a century and a half:—</p> + + <div class="poem"> + <div class="stanza"> + </div> + + <div class="stanza"> + <p>1. 1599. <i>London</i>, 4to.

In Davies's <i>Poetical Works</i>, edited by Thompson.</p> + </div> + </div> + <p>Sir John Davies left behind him a large number of MSS. upon various + subjects, none of which have since been printed. It would be very + desirable that a list, as far as can now be made out, should be put on + record. Anthony Wood says, several of Davies's MSS. were formerly in the + library of Sir James Ware of Ireland and since that in the possession of + Edward, Earl of Clarendon. The most interesting of these MSS. were a + Collection of Epigrams, and a Metaphrase of David's Psalms. The Harleian + MSS., Nos. 1578. and 4261., contain two law treatises of this learned + writer, and in Thorpe's <i>Catalogue</i> for 1823, I find <i>A Treatise + of Tenures touchinge his Majesties Prerogative Royal</i>, by John Davies, + folio, MS.</p> + + <p>Granger does not record any engraved portrait of this writer, and all + my enquiries have failed in discovering one. In Mr. Soame Jenyn's Hall, + at Botesham, in Cambridgeshire (in 1770), was a full-length portrait of + an elderly gentleman in a gown, with a book in one hand, on which is + written "<i>Nosce Teipsum</i>." If this is a genuine portrait of Sir John + Davies, it ought to be engraved to accompany a new edition of his + poetical works; a publication which the lovers of our old poetry would + deem an acceptable offering.</p> + + <p class="author"><span class="sc">Edward F.

One type only was in circulation, + and this appears to have been very limited, for it is somewhat scarce, + though a specimen may easily be procured of any dealer in coins for a few + shillings. This bears the bust of the <!-- Page 84 --><span + class="pagenum"><a name="page84"></a>{84}</span>Queen, with the legend + <span class="scac">ANNA DEI GRATIA</span>—reverse, <span + class="scac">BRITANNIA</span> around the trite figure of Britannia with + the spear and olive-branch: the date 1714 in the exergue. Those with + Peace in a car, Britannia standing with olive-branch and spear, or seated + under an arch, are patterns; the second has the legend <span + class="scac">BELLO ET PACE</span> in indented letters, a mode revived in + the reign of George III. It is said that many years ago a lady in the + north of England lost one of the farthings of Queen Anne, which she much + prized as the bequest of a deceased friend, and that having offered in + the public journals a large reward for its recovery, it was ever + afterwards supposed that any farthing of this monarch was of great + value.</p> + + <p class="author"><span class="sc">J.

(Vol. iii., pp. 24, 25.) has described a 12mo., or + rather an 8vo., copy of Latin Psalter in his possession, and he wishes to + know whether Montanus had any connexion with one of the translations + therein exhibited. The title-page of your correspondent's volume will + tell him precisely what the book contains. He had better not rely too + much upon MS. remarks in any of his treasures; and when a bibliographical + question is being investigated, let <i>Cyclopędias</i> by all means not + be disturbed from their shelves. Would it not be truly marvellous if a + volume, printed by Robert Stephens in 1556, could in that year have + presented, by prolepsis, to its precocious owner a version which Bened. + Arias Montanus did not execute until 1571? But P. H. F.'s communication + excites another query. He appears to set a special value upon his Psalter + because that the verses are in it distinguished by cyphers; but Pagnini's + whole Bible, which I spoke of, came thirty years before it, and we have + still to go nearly twenty years farther back in search of the earliest + example of the employment of Arabic figures to mark the verses in the + Book of Psalms. The <i>Quincuplex Psalterium</i>, by Jacques le Fevre, is + a most beautiful book, perhaps the finest production of the press of + Henry Stephens the elder; and not only are the verses numbered in the + copy before me, which is of the improved "secunda emissio" in 1513, but + the initial letters of them are in red. At signature <span + class="scac">A</span> iiij. there is a very handsome woodcut of the + letter <span class="scac">A.</span>, somewhat of a different style, from + the larger (not the Ascensian) <span class="scac">P.</span>, within the + periphery of which St. Paul is represented, and which is so well worthy + of notice in Le Fevre's edition of the <i>Epistole diui Pauli + Apostoli</i>, Paris, 1517. The inquiry toward which I have been + travelling is this, When did Henry Stephens first make use of the open + Ratdoltian letter on dotted ground? (See Maitland's <i>Lambeth List</i>, + p. 328. Dibdin's <i>Typog. Antiq.</i> vol. i., Prel. Disquis., p. + xl.)</p> + + <p>(32.) Is there extant any collation of the various exemplars of the + <i>Alphabetum divini Amoris</i>? And has an incontrovertible opinion been + formed as to the paternity of this tract? For the common error of + ascribing it to Gerson is entirely inexcusable, as this Parisian + chancellor is frequently alleged therein. The third volume of his works, + set forth by Du Pin, in 1706, contains this "Treatise of the Elevation of + the Soul to God," and the editor has left the blunder uncorrected in his + <i>Eccles. Hist.</i> iii. 53. Again, can it be affirmed that the folio + impression of Louvain, (Panzer, ix. 243.), in which Gerson's name occurs, + was assuredly anterior to the small black-letter and <!-- Page 87 + --><span class="pagenum"><a name="page87"></a>{87}</span>anonymous + editions, likewise without dates? Two of the latter (one much older than + the other) are of 12mo. size, in 8vo., as is also Bonaventura's + <i>Stimulus divini Amoris</i>, printed in 1510 and 1517.</p> + + <p>(33.) In what way can we detect the propounder of the <i>Notabilis + expositio super canonem misse</i>? His work is of small folio size + without mention of place or year; but it certainly proceeded from + Nuremberg, and was it not one of the <i>primitię</i> of Creusner?</p> + + <p>(34.) Who is designated by the letters "G. N. N. D.," which are put at + the head of the Epistle to Zuinglius, <i>De Magistris nostris + Lovaniensibus, quot et quales sint</i>? And why has the <i>Vita S. + Nicolai, sive Stultitię Exemplar</i>, originally attached to this + performance, been omitted by Dr. Münch in his edition of the <i>Epistolę + obscurorum Vivorum, aliaque ęvi decimi sexti Monimenta rarissima</i>, + Leipzig, 1827? If he had reprinted this very desirable appendix, it would + have furnished him with the date "Anno <span + class="scac">M.D.XX.</span>," which would have prevented him from + assigning this satirical composition to the year "1521." (Einl. p. + 408.)</p> + + <p>(35.) A student can scarcely be considered moderately well versed in + ancient ecclesiastical documents who has neither read nor heard of the + <i>Somnium Viridarii</i>; and we may wonder at, and pity, the learned + Goldast, for having fallen into the extravagant mistake of attributing + this Latin translation of the celebrated Dialogue, <i>Le Songe du + Verger</i>, to "Philotheus Achillinus, Consiliarius Regius." (<i>Monarch. + S. Rom. Imper</i>. i. 58. Hanov. 1612.) The question arises, How was he + misled? Was it not through a strange misconception of a sentence in the + <i>Silva Nuptialis</i> of Nevizan, to which he refers in his preliminary + "Dissertatio de Auctoribus?" This writer, who has been plentifully + purified by the Roman <i>Index</i>, had cited the preface of an Italian + poem, "Il Viridario," composed by his contemporary, Giovanni <span + class="sc">Filoteo Achillini</span>; and is it thus that an author of the + sixteenth century has got credit for an anonymous achievement of the + fourteenth age? Goldastus has hardly been out-Heroded by those who have + devised an individual named <i>Viridarius</i>, or "Le Sieur <i>du + Vergier</i>." (See Baillet, <i>Déguisemens des Auteurs</i>, p. 479., and + M. De la Monnoye's note, pp. 501-2.)</p> + + <p>(36.) Is there not a transpositional misprint in the colophon of the + old German <i>Life of S. Dorothea</i>, the so-called patroness of + Prussia?

The original drawing, and a fine impression of + the engraving, is preserved in the illustrated Grainger's <i>History of + England</i>, in the print-room at the British Museum. It was copied in + folio for Bunyan's <i>Works</i>. It has been recently copied for Mr. + Bogue's elegant edition of the <i>Pilgrim</i>, and for the first complete + edition of Bunyan's <i>Works</i>, now publishing by Messrs. Blackie and + Sons, Glasgow. A fac-simile was engraved for an edition of the + <i>Pilgrim</i>, by Mr. Pickering, 8vo. 1849.</p> + + <p>That the great allegorist was not the author of <i>Heart's Ease</i> in + <i>Heart Trouble</i> is perfectly clear, not only that the style is very + different, but from the author being known. It was first published in + 1690, under the initials of J. B., and the Epistle is dated "From the + house of my pilgrimage, March, 1690." Bunyan died in August, 1688. Mr. + Palmer, in his <i>Calamy</i>, vol. ii. p.16., states that the author was + James Birdwood.</p> + + <p>Whether Bunyan was acquainted with Hobbes depends upon the authority + of a small volume of <i>Visions of Heaven and Hell</i>, published under + the name of Bunyan. In this it is represented that he saw poor Hobbes in + hell, and recognised an old acquaintance.</p> + + <p>The earliest edition of <i>The Visions</i> which I have been able to + discover, is at "London: printed for Edward Midwinter, at the Looking + Glass upon London Bridge, price, bound, one shilling;" without date. It + was printed early in the reign of George I.; this is seen in an + advertisement of books at the end, among which is <i>The Lives of the + Monarchs of England to his present Majesty King George</i>. It is + entitled, <i>The Visions of John Bunyan, being his last remains</i>. + There is no account of either of this, or the <i>Heart's Ease</i>, in + <i>The Struggler for the Preservation of Mr. John Bunyan's Labours</i>. + This gives a list of forty-three works published by him, and of seventeen + left by him at his decease for publication. If <i>The Visions</i> were + written by him, it must have escaped the search of his widow and + surviving friends; but the style at once proves that it was not a + production of his prolific pen. Bunyan's style was remarkably simple and + plain. The following phrases extracted from <i>The Visions</i> will carry + conviction to every reader:—</p> + +<blockquote class="b1n"> + + <p>"Mormo's of a future state," "metempsychosis of nature," "nefandous + villanies," "diurnal and annual," "my visive faculty," "soul-transparent + and diaphonous," "translucid ray," "terrene enjoyments," "our minds are + clarified," "types both of the ante and post-diluvian world," "the + tenuity thereof," "the aereal heavens," "effluxes of divine glory," "all + ęnigmas," "corruscations of his divine nature," "Solomon's mystick + epithalamium," "the epiphonema," "propinquity in nature," "diversified + refractions," "too bright and too diaphonous," "sweet odes and + eniphalamics," "amarantine crown," "bright corruscancy," "palinodies and + elegies," "no cataplasm," "eccentricks quite exterminate," "mutual + assassinates," &c. &c.</p> + +</blockquote> + + <p>Such phrases and terms plain John Bunyan utterly despised. They prove, + as does the whole plan of the treatise, that it must have been a very + different man to the author of the <i>Pilgrim's Progress</i> who wrote + these <i>Visions</i>.</p> + +<p><!-- Page 90 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="page90"></a>{90}</span></p> + + <p>It is not likely that Hobbes and Bunyan were acquainted; they lived in + distant parts of the country. Bunyan's <i>Pilgrim</i>, which was the + foundation of his wide-spread fame, was not published till 1678, when the + Leviathan philosopher was ninety years of age; he died in 1679. Hobbes' + company were the learned and illustrious among men,—the Des + Carteses, Gassendis, and Wallises of his age; while Bunyan associated + with the despised Nonconformists. Nor is is likely that Bunyan read the + <i>Leviathan</i>; Dent's <i>Plain Man's Pathway to Heaven, The Practice + of Piety</i>, Fox's <i>Martyrs</i>, and, above all, his Bible, + constituted his library during his imprisonment for conscience-sake, + which lasted from 1660 to 1672. Had he suffered from Hobbes's philosophy, + he would have proclaimed it upon the house-tops, especially in his + <i>Grace Abounding</i>, that others might have been guarded from such + dangerous scepticism.

Ellis</span> adds, that—</p> + +<blockquote class="b1n"> + + <p>"A charter of King Canute's styles Saviour's church, Canterbury, the + mother and mistress of all churches in the kingdom of + England."-<i>Ęcclesia Salvatoris</i>, &c.</p> + +</blockquote> + + <p>I conceive these accounts to be perfectly reconcilable. From Bede's + <i>Ecclesiastical History</i> (b. i., caps. 25, 26.), we learn that, on + the east side of Canterbury, in the year 597, there was a church + dedicated to the honour of St. Martin, that was "built while the Romans + were still in the island," some two hundred years before this date. St. + Martin's was the church wherein Bertha, Queen of Kent, used to pray; she + having been a Christian of the Royal Family of the Franks.</p> + + <p>It will, of course, be allowed that during the sixth, seventh, and + eighth centuries, different saints were held in especial honour in + different countries. For instance, not long after the arrival of the + Roman missionaries in England, various churches and monasteries,—at + Canterbury, Lindisfarne, Bamborough, Lichfield, Weremouth, and Jarrow, + and the capital city of the Picts,—were wholly or partially named + after St. Peter. When Naitan, King of the Picts, was about to build his + church, he sought the assistance of the Abbot of Weremouth, a strong + supporter of Roman observances, and "promised to dedicate the same in + honour of St. Peter," and to follow the custom of the Roman church, in + certain matters, which the subjects of his kingdom had protested against, + for more than a hundred years.</p> + + <p>Now, on the occasion of Queen Bertha's leaving France, she was + accompanied to England by a bishop of her native country, named Luidhard; + and when it is remembered that they settled in Kent, amongst heathens of + great superstition,—an example of which is recorded on the part of + her own husband,—it is natural to suppose they would, in some + public manner, seek the especial protection of the popular saint of + France; and that saint was Martin. For so profound was the popular + veneration which the Franks at one period offered to the power of Saint + Martin, that they even computed ordinary occurrences and national events, + by an era which commenced with the year of his death.<a + name="footnotetag3" href="#footnote3"><sup>[3]</sup></a></p> + + <p>It is therefore very probable that the public act of reverence just + alluded to, consisted in a new dedication of the repaired church, by + adding to the ancient name that of St. Martin.</p> + + <p>That a practice of altering the names of sacred edifices in this + manner was common at the date under consideration, cannot be questioned. + For example, Bishop Aidan, about the year 652, built a church in the + island of Lindisfarne, the name of which is now unknown. This structure, + however, having been destroyed by a fire, his successor, Finan, erected + another on the same site, and apparently of the same name. But when a + second fire destroyed this church also, in some five and twenty or thirty + years, "a larger church" was erected on the old site, and gratefully + "dedicated in honour of St. Peter," by Theodore of Roman appointment, + "the first archbishop whom all the English church obeyed." (<i>Bede</i>, + iii. 17. and 25., and iv. 2.) Here, then, a new name was given to a + church on the site of a former one of different appellation; and in + Lichfield, we have two examples of similar alterations in the names of + churches; one St. Chad's Church, Stow, and the other, the cathedral. On + the site of the former, according to Bede, Bishop Chad built a St. Mary's + Church, hard by which he was buried; "but afterwards, when the church of + the most holy prince of the apostles, Peter, was built, his bones were + translated into it." (<i>Ecc. History</i>, iv. 3.) That is to say, when + Chad was canonised, his remains were removed to the site of the present + cathedral, as relics over which the principal church of the Mercian + kingdom was to be erected.</p> + + <p>Throughout the various documents relating to this church, which are + preserved in Dugdale's <i>Monasticon</i>, vol. iii. pp. 219-255, Savoy + edition, <!-- Page 91 --><span class="pagenum"><a + name="page91"></a>{91}</span>the cathedral is generally styled the church + of St. Mary and St. Chad.

Neither the etymology nor the exact + meaning of the word "to pose," are easy to determine. It seems to be + abbreviated from the old verb "to appose;" which meant, to set a task, to + subject to an examination or interrogatory; and hence to perplex, to + embarrass, to puzzle.

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 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. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy +is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further +opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4.

Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied +warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. +If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the +law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be +interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by +the applicable state law.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> |
