+
+
+  [Illustration: WHAT HAPPENS IN SPRING WHEN THE LITTLE BIRDS SING.]
+
+  In the merry spring time, thus says my song,
+  When the sun shines bright and the days grow long,
+  And the crocuses brilliant, in purple and gold,
+  Bloom in the gardens in numbers untold;
+  When in the fields the grass grows green,
+  And a few early lambs are seen;
+  When daffodils in gaudy gowns
+  Look gay upon the verdant downs,
+  And fair spring flowers of each degree
+  In every sheltered nook you see,
+
+
+  [Illustration: HOW MANY STICKS GO TO THE NEST OF A CROW.]
+
+  Upon a bright and sunny day
+  The Crows to one-another say,
+  "CAW! CAW! our nests now let us build."
+  Away they fly: each beak is fill'd
+  With little sticks of beechen wood,
+  With which they build their houses good:
+  When all is done, with joy they see
+  The work of their community.
+
+
+  [Illustration: THE NESTS NOW MADE, THE EGGS ARE LAID.]
+
+  And, circling widely, CAW! they say,
+  CAW! CAW! our eggs now let us lay.
+  Two spotted eggs in every nest
+  For warmth await the mother's breast.
+  And all the Crows around them fly
+  With flapping wings and joyful cry:
+  "CAW! CAW!" they say, "now it is fit
+  That we upon our eggs should sit."
+
+
+  [Illustration: EACH CROW BRINGS FOOD TO HIS MATE SO GOOD.]
+
+  The patient Crows for many a week
+  No other occupation seek;
+  But, while one sits and looks around,
+  The other makes the woods resound
+  With cawings loud, or frequent brings
+  Worms, seeds, or such delicious things,
+  And kindly feeds his brooding mate
+  From early morn till evening late.
+
+
+  [Illustration: THE YOUNG CROW KNOWS WELL HOW TO CHIP THE SHELL.]
+
+  Till, to reward their anxious care,
+  A gentle sound the parents hear
+  Of tapping from within the shell:
+  This sound doth please the mother well,
+  And, fondly helping with her bill,
+  She hears the voices weak and shrill.
+  "Caw! Caw!" the downy young ones say,
+  "How lovely is this peep of day,
+  Oh what a glorious sight is this,
+  There can be nothing here but bliss."
+  "CAW! CAW!" replies the mother crow,
+  "There is no joy unmixed with woe."
+
+
+  [Illustration: THE CROWS SEEK SPOIL FROM THE PLOUGHMAN'S TOIL.]
+
+  The father crows with tender heart
+  In the parental cares take part--
+  "CAW! CAW!" they say, "for food we'll fly
+  Before our young ones hungry cry."
+  In course direct they fly afar
+  To where the ploughmen lab'ring are,
+  And, seeking in the upturn'd soil,
+  They meet with many a wormy spoil;
+  And, filling their capacious beak,
+  Straightway their forest homes they seek.
+
+
+  [Illustration: THE FATHER GOOD BRINGS YOUNG ONES FOOD.]
+
+  The young crows see them homeward fly,
+  And stretch their skinny necks on high;
+  And gulping down the luscious food,
+  "Caw! Caw!" they say, "'tis very good."
+  So daily every parent flies,
+  Each young one grows in strength and size;
+  Till seated on a branch at length,
+  Exulting in increasing strength,
+  "Caw! Caw! Caw! Caw!" they proudly cry,
+  "We shall be flying by and bye;"
+  But ah, poor Crows, there's many a slip
+  Between the cup and longing lip.
+
+
+  [Illustration: THE FARMER IN RAGE, WAR DOTH WAGE.]
+
+  The farmer heard the cawing sound,
+  And sent to all his neighbours round,
+  Begging of them every one
+  To bring a rifle or a gun,
+  If they would come the sport to see
+  Of shooting at the rookery;
+  And try to check the rural pest,
+  Which did the country so infest,
+  And stop the robbery of corn,
+  Which was no longer to be borne.
+
+
+  [Illustration: LITTLE CARE CROWS FOR THE SCARE-CROWS.]
+
+  For though the farmers had a plan
+  To scare them with the form of man,
+  The Crows, at first much terrified,
+  And wheeling high in circles wide,
+  Had soon become too bold for that;
+  And even perched upon the hat,
+  And loud in mockery cried "CAW! CAW!
+  'Tis nothing but a man of straw."
+
+
+  [Illustration: AN OLD CROW'S EYE DOTH MISCHIEF SPY.]
+
+  The next day, as the picture shows,
+  The farmers met to shoot the Crows--
+  Their rustling underneath the trees
+  The young ones thought was but the breeze;
+  But an old Crow's experienced eye
+  Discovered soon their enemy;
+  Whose purpose was not left in doubt,
+  For, uttering a murderous shout,
+  The shooters levelled each his gun--
+  Bang! Bang! the slaughter is begun.
+
+
+  [Illustration: THE FARMER'S GUN THE WORK HATH DONE.]
+
+  Bang! Bang! again for every ball
+  Wounded or dead the young Crows fall;
+  The old Crows wheeling in the skies
+  Helpless behold their agonies,
+  And, piteous cawing up on high,
+  Answer their young ones dying cry--
+  Who fall, poor little suffering things,
+  With broken legs and wounded wings.
+
+
+  [Illustration: AT DAY'S DECLINE THE MOON DOTH SHINE.]
+
+  At last the sun begins to sink,
+  And soon is on the very brink
+  Of setting in the quiet sea;
+  The ploughing horses leave the lea,
+  The weary workman homeward goes
+  Thinking of supper and repose;
+  And darkness closes o'er the scene,
+  Where late the murderous sport had been:
+  The moon, with pale and pitying looks,
+  Shines on the slaughter-field of rooks:
+  The owlets hoot, from ivy bower,
+  In the grey embattled tower--
+  "Tuwit, tuwit, towhoo!" they say,
+  And echoing through the ruins grey,
+  The sound disturbs the daily sleep
+  Of bats who dwell in dungeon keep,
+  Who 'mong the ruins nightly flit,
+  And under aged arches sit.
+
+
+  [Illustration: HOME RETURNING AT THE GLOAMING.]
+
+  The farmers can no longer mark
+  The Crows among the branches dark:
+  Now let us homeward go, they say;
+  And gathering up their slaughtered prey,
+  His share each one in bundles ties,
+  And takes them home to make crow pies.
+
+
+  [Illustration: THE CROWS FLY AWAY BUT RETURN THE NEXT DAY.]
+
+  Of Crows who were not shot, the few
+  Far to the distant mountains flew,
+  But found not there the expected rest:
+  A longing seized them for their nest,
+  "CAW! CAW!" with one accord they cry,
+  "Let us directly homeward fly."
+
+  So in undeviating track,
+  Like column huge of dotted black,
+  Straightway their course they homeward bent,
+  And meditating as they went--
+  "CAW! CAW!" they say, "How well we know
+  There is no joy unmixed with woe."
+

+
+  THE
+  ENGLISH STRUWWELPETER
+  OR
+  PRETTY STORIES
+  AND
+  FUNNY PICTURES.
+
+
+  When the children have been good,
+  That is, be it understood,
+  Good at meal-times, good at play,
+  Good all night, and good all day,--
+  They shall have the pretty things
+  Merry Christmas always brings.
+  Naughty, romping girls and boys
+  Tear their clothes and make a noise,
+  Spoil their pinafores and frocks,
+  And deserve no Christmas-box.
+  Such as these shall never look
+  At this pretty Picture-Book.
+
+
+  1. SHOCK-HEADED PETER.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  Just look at him! There he stands,
+  With his nasty hair and hands.
+  See! his nails are never cut;
+  They are grim'd as black as soot;
+  And the sloven, I declare,
+  Never once has comb'd his hair;
+  Any thing to me is sweeter
+  Than to see Shock-headed Peter.
+
+
+  2. THE STORY OF CRUEL FREDERICK.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  Here is cruel Frederick, see!
+  A horrid wicked boy was he;
+  He caught the flies, poor little things,
+  And then tore off their tiny wings;
+  He kill'd the birds, and broke the chairs,
+  And threw the kitten down the stairs;
+  And Oh! far worse than all beside,
+  He whipp'd his Mary, till she cried.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  The trough was full, and faithful Tray
+  Came out to drink one sultry day;
+  He wagg'd his tail, and wet his lip,
+  When cruel Fred snatch'd up a whip,
+  And whipp'd poor Tray till he was sore,
+  And kick'd and whipp'd him more and more;
+  At this, good Tray grew very red,
+  And growl'd and bit him till he bled;
+  Then you should only have been by,
+  To see how Fred did stream and cry!
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  So Frederick had to go to bed;
+  His leg was very sore and red!
+  The Doctor came and shook his head,
+  And made a very great to-do,
+  And gave him nasty physic too.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  But good dog Tray is happy now;
+  He has no time to say "bow-wow!"
+  He seats himself in Frederick's chair,
+  And laughs to see the nice things there:
+  The soup he swallows, sup by sup,--
+  And eats the pies and puddings up.
+
+
+  3. THE DREADFUL STORY ABOUT HARRIET AND THE MATCHES.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  It almost makes me cry to tell
+  What foolish Harriet befell.
+  Mamma and Nurse went out one day,
+  And left her all alone at play;
+  Now, on the table close at hand,
+  A box of matches chanc'd to stand;
+  And kind Mamma and Nurse had told her,
+  That if she touch'd them, they should scold her.
+  But Harriet said, "Oh, what a pity!
+  For, when they burn, it is so pretty;
+  They crackle so, and spit, and flame;
+  Mamma, too, often does the same."
+
+  The pussy-cats heard this,
+  And they began to hiss,
+  And stretch their claws,
+  And raise their paws;
+  "Me-ow," they said, "me-ow, me-o
+  You'll burn to death, if you do so".
+
+  But Harriet would not take advice,
+  She lit a match, it was so nice!
+  It crackled so, it burn'd so clear,--
+  Exactly like the picture here.
+  She jump'd for joy and ran about,
+  And was too pleas'd to put it out.
+
+  The pussy-cats saw this,
+  And said, "Oh, naughty, naughty Miss!"
+  And stretch'd their claws,
+  And rais'd their paws;
+  "'Tis very, very wrong, you know,
+  Me-ow, Me-o, Me-ow, Me-o,
+  You will be burnt, if you do so".
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  And see! Oh! what a dreadful thing!
+  The fire has caught her apron-string;
+  Her apron burns, her arms, her hair;
+  She burns all over, every where.
+
+  Then how the pussy-cats did mew,
+  What else, poor pussies, could they do?
+  They scream'd for help, 'twas all in vain!
+  So then, they said,--"we'll scream again;
+  Make haste, make haste, me-ow, me-o
+  She'll burn to death,--we told her so".
+
+  So she was burnt, with all her clothes,
+  And arms, and hands, and eyes and nose;
+  Till she had nothing more to lose
+  Except her little scarlet shoes;
+  And nothing else but these was found
+  Among her ashes on the ground.
+
+  And when the good cats sat beside
+  The smoking ashes, how they cried!
+  "Me-ow, me-oo, me-ow, me-oo
+  What will Mamma and Nursy do?"
+  Their tears ran down their cheeks so fast,
+  They made a little pond at last.
+
+
+  4. THE STORY OF THE INKY BOYS.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  As he had often done before,
+  The woolly-headed black-a-moor
+  One nice fine summer's day went out
+  To see the shops and walk about;
+  And as he found it hot, poor fellow,
+  He took with him his green umbrella.
+  Then Edward, little noisy wag,
+  Ran out and laugh'd, and wav'd his flag;
+  And William came in jacket trim,
+  And brought his wooden hoop with him;
+  And Arthur, too, snatch'd up his toys
+  And join'd the other naughty boys;
+  So, one and all set up a roar
+  And laugh'd and hooted more and more,
+  And kept on singing,--only think!--
+  "Oh! Blacky, you're as black as ink."
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  Now tall Agrippa lived close by,--
+  So tall, he almost touch'd the sky;
+  He had a mighty inkstand too,
+  In which a great goose-feather grew;
+  He call'd out in an angry tone,
+  "Boys, leave the black-a-moor alone!
+  For if he tries with all his might,
+  He cannot change from black to white."
+  But ah! they did not mind a bit
+  What great Agrippa said of it;
+  But went on laughing, as before,
+  And hooting at the black-a-moor.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  Then great Agrippa foams with rage,
+  Look at him on this very page!
+  He seizes Arthur, seizes Ned,
+  Takes William by his little head;
+  And they may scream and kick, and call,
+  Into the ink he dips them all;
+  Into the inkstand, one, two, three,
+  Till they are black, as black can be;
+  Turn over now and you shall see.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  See, there they are, and there they run!
+  The black-a-moor enjoys the fun.
+  They have been made as black as crows,
+  Quite black all over, eyes and nose,
+  And legs, and arms, and heads, and toes,
+  And trowsers, pinafores, and toys,--
+  The silly little inky boys!
+  Because they set up such a roar,
+  And teas'd the harmless black-a-moor.
+
+
+  5. THE STORY OF THE MAN THAT WENT OUT SHOOTING.
+
+  This is the man that shoots the hares;
+  This is the coat he always wears:
+  With game-bag, powder-horn and gun,
+  He's going out to have some fun.
+
+  He finds it hard, without a pair
+  Of spectacles, to shoot the hare:
+  The hare sits snug in leaves and grass,
+  And laughs to see the green man pass.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  Now, as the sun grew very hot,
+  And he a heavy gun had got,
+  He lay down underneath a tree
+  And went to sleep, as you may see.
+  And, while he slept like any top,
+  The little hare came, hop, hop, hop,--
+  Took gun and spectacles, and then
+  On her hind legs went off again.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  The green man wakes, and sees her place
+  The spectacles upon her face;
+  And now she's trying, all she can,
+  To shoot the sleepy green-coat man.
+  He cries and screams and runs away;
+  The hare runs after him all day,
+  And hears him call out every where,
+  "Help! Fire! Help! The Hare! The Hare!"
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  At last he stumbled at the well
+  Head over ears, and in he fell.
+  The hare stopp'd short, took aim, and hark!
+  Bang went the gun,--she miss'd her mark!
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  The poor man's wife was drinking up
+  Her coffee in her coffee-cup;
+  The gun shot cup and saucer through
+  "O dear!" cried she, "what shall I do?"
+  There liv'd close by the cottage there
+  The hare's own child, the little hare;
+  And while she stood upon her toes,
+  The coffee fell and burn'd her nose,
+  "O dear!" she cried, with spoon in hand,
+  "Such fun I do not understand."
+
+
+  6. THE STORY OF LITTLE SUCK-A-THUMB.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  One day, Mamma said "Conrad dear,
+  I must go out and leave you here.
+  But mind now, Conrad, what I say,
+  Don't suck your thumb while I'm away.
+  The great tall tailor always comes
+  To little boys that suck their thumbs;
+  And ere they dream what he's about,
+  He takes his great sharp scissars out
+  And cuts their thumbs clean off,--and then,
+  You know, they never grow again."
+
+  Mamma had scarcely turn'd her back,
+  The thumb was in, Alack! Alack!
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  The door flew open, in he ran,
+  The great, long, red-legg'd scissar-man.
+  Oh! children, see! the tailor's come
+  And caught out little Suck-a-Thumb.
+  Snip! Snap! Snip! the scissars go;
+  And Conrad cries out--Oh! Oh! Oh!
+  Snip! Snap! Snip! They go so fast;
+  That both his thumbs are off at last.
+
+  Mamma comes home; there Conrad stands,
+  And looks quite sad, and shows his hands;--
+  "Ah!" said Mamma, "I knew he'd come
+  To naughty little Suck-a-Thumb."
+
+
+  7. THE STORY OF AUGUSTUS WHO WOULD NOT HAVE ANY SOUP.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  Augustus was a chubby lad;
+  Fat ruddy cheeks Augustus had;
+  And every body saw with joy
+  The plump and hearty healthy boy.
+  He ate and drank as he was told,
+  And never let his soup get cold.
+  But one day, one cold winter's day!
+  He scream'd out--"Take the soup away!
+  O take the nasty soup away!
+  I won't have any soup to-day."
+
+  Next day, now look, the picture shows
+  How lank and lean Augustus grows!
+  Yet, though he feels so weak and ill,
+  The naughty fellow cries out still--
+  "Not any soup for me, I say:
+  O take the nasty soup away!
+  I won't have any soup to-day."
+
+  The third day comes; Oh what a sin!
+  To make himself so pale and thin.
+  Yet, when the soup is put on table,
+  He screams, as loud as he is able,--
+  "Not any soup for me, I say:
+  O take the nasty soup away!
+  I won't have any soup to-day!"
+
+  Look at him, now the fourth day's come
+  He scarcely weighs a sugar-plum;
+  He's like a little bit of thread;
+  And on the fifth day, he was--dead!
+
+
+  8. THE STORY OF FIDGETY PHILIP.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  Let me see if Philip can
+  Be a little gentleman;
+  Let me see, if he is able
+  To sit still for once at table:
+  Thus Papa bade Phil behave;
+  And Mamma look'd very grave.
+  But fidgety Phil,
+  He won't sit still;
+  He wriggles
+  And giggles,
+  And then, I declare,
+  Swings backwards and forwards
+  And tilts up his chair,
+  Just like any rocking horse;--
+  "Philip! I am getting cross!"
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  See the naughty restless child
+  Growing still more rude and wild,
+  Till his chair falls over quite.
+  Philip screams with all his might
+  Catches at the cloth, but then
+  That makes matters worse again.
+  Down upon the ground they fall,
+  Glasses, plates, knives, forks and all.
+  How Mamma did fret and frown,
+  When she saw them tumbling down!
+  And Papa made such a face!
+  Philip is in sad disgrace.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  Where is Philip, where is he?
+  Fairly cover'd up you see!
+  Cloth and all are lying on him;
+  He has pull'd down all upon him.
+  What a terrible to-do!
+  Dishes, glasses, snapt in two!
+  Here a knife, and there a fork!
+  Philip, this is cruel work.
+  Table all so bare, and ah!
+  Poor Papa, and poor Mamma
+  Look quite cross, and wonder how
+  They shall make their dinner now.
+
+
+  9. THE STORY OF JOHNNY HEAD-IN-AIR.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  As he trudg'd along to school,
+  It was always Johnny's rule
+  To be looking at the sky
+  And the clouds that floated by;
+  But what just before him lay,
+  In his way,
+  Johnny never thought about;
+  So that every one cried out--
+  "Look at little Johnny there,
+  Little Johnny Head-In-Air!"
+
+  Running just in Johnny's way,
+  Came a little dog one day;
+  Johnny's eyes were still astray
+  Up on high,
+  In the sky;
+  And he never heard them cry--
+  "Johnny, mind, the dog is nigh!"
+  Bump!
+  Dump!
+  Down they fell, with such a thump.
+  Dog and Johnny in a lump!
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  Once, with head as high as ever,
+  Johnny walk'd beside the river.
+  Johnny watch'd the swallows trying
+  Which was cleverest at flying.
+  Oh! what fun!
+  Johnny watch'd the bright round sun
+  Going in and coming out;
+  This was all he thought about.
+  So he strode on, only think!
+  To the river's very brink,
+  Where the bank was high and steep,
+  And the water very deep;
+  And the fishes, in a row,
+  Stared to see him coming so.
+
+  One step more! Oh! sad to tell!
+  Headlong in poor Johnny fell.
+  And the fishes, in dismay,
+  Wagg'd their tails and ran away.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  There lay Johnny on his face,
+  With his nice red writing-case;
+  But, as they were passing by,
+  Two strong men had heard him cry;
+  And, with sticks, these two strong men
+  Hook'd poor Johnny out again.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  Oh! you should have seen him shiver
+  When they pull'd him from the river.
+  He was in a sorry plight,
+  Dripping wet, and such a fright!
+  Wet all over, every where,
+  Clothes, and arms, and face, and hair:
+  Johnny never will forget
+  What it is to be so wet.
+
+  And the fishes, one, two, three,
+  Are come back again, you see;
+  Up they came the moment after,
+  To enjoy the fun and laughter.
+  Each popp'd out his little head.
+  And, to tease poor Johnny, said
+  "Silly little Johnny, look,
+  You have lost your writing-book!"
+
+
+  10. THE STORY OF FLYING ROBERT.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  When the rain comes tumbling down
+  In the country or the town,
+  All good little girls and boys
+  Stay at home and mind their toys.
+  Robert thought,--"No, when it pours,
+  It is better out of doors."
+  Rain it _did_, and in a minute
+  Bob was in it.
+  Here you see him, silly fellow,
+  Underneath his red umbrella.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  What a wind! Oh! how it whistles
+  Through the trees and flow'rs and thistles!
+  It has caught his red umbrella;
+  Now look at him, silly fellow,
+  Up he flies
+  To the skies.
+  No one heard his screams and cries;
+  Through the clouds the rude wind bore him,
+  And his hat flew on before him.
+
+  [Illustration]
+
+  Soon they got to such a height,
+  They were nearly out of sight!
+  And the hat went up so high,
+  That it really touch'd the sky.
+  No one ever yet could tell
+  Where they stopp'd, or where they fell:
+  Only, this one thing is plain,
+  Bob was never seen again!

+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work

+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
