MONSELL + +LONDON GRANT RICHARDS 1904 + + + + +The Motor Car Dumpy Book. + + +This is the old gentleman who used to walk in front of steam-driven +carriages on the King's highway. He carried in his hand a red flag which +he waved. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +This is the traction-engine which always came behind the old gentleman, +and made such a dreadful noise. If the roads were good it could travel +four miles in one hour. + +This is the old gentleman getting out of the way of a motor car. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +This is a Motor Car. It can travel forty miles an hour. There is a +number on the back of it. If the car runs over you make a note of the +number and complain to the County Council. That is what the number is +for. + +This is a Chaf-feur or motor car driver. He wears spectacles to keep the +dust out of his eyes, and a tarpaulin coat to keep the oil off his nice +clean suit. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +This is the horn for letting people know that the motor car is coming. +When you squeeze the india rubber ball at the end of the tube twice, the +horn says "Pip, Pip." + +These are the kind of clothes you wear when you go moting if you are a +man. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +These are the kind of clothes you wear when you go moting if you are a +woman. + +This is the policeman you will see all along the road. He has a watch in +his hand, so that if you want to know the time you can ask him. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +This is the policeman you will not see all along the road. He is hiding +behind a milestone to find out whether you are driving too fast. + +This is the magistrate who fines you £20 if you have been driving too +fast. It is best not to drive too fast. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +This is a motor car that is being driven too fast. + +This is a motor car that won't go. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +This is a motor car that won't stop. + +This is a motor car race. The fastest car will win. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +This is a motor car accident. + +This is another motor car accident. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +This is a motor omnibus for carrying a number of persons. If you see one +in the street you can stop it and have a ride for twopence. + +This is a motor van. It is used by the shopman to deliver parcels to his +customers, and as it has his name and address on the sides and back it +is a good advertisement for him. Every shopman should have a motor van. +They look so smart. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +This is a toy motor car which runs round and round when you wind it up. + +This is a toy motor car made of lead looping the loop. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +This is a toy motor car in which you can sit and have a ride if you work +the pedals with your feet. It has a steering wheel just like a real +car. + +This is a motor bicycle, which saves you the trouble of working the +pedals. It can go quite fast, but if it breaks down it is very heavy to +pedal home. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +This is a motor air-ship.

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.

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.

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.

Of course, we hope that you will support the Project +Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by +freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of +this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with +the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by +keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project +Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others. + +1.D.

Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable +effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread +public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm +collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain +"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or +corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual +property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a +computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by +your equipment. + +1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right +of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project +Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all +liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal +fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT +LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE +PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE +TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE +LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR +INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH +DAMAGE. + +1.F.3. 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. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth +in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER +WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO +WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. + +1.F.5. 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.

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> diff --git a/24609-h/images/bcover.jpg b/24609-h/images/bcover.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644

MONSELL + +LONDON GRANT RICHARDS 1904 + + + + +The Motor Car Dumpy Book. + + +This is the old gentleman who used to walk in front of steam-driven +carriages on the King's highway. He carried in his hand a red flag which +he waved. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +This is the traction-engine which always came behind the old gentleman, +and made such a dreadful noise. If the roads were good it could travel +four miles in one hour. + +This is the old gentleman getting out of the way of a motor car. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +This is a Motor Car. It can travel forty miles an hour. There is a +number on the back of it. If the car runs over you make a note of the +number and complain to the County Council. That is what the number is +for. + +This is a Chaf-feur or motor car driver. He wears spectacles to keep the +dust out of his eyes, and a tarpaulin coat to keep the oil off his nice +clean suit. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +This is the horn for letting people know that the motor car is coming. +When you squeeze the india rubber ball at the end of the tube twice, the +horn says "Pip, Pip." + +These are the kind of clothes you wear when you go moting if you are a +man. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +These are the kind of clothes you wear when you go moting if you are a +woman. + +This is the policeman you will see all along the road. He has a watch in +his hand, so that if you want to know the time you can ask him. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +This is the policeman you will not see all along the road. He is hiding +behind a milestone to find out whether you are driving too fast. + +This is the magistrate who fines you L20 if you have been driving too +fast. It is best not to drive too fast. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +This is a motor car that is being driven too fast. + +This is a motor car that won't go. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +This is a motor car that won't stop. + +This is a motor car race. The fastest car will win. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +This is a motor car accident. + +This is another motor car accident. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +This is a motor omnibus for carrying a number of persons. If you see one +in the street you can stop it and have a ride for twopence. + +This is a motor van. It is used by the shopman to deliver parcels to his +customers, and as it has his name and address on the sides and back it +is a good advertisement for him. Every shopman should have a motor van. +They look so smart. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +This is a toy motor car which runs round and round when you wind it up. + +This is a toy motor car made of lead looping the loop. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +This is a toy motor car in which you can sit and have a ride if you work +the pedals with your feet. It has a steering wheel just like a real +car. + +This is a motor bicycle, which saves you the trouble of working the +pedals. It can go quite fast, but if it breaks down it is very heavy to +pedal home. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +This is a motor air-ship.

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.

Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements.

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.

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. diff --git a/24609.zip b/24609.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..6063215 --- /dev/null +++ b/24609.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
