The pamphlets are distinguished by the fact that the +author’s level of imagination and writing makes them delightful reading +even today. In <i>Dumpling</i> the author displays a considerable +knowledge of cooks and cookery in London; by insinuating that to love +dumpling is to love corruption, he effectively and amusingly achieves +satiric indirection against a number of political and social targets, +including Walpole. The <i>Key</i> is in many ways a separate pamphlet in +which Swift is the central figure under attack after his two secret +visits to Walpole during 1726. <i>Dumpling</i> had a long life for an +eighteenth-century pamphlet and was published as late as 1770. Dr. +F. T. Wood has even suggested that it may have influenced Lamb’s +<i>Dissertation on Roast Pig</i>;<a class = "tag" name = "tag1" id = +"tag1" href = "#note1">1</a> readers might wish to test this for +themselves.</p> + +<p><i>Dumpling</i> and its <i>Key</i> were first claimed for Henry Carey +by Dr. Wood (<ins class = "correction" title = "no space">pp. +442-447</ins>). Carey (1687-1743) is generally thought to have been an +illegitimate scion of the powerful Savile family,<a class = "tag" name = +"tag2" id = "tag2" href = "#note2">2</a> with whose name he christened +three of his sons. He was perhaps best known as a writer of songs. +“Sally in our Alley” is a classic, and he has even a tenuous claim to +the authorship of the English national anthem. Carey’s <i>Dramatic +Works</i> appeared in 1743, the year in which he met his death, almost +certainly by his own hand. Several of the plays were successful and +particular reference should be made to the burlesques +<i>Chrononhotonthologos</i> (1734) and <i>The Dragon of Wantley</i> +(1737). The latter even outran the performances of <i>The Beggar’s +Opera</i> in its first year. Not only do these plays show Carey’s +satiric bent, but so also do a considerable number of his poems. In +1713, 1720, and 1729 Carey published three different collections of his +poetry, each entitled <i>Poems on Several Occasions</i>. Although a few +of the poems were repeated, almost always revised, each edition is very +much a different collection. An edition was brought out in this century +by Dr. Wood.<a class = "tag" name = "tag3" id = "tag3" href = +"#note3">3</a></p> + +<span class = "pagenum">ii</span> +<!-- png 04 --> +<p>I am strongly inclined to support Carey’s claim to the authorship of +<i>Dumpling</i> and its <i>Key</i> despite Dr. E. L. Oldfield’s +more recent attempt to invalidate it.<a class = "tag" name = "tag4" id = +"tag4" href = "#note4">4</a> There were at least ten editions of +<i>Dumpling</i> in the eighteenth century. The first seven (1726-27) +appeared during Carey’s life, and these (I have seen all but the +third) contain the <i>Namby Pamby</i> verses which later appeared under +Carey’s own name in his enlarged <i>Poems on Several Occasions</i> +(1729). There was also a “sixth edition” of <i>Dumpling</i> (really the +eighth extant edition) in Carey’s own name published “for T. Read, +in Dogwell-Court, White-Friars, Fleet-Street, MDCCXLIV.” Though <i>Namby +Pamby</i> was not added to the first edition of the <i>Key</i>, it +appears in the second edition. Both editions were published by Mrs. +Dodd, of whom Dr. Oldfield says: she “seems to have been a neighbour, +and known to Carey” (p. 375). Dr. Wood indicates that “at the foot +of a folio sheet containing Carey’s song <i>Mocking is Catching</i>, +published in 1726, the sixth edition of <i>A Learned Dissertation +on Dumpling</i> is advertised as having been lately published” +(p. 442). Dr. Wood adds in a footnote that this song “appeared in +<i>The Musical Century</i> (1740) under the title <i>A Sorrowful +Lamentation for the Loss of a Man and No Man</i>.” Even more striking +would seem to be the fact that although there are ninety-one entries in +his <i>Poems</i> (1729), Carey has placed the <i>Sorrowful +Lamentation</i> directly adjacent to <i>Namby Pamby</i>.</p> + +<p>Dr. Wood maintains of <i>Dumpling</i> that “the general style bears a +close resemblance to that of the prefaces to Carey’s plays and +collections of poetry” (p. 443). I should like strongly to +support his statement. Dr. Oldfield says that an inviolable regard for +decency “is nowhere contradicted in Carey’s +works . . . . Yet the pamphlets, besides being +palpably Whiggish, are larded <i>passim</i> with vulgarity of the +‘Close-Stool’ and ‘Clyster’ variety” (p. 376). The reader need look +no further than <i>Namby Pamby</i> to see that Carey satisfies Northrop +Frye’s very proper observation: “Genius seems to have led practically +every great satirist to become what the world calls obscene.”</p> + +<p>As for the pamphlets being “palpably Whiggish,” the reader will not +look far into the allegory before he realizes that one of the central +attacks is against those well-known Whigs Walpole and Marlborough and +their appetite for Dumpling (i.e., +<span class = "pagenum">iii</span> +<!-- png 05 --> +bribery and perquisites). Furthermore, the attack on Swift, which is +central to the <i>Key</i>, is based on the very real fear that the +Dean’s two recent private interviews with Walpole might presage a return +to that leader’s Whig party in exchange for Dumpling. The last pages of +the <i>Key</i> (pp. 28-30) deal with the possibility of an +accommodation between Swift and Walpole which is, I feel sure, the +main target of attack. In his poems (<i>Poems</i>, ed. Wood, +pp. 83, 86, 88, and <i>passim</i>) Carey claims to stand between +Whig and Tory, just as he does in the pamphlets (<i>Dumpling</i>, +p. 1, and <i>Key</i>, p. 15 and <i>passim</i>).</p> + +<p>Dr. Wood perceptively points to two parallels between <i>Dumpling</i> +and the satiric <i>Of Stage Tyrants</i> (1735) which Carey openly +addressed to the Earl of Chesterfield. <i>Dumpling’s</i> “O Braund, +my Patron! my Pleasure! my Pride” (p. [ii]) becomes: +“O Chesterfield, my patron and my pride” (<i>Poems</i>, ed. Wood, +p. 104). The passage which follows, dealing with “all the +Monkey-Tricks of Rival Harlequins” (<i>Dumpling</i>, p. [ii]), +becomes:</p> + +<div class = "verse"> +<p>Prefer pure nature and the simple scene</p> +<p>To all the monkey tricks of Harlequin</p> +<p class = "center"> +(<i>Poems</i>, ed. Wood, p. 106).</p> +</div> + +<p>Even more striking is a passage in the <i>Key</i>: “Mr. B[ooth] had +spoken to Mr. W[ilks] to speak to Mr. C[ibber] . . .” +(p. 111). This is similar to the following lines in <i>Stage +Tyrants</i>:</p> + +<div class = "verse"> +<p>Booth ever shew’d me friendship and respect,</p> +<p>And Wilks would rather forward than reject.</p> +<p>Ev’n Cibber, terror to the scribbling crew,</p> +<p>Would oft solicit me for something new</p> +<p class = "center"> +(<i>Poems</i>, ed. Wood, p. 104).</p> +</div> + +<p>What is particularly impressive is that Carey not only refers to the +three managers of Drury Lane but mentions them in the same order and as +bearing the same relationship to himself. Several highly topical +theatrical allusions in the pamphlets, by which the works can be dated, +accord closely to the life, views, and writings of Carey. All three +managers of Drury Lane were subscribers to Carey’s <i>Poems on Several +Occasions</i> (1729), which +<span class = "pagenum">iv</span> +<!-- png 06 --> +was dedicated to the Countess of Burlington, who (like the Earl of +Chesterfield) was closely related to Carey’s putative family. In the +<i>Poems</i> these people and many others (including Pope) would have +seen <i>Namby Pamby</i> under Carey’s name and drawn the obvious +conclusion that <i>Namby Pamby</i>, <i>Dumpling</i> and the <i>Key</i> +were by the same author.</p> + +<p>We have already seen how closely <i>Dumpling</i> and <i>Stage +Tyrants</i> can be tied together; the reader can compare for himself +that part of <i>Namby Pamby</i> containing “So the Nurses get by +Heart / Namby Pamby’s Little Rhymes,” with the passage from the +<i>Key</i>: “It was here the D[ean] . . . got together all his +Namby Pamby . . . from the old Nurses thereabouts” +(<i>Key</i>, pp. 16-17).</p> + +<p>There exists in the Bodleian an early copy of <i>Namby Pamby</i> +(1725?) “By Capt. Gordon, Author of the Apology for Parson Alberony and +the Humorist.” The joke here is surely in not only letting the Whig +Gordon attack the Whig Ambrose Phillips but then, also by association, +connecting Gordon’s name with the attack on Walpole and Marlborough. +There is a parallel to this: Carey’s “Lilliputian Ode on Their Majesties +Succession” appeared in <i>Poems</i> (1729), separated from the pieces +previously mentioned by only one short patriotic stanza. Yet in the +Huntington Library there is an almost identical version (1727) which was +ostensibly published by Swift.</p> + +<p>The first six editions of <i>Dumpling</i> appeared in 1726 and both +editions of the <i>Key</i> are dated 1727. Apart from the dates on the +title page, this can be verified externally by the initial entries in +Wilford’s <i>Monthly Catalogue</i> (1723-30) of February 1726 and April +1727 respectively. Swift’s first return visit to England (in March 1726 +after twelve years) was subsequent to the publication of +<i>Dumpling</i>; his second visit was in the same month as the +publication of the <i>Key</i>, which assigns him <i>ex post facto</i> +the authorship “from Page 1. to Page 25.” of <i>Dumpling</i> +(<i>Key</i>, p. ix).</p> + +<p>Sir John Pudding and his Dumpling are manipulated throughout these +pamphlets to carry a multiplicity of meaning which brings them almost as +close to symbolism as they are to the allegory that Carey claims to be +writing (<i>Key</i>, pp. 18, 24 and 29). Collation of +<i>Dumpling</i> with its <i>Key</i> clearly reveals (with due allowance +for satiric arabesque) a series of allegories moving backwards and +forwards through history. At various +<span class = "pagenum">v</span> +<!-- png 07 --> +stages, Sir John Pudding (ostensibly Brawn [or John Brand], the famous +cook of the Rummer in Queen Street who appears in Dr. King’s <i>Art of +Cookery</i> [1708]), becomes identifiable with King John, Sir John +Falstaff, Walpole, Marlborough, and even Queen Anne (for the change in +sexes see <i>Key</i>, p. 18). All of these enjoyed Dumpling, and +their tastes are ostensibly approved while at the same time being +heavily undercut with satiric indirection. Naturally enough, Walpole +(although a Dumpling Eater) is treated with considerable circumspection. +Carey has warned us that he is a bad chronologist (<i>Key</i>, +p. 21), and the Sir John Pudding (be he Walpole or Marlborough [d. +1722]), who at the end of <i>Dumpling</i> is referred to as “the Hero of +this DUMPLEID,” is for good reason spoken of in the past tense.</p> + +<p>The fable of Dumpling, in the true spirit of <i>lanx satura</i>, +allows Carey to attack by indirection a complete spectrum of traditional +eighteenth-century targets. Like the musician and the satirist that he +is, he builds up to a magnificent crescendo (pp. 19-24 of his +“Dumpleid”) which results in one of the finest displays of sustained +virtuosity in early eighteenth-century pamphlet writing.</p> + +<p>The notes which follow the texts point to a number of the +contemporary allusions, but the reader will surely wish to recognize +some of the references and the more delicate ironies for himself.

She wisely jumbl’d ’em all together, after having carefully pick’d +out the Shells; the Consequence is easily imagined, the Pudding became a +Pudding of Puddings; and the Use of Eggs from thence took its Date.

It is needless to +enumerate the many sorts of Pudding he made, such as Plain Pudding, +Plumb Pudding, Marrow Pudding, Oatmeal Pudding, Carrot Pudding, +Saucesage Pudding, Bread Pudding, Flower Pudding, Suet Pudding, and in +short, every Pudding but Quaking Pudding, which was solely invented by, +and took its Name from our Good Friends of the <i>Bull and Mouth</i> +before mentioned, notwithstanding the many Pretenders to that +Projection.</p> + +<p>But what rais’d our Hero most in the Esteem of this Pudding-eating +Monarch, was his Second Edition of Pudding, he being the first that ever +invented the Art of Broiling Puddings, which he did to such Perfection, +and so much to the King’s likeing, (who had a mortal Aversion to Cold +Pudding,) that he thereupon instituted him Knight of the Gridiron, and +gave him a Gridiron of Gold, the Ensign of that Order, which he always +wore as a Mark of his Sovereign’s Favour; in short, <i>Jack Pudding</i>, +or Sir <i>John</i>, grew to be all in all with good King <i>John</i>; he +did nothing without him, they were Finger and Glove; and, if we may +believe Tradition, our very good Friend had no small Hand in the +<i>Magna Charta</i>.

But alas! how soon is +Merit forgot? how impudently do the Vulgar turn the most serious Things +into Ridicule, and mock the most solemn Trophies of Honour? for now +every Fool at a Fair, or Zany at a Mountebank’s Stage, is call’d <i>Jack +Pudding</i>, has a Gridiron at his Back, and a great Pair of Spectacles +at his Buttocks, to ridicule the most noble Order of the Gridiron. But +their Spectacles is a most ungrateful Reflection on the Memory of that +great Man, whose indefatigable Application to his Business, and deep +Study in that occult Science, rendred him Poreblind; to remedy which +Misfortune, he had always a ’Squire follow’d him, bearing a huge Pair of +Spectacles to saddle his Honour’s Nose, and supply his much-lamented +Defect of Sight. But whether such an Unhappiness did not deserve rather +Pity than Ridicule, I leave to the Determination of all good +Christians: I cannot but say, it raises my Indignation, when I see +these Paunch-gutted Fellows usurping the Title and Atchievements of my +dear Sir <i>John</i>, whose Memory I so much venerate, I cannot +always contain my self.

King <i>John</i> himself lov’d +him entirely; being of <i>Cesar</i>’s Mind, that is, he had a natural +Antipathy against Meagre, Herring-gutted Wretches; he lov’d only +<i>Fat-headed Men, and such who slept o’ Nights</i>; and of such was his +whole Court compos’d. Now it was Sir <i>John</i>’s Method, every +<i>Sunday</i> Morning, to give the Courtiers a Breakfast, which +Breakfast was every Man his Dumpling and Cup of Wine; for you must know, +he +<span class = "pagenum">(10)</span> +<a name = "dumpling_page10" id = "dumpling_page10"> </a> +<!-- png 24 --> +was Yeoman of the Wine-Cellar at the same time.</p> + +<p>This was a great Eye-sore and Heart-burning to some Lubberly Abbots +who loung’d about the Court; they took it in great Dudgeon they were not +Invited, and stuck so close to his Skirts, that they never rested ’till +they Outed him. They told the King, who was naturally very Hasty, that +Sir <i>John</i> made-away with his Wine, and feasted his Paramours at +his Expence; and not only so, but that they were forming a Design +against his Life, which they in Conscience ought to discover: That Sir +<i>John</i> was not only an Heretic, but an Heathen; nay worse, they +fear’d he was a Witch, and that he had bewitcht His Majesty into that +unaccountable Fondness for a <i>Pudding-Maker</i>. They assur’d the +King, That on a <i>Sunday</i> Morning, instead of being at Mattins, he +and his Trigrimates got together Hum-jum, all snug, and perform’d many +Hellish and Diabolical Ceremonies. In short, they made the King believe +that the Moon was made of Green-Cheese: And to shew how the Innocent may +be Bely’d, and the best Intentions misrepresented, they told the King, +That He and his Associates offer’d Sacrifices to <i>Ceres</i>: When, +alas, it was only the Dumplings they eat. +<span class = "pagenum">(11)</span> +<span class = "folionum">C2</span> +<a name = "dumpling_page11" id = "dumpling_page11"> </a> +<!-- png 25 --> +The Butter which was melted and pour’d over them, these vile Miscreants +call’d <i>Libations</i>: And the friendly Compotations of our +Dumpling-eaters, were call’d <i>Bacchanalian Rites</i>.

And finding all Means ineffectual, he left the Court in a +great Pet; yet not without passing a severe Joke upon ’em, in his way, +which was this; He sent a Pudding to the King’s Table, under the Name of +a <i>Court-Pudding</i>, or <i>Promise-Pudding</i>.

So that to him we owe all that is elegant in Eating: For +Pudding was not his only Talent, he was a great Virtuoso in all manner +of Eatables; and tho’ he might come short of <i>Lambert</i> for +Confectionary-Niceties, yet was he not inferiour to <i>Brawnd</i>, +<i>Lebec</i>, <i>Pede</i>, or any other great Masters of Cookery; he +could toss up a Fricassée as well as a Pancake: +<span class = "pagenum">(17)</span> +<span class = "folionum">D</span> +<a name = "dumpling_page17" id = "dumpling_page17"> </a> +<!-- png 31 --> +And most of the Kickshaws now in vogue, are but his Inventions, with +other Names; for what we call <i>Fricassées</i>, he call’d +<i>Pancakes</i>; as, a Pancake of Chickens, a Pancake of +Rabbets, <i>&c.</i> Nay, the <i>French</i> call a Pudding an +<i>English</i> Fricassée, to this Day.</p> + +<p>We value our selves mightily for Roasting a Hare with a Pudding in +its Belly; when alas he has roasted an Ox with a Pudding in his Belly. +There was no Man like him for Invention and Contrivance: And then for +Execution, he spar’d no Labour and Pains to compass his magnanimous +Designs.</p> + +<p>O wou’d to Heav’n this little Attempt of Mine may stir up some +<i>Pudding-headed Antiquary</i> to dig his Way through all the mouldy +Records of Antiquity, and bring to Light the Noble Actions of Sir +<i>John</i>!

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.

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 are 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.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +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. 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. Email contact links and up to date contact +information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official +page at http://www.gutenberg.org/about/contact + +For additional contact information: + Dr. Gregory B. 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 http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf + +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://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/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. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + +<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org">http://www.gutenberg.org</a> + +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. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. + +<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/">http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/</a> + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part +of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is +identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single +digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For +example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at: + +http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/0/2/3/10234 + +or filename 24689 would be found at: +http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/2/4/6/8/24689 + +An alternative method of locating eBooks: +<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/GUTINDEX.ALL">http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/GUTINDEX.ALL</a> + +*** END: FULL LICENSE *** +</pre> +</body> +</html> |
