+
+
+Enclosed in this envelope is the cord and the needle with which to bind
+this book. Start in from the outside as shown on the diagram here. Pass
+the needle and thread through the center of the book, leaving an end
+extend outside, then through to the outside, about 2 inches from the
+center; then from the outside to inside 2 inches from the center at the
+other end of the book, bringing the thread finally again through the
+center, and tie the two ends in a knot, one each side of the cord on the
+outside.

+
+
+
+                          HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
+
+
+This book is one of a series known as the CHILD'S OWN BOOK OF GREAT
+MUSICIANS, written by Thomas Tapper, author of "Pictures from the Lives
+of the Great Composers for Children," "Music Talks with Children,"
+"First Studies in Music Biography," and others.
+
+The sheet of illustrations included herewith is to be cut apart by the
+child, and each illustration is to be inserted in its proper place
+throughout the book, pasted in the space containing the same number as
+will be found under each picture on the sheet. It is not necessary to
+cover the entire back of a picture with paste. Put it only on the
+corners and place neatly within the lines you will find printed around
+each space. Use photographic paste, if possible.
+
+After this play-work is completed there will be found at the back of the
+book blank pages upon which the child is to write his own story of the
+great musician, based upon the facts and questions found on the previous
+pages.
+
+The book is then to be sewed by the child through the center with the
+cord found in the enclosed envelope. The book thus becomes the child's
+own book.
+
+This series will be found not only to furnish a pleasing and interesting
+task for the children, but will teach them the main facts with regard to
+the life of each of the great musicians--an educational feature worth
+while.

+            The Story of the Boy who Made Beautiful Melodies
+
+As long as we live and keep in touch with the works of the great
+composers we shall love more and more the music of Frederic François
+Chopin.
+
+It will be pleasant to learn from time to time something about him. We
+should like, for example, to know:
+
+In what country he was born.
+
+In what places he lived.
+
+What kinds of music he composed.
+
+Perhaps we may begin by learning that he was born in a little village in
+Poland not far from the City of Warsaw, beside which flows the famous
+river Vistula. Here is a picture of the house in which Chopin was born.
+
+                 [Illustration 2: CHOPIN'S BIRTHPLACE]
+
+Chopin's father, a Frenchman by birth, was a schoolmaster. (So was the
+father of Franz Schubert, you remember.) The boy's mother was a native
+of Poland. From the time when he was a little boy, the future great
+composer loved his mother's country and the people just as much as he
+loved the dear mother herself.
+
+The father knew that his little son was musical, so he took the greatest
+care to have him taught by the best teachers. He watched over him quite
+as Leopold Mozart watched the progress of Wolferl; and as Mendelssohn's
+mother guided Felix and Fanny in their first music lessons.
+
+Mendelssohn and Chopin were indeed very nearly the same age. Mendelssohn
+was born in February, 1809, and Chopin was born the first of March in
+the same year. Let us keep their names together in our memory for the
+future.
+
+Mendelssohn died two years before the death of Chopin. Both of these
+great composers kept busily at their work until the last year of their
+lives although neither of them was very strong.
+
+                    [Illustration 3: F. MENDELSSOHN]
+
+Here is a picture of little Chopin playing for a group of boyhood
+friends.
+
+        [Illustration 4: LITTLE CHOPIN PLAYING FOR HIS FRIENDS]
+
+Chopin was only nine years old when he first played in public. It is
+said that he created quite a sensation. But like all those who know that
+talent is something to be worked for, he did not stop studying just
+because his playing was pleasing to other people. In fact, it was just
+on that account that he began to work all the harder.
+
+Then there came a great change. He left his home and went to Paris,
+where he lived for the rest of his life. Even though he was but a youth
+of twenty-one, he had already composed two concertos for the piano.
+These he had played in public to the great delight of all who heard him,
+but especially of his countrymen.
+
+You see, Chopin's going to Paris was a strange journey. The boy was
+leaving his mother's country and going to the land of his father. Like
+Joseph Haydn, who went away at the age of six, Chopin never lived at
+home again.
+
+But he did not reach Paris a stranger. The world of music had heard of
+him and some of its great ones welcomed his coming.
+
+Let us always think of these men who knew each other well as a family.
+
+                        [Illustration 5: LISZT]
+
+                       [Illustration 6: BERLIOZ]
+
+                      [Illustration 7: MEYERBEER]
+
+                        [Illustration 8: HEINE]
+
+                        [Illustration 9: CHOPIN]
+
+Liszt was a great pianist.
+
+Berlioz was a famous composer for the orchestra.
+
+Meyerbeer was best known as an operatic composer.
+
+Heine was a great poet whose verses were set to music by many song
+composers.
+
+Berlioz was the only one of the group who was born in France.
+
+During his boyhood Chopin played much in public, journeying to some of
+the great cities of Europe, among them Vienna, Berlin, and Munich.
+
+Therefore, when he played in Paris it was as an artist. Here, as at
+home, he charmed everyone by the beauty of his music and the loveliness
+of his touch.
+
+He possessed the true piano hand. It was somewhat narrow. The fingers
+were long and tapering. It seemed at once strong and vigorous, yet
+delicate and sensitive.
+
+                    [Illustration 10: CHOPIN'S HAND]
+
+Indeed, Chopin's music is of just these qualities. It is strong in its
+nobility, delicate in its sentiment.
+
+One would think that to arrive in Paris and to be welcomed by the great
+ones would make everything easy.
+
+But it was not so for Chopin. Only a few people were present at his
+first concert and for quite a while he had no pupils.
+
+Indeed, it was all so discouraging that he made up his mind to return to
+his beloved Poland.
+
+His friend, Franz Liszt, begged him not to go. Others, too, urged him to
+stay in Paris. One friend, who met him in the street as he was about to
+leave, advised him as did the others to stay in Paris.
+
+But no, he was going home.
+
+"But," said this friend, "first come with me to visit a true lover of
+music."
+
+So Chopin went with him to the house of Baron Rothschild. Here he
+played, so charming the company with his music that ever so many of them
+begged him for the privilege of lessons.
+
+And so, all in a moment, his troubles blew away, as troubles often do.
+Here is a picture of Chopin playing in the home of a prince.
+
+            [Illustration 11: CHOPIN PLAYING FOR THE PRINCE]
+
+Do you wonder what kind of a man the little Polish boy became after he
+found success in Paris?
+
+One person said about him:
+
+"Chopin talks little, and rarely about music. But when he does speak of
+music one must listen to him."
+
+Another said:
+
+"He is reserved and quiet, especially among strangers, but among his
+friends he is witty and full of sly humor."
+
+But his thoughts were not for words, they did not weave the pretty
+phrases of idle talk. They were busy making nocturnes, waltzes,
+mazurkas, impromptus and many other kinds of music that we shall learn
+to love as we hear them.
+
+Music was Chopin's true speech. The world soon learned to love what he
+said in it. And it always will love it.
+
+See how beautifully he wrote his music.
+
+                  [Illustration 12: CHOPIN'S AUTOGRAPH]
+
+There was neither telephone nor telegraph in those days. Yet it did not
+take long for another composer, Robert Schumann, who lived far away, in
+Germany, to learn that a genius by the name of Chopin lived in Paris.
+
+The post carried to Schumann a copy of Chopin's first printed music.
+This was a theme taken from Mozart's Opera _Don Juan_, which Chopin
+arranged with variations for the piano.
+
+When Schumann played it to his friends everyone exclaimed: "How
+beautiful it is!"
+
+Then someone said:
+
+"Chopin--I never heard the name. Who can he be?"
+
+                     [Illustration 13: R. SCHUMANN]
+
+So we see that his thoughts printed as music flew like winged messengers
+to carry news of him to others in distant places. And people not merely
+asked: "Who can he be?" but they found out who he was, and kept passing
+the news on and on until finally it has reached us!
+
+Chopin was never a robust person, though he was well and busy most of
+his life. But in the last years he suffered much from illness. This led
+him to travel to many places from Paris for the good of his health.
+
+Chopin was devoted to Poland, the beloved land of his birth. Here is a
+picture of the great composer who has fallen asleep at the keyboard and
+is dreaming of a glorious future for Poland.
+
+              [Illustration 14: CHOPIN DREAMING OF POLAND]
+
+Once he went to England and to Scotland. He played in London and was
+highly praised for the beautiful way he performed his own music.
+
+While it is true that Chopin was ill in the last years of his life, we
+must notice that he kept right on with his work. He played and composed
+just as he always had done. Chopin died in Paris, October 17, 1849, just
+two years after Mendelssohn, who died in 1847.
+
+Many men, who would have given up everything had they not been brave,
+have worked right on through illness.
+
+Milton was blind, but he dictated _Paradise Lost_ to his daughter.
+
+Beethoven was deaf, but he did not give up composing.
+
+Robert Louis Stevenson, who wrote the lovely _Child's Garden of Verses_,
+was ill all his life, but he kept on writing. Grieg was probably never
+well all his life, but he never gave up.
+
+                       [Illustration 15: MILTON]
+
+                      [Illustration 16: BEETHOVEN]

+
+                        [Illustration 18: GRIEG]
+
+Have you ever thought that the beautiful ideas of great men sometimes
+outlive famous cities?
+
+What a lot of cities and countries we must visit in our thoughts, to see
+the great composers at their work. For example--
+
+1. Grieg belongs to Norway.
+
+2. Chopin to Warsaw and Paris.
+
+3. Schubert to Vienna in Austria.
+
+4. Bach to Thuringia in Saxony, Germany.
+
+5. Handel to Germany and England.
+
+6. Haydn to Hungary.
+
+7. Beethoven to Germany and Vienna. (He was born at Bonn on the Rhine.)
+
+8. Schumann to Germany.
+
+9. Mendelssohn to Hamburg and Berlin, Germany.
+
+10. Mozart to Salzburg and Vienna in Austria.
+
+It will be a pleasant thing for us to see if we can arrange these names
+in order, beginning with the oldest, Bach and Handel, and coming down to
+the latest. By doing such things, time and time again, they begin to
+stick in the memory.

+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  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.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax

+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+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.
+
+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 1.F.3.  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.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+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, 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.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
+http://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.

+
+
+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.

+<p>Enclosed in this envelope is the cord and the

+the outside as shown on the diagram here. Pass the
+needle and thread through the center of the book,
+leaving an end extend outside, then through to the
+outside, about 2 inches from the center; then from
+the outside to inside 2 inches from the center at the
+other end of the book, bringing the thread finally
+again through the center, and tie the two ends in a
+knot, one each side of the cord on the outside.</p>

+
+<p class="h2">HOW TO USE THIS BOOK</p>
+
+<hr />
+
+<p class="noindent">THIS book is one of a series known as the CHILD'S OWN
+BOOK OF GREAT MUSICIANS, written by Thomas
+Tapper, author of "Pictures from the Lives of the Great Composers
+for Children," "Music Talks with Children," "First
+Studies in Music Biography," and others.</p>
+
+<p>The sheet of illustrations included herewith is to be cut
+apart by the child, and each illustration is to be inserted in its
+proper place throughout the book, pasted in the space containing
+the same number as will be found under each picture on the
+sheet. It is not necessary to cover the entire back of a picture
+with paste. Put it only on the corners and place neatly within
+the lines you will find printed around each space. Use photographic
+paste, if possible.</p>
+
+<p>After this play-work is completed there will be found at
+the back of the book blank pages upon which the child is to
+write his own story of the great musician, based upon the facts
+and questions found on the previous pages.</p>
+
+<p>The book is then to be sewed by the child through the
+center with the cord found in the enclosed envelope. The book
+thus becomes the child's own book.</p>
+
+<p>This series will be found not only to furnish a pleasing and
+interesting task for the children, but will teach them the main
+facts with regard to the life of each of the great musicians&mdash;an
+educational feature worth while.</p>
+
+<hr />
+
+<p>This series of the Child's Own Book of Great Musicians
+includes at present a book on each of the following:</p>

+Beautiful Melodies</p>
+
+<p>As long as we live and keep in touch with the
+works of the great composers we shall love more and
+more the music of Frederic François Chopin.</p>
+
+<p>It will be pleasant to learn from time to time
+something about him. We should like, for example,
+to know:</p>
+
+<p>In what country he was born.</p>
+
+<p>In what places he lived.</p>
+
+<p>What kinds of music he composed.</p>
+
+<p>Perhaps we may begin by learning that he was
+born in a little village in Poland not far from the City
+of Warsaw, beside which flows the famous river
+Vistula. Here is a picture of the house in which
+Chopin was born.</p>
+
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 685px;">

+<span class="caption">CHOPIN&#39;S BIRTHPLACE</span>
+</div>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum">[Pg 4]</span></p>
+
+<p>Chopin's father, a Frenchman by birth, was a
+schoolmaster. (So was the father of Franz Schubert,
+you remember.) The boy's mother was a native of
+Poland. From the time when he was a little boy, the
+future great composer loved his mother's country and
+the people just as much as he loved the dear mother
+herself.</p>
+
+<p>The father knew that his little son was musical,
+so he took the greatest care to have him taught by the
+best teachers. He watched over him quite as Leopold
+Mozart watched the progress of Wolferl; and as Mendelssohn's
+mother guided Felix and Fanny in their
+first music lessons.</p>
+
+<p>Mendelssohn and Chopin were indeed very nearly
+the same age. Mendelssohn was born in February,
+1809, and Chopin was
+born the first of March in
+the same year. Let us
+keep their names together
+in our memory for the future.</p>
+
+<p>Mendelssohn died two
+years before the death of
+Chopin. Both of these
+great composers kept
+busily at their work until
+the last year of their lives
+although neither of them
+was very strong.</p>

+<p><span class="pagenum">[Pg 5]</span>
+Here is a picture of little Chopin playing for a
+group of boyhood friends.</p>
+

+<span class="caption">LITTLE CHOPIN PLAYING FOR HIS FRIENDS</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>Chopin was only nine years old when he first
+played in public. It is said that he created quite a sensation.
+But like all those who know that talent is
+something to be worked for, he did not stop studying
+just because his playing was pleasing to other people.
+In fact, it was just on that account that he began to
+work all the harder.</p>
+
+<p>Then there came a great change. He left his home
+and went to Paris, where he lived for the rest of his
+life. Even though he was but a youth of twenty-one,
+he had already composed two concertos for the piano.
+These he had played in public to the great delight of
+all who heard him, but especially of his countrymen.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum">[Pg&nbsp;6]</span>
+You see, Chopin's going to Paris was a strange
+journey. The boy was leaving his mother's country
+and going to the land of his father. Like Joseph
+Haydn, who went away at the age of six, Chopin
+never lived at home again.</p>
+
+<p>But he did not reach Paris a stranger. The world
+of music had heard of him and some of its great ones
+welcomed his coming.</p>
+
+<p>Let us always think of these men who knew each
+other well as a family.</p>

+<span class="caption">CHOPIN</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>Liszt was a great pianist.</p>
+
+<p>Berlioz was a famous composer for the orchestra.</p>
+
+<p>Meyerbeer was best known as an operatic composer.</p>
+
+<p>Heine was a great poet whose verses were set to
+music by many song composers.</p>
+
+<p>Berlioz was the only
+one of the group who was born in France.</p>
+
+<p>During his boyhood Chopin played much in public,
+journeying to some of the great cities of Europe,
+among them Vienna, Berlin, and Munich.</p>
+
+<p>Therefore, when he played in Paris it was as an
+<span class="pagenum">[Pg&nbsp;7]</span>
+artist. Here, as at home, he charmed everyone by the
+beauty of his music and the loveliness of his touch.</p>
+
+<p>He possessed the true piano hand. It was somewhat
+narrow. The fingers were long and tapering.
+It seemed at once strong and vigorous, yet delicate
+and sensitive.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 618px;">
+<img src="images/illus10.png" width="618" height="400" alt="No. 10" title="No. 10" />
+<span class="caption">CHOPIN&#39;S HAND</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>Indeed, Chopin's music is of just these qualities.
+It is strong in its nobility, delicate in its sentiment.</p>
+
+<p>One would think that to arrive in Paris and to be
+welcomed by the great ones would make everything
+easy.</p>
+
+<p>But it was not so for Chopin. Only a few people
+were present at his first concert and for quite a while
+he had no pupils.</p>
+
+<p>Indeed, it was all so discouraging that he made
+up his mind to return to his beloved Poland.</p>
+
+<p>His friend, Franz Liszt, begged him not to go.
+Others, too, urged him to stay in Paris. One friend,
+who met him in the street as he was about to leave,
+advised him as did the others to stay in Paris.</p>
+
+<p>But no, he was going home.</p>
+
+<p>"But," said this friend, "first come with me to visit
+a true lover of music."</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum">[Pg&nbsp;8]</span>
+So Chopin went with him to the house of Baron
+Rothschild. Here he played, so charming the company
+with his music that ever so many of them begged
+him for the privilege of lessons.</p>
+
+<p>And so, all in a moment, his troubles blew away,
+as troubles often do. Here is a picture of Chopin
+playing in the home of a prince.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 676px;">

+<span class="caption">CHOPIN PLAYING FOR THE PRINCE</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>Do you wonder what kind of a man the little
+Polish boy became after he found success in Paris?</p>
+
+<p>One person said about him:</p>
+
+<p>"Chopin talks little, and rarely about music. But
+when he does speak of music one must listen to him."</p>
+
+<p>Another said:</p>
+
+<p>"He is reserved and quiet, especially among
+strangers, but among his friends he is witty and full
+of sly humor."</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum">[Pg&nbsp;9]</span>
+But his thoughts were not for words, they did not
+weave the pretty phrases of idle talk. They were busy
+making nocturnes, waltzes, mazurkas, impromptus
+and many other kinds of music that we shall learn to
+love as we hear them.</p>
+
+<p>Music was Chopin's true speech. The world soon
+learned to love what he said in it. And it always will
+love it.</p>
+
+<p>See how beautifully he wrote his music.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 700px;">

+<span class="caption">CHOPIN&#39;S AUTOGRAPH <a href="music/chopin.mid">Listen</a></span>
+</div>
+
+<p>There was neither telephone nor telegraph in
+those days. Yet it did not take long for another composer,
+Robert Schumann, who lived far away, in Germany,
+to learn that a genius by the name of Chopin
+lived in Paris.</p>
+
+<p>The post carried to Schumann a copy of Chopin's
+first printed music. This was a theme taken from
+Mozart's Opera <i>Don Juan</i>, which Chopin arranged
+with variations for the piano.</p>
+
+<p>When Schumann played it to his friends everyone
+exclaimed: "How beautiful it is!"</p>
+
+<p>Then someone said:</p>
+
+<p>"Chopin&mdash;I never heard the name. Who can
+he be?"
+<span class="pagenum">[Pg&nbsp;10]</span></p>
+

+<span class="caption">R. SCHUMANN</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>So we see that his
+thoughts printed as music
+flew like winged messengers
+to carry news of him
+to others in distant places.
+And people not merely
+asked: "Who can he be?"
+but they found out who he
+was, and kept passing the
+news on and on until
+finally it has reached
+us!</p>
+
+<p>Chopin was never a robust person, though he was
+well and busy most of his life. But in the last years
+he suffered much from illness. This led him to travel
+to many places from
+Paris for the good of
+his health.</p>
+
+<p>Chopin was devoted
+to Poland, the beloved
+land of his birth. Here
+is a picture of the great
+composer who has fallen
+asleep at the keyboard
+and is dreaming
+of a glorious future for
+Poland.</p>

+<span class="caption">CHOPIN DREAMING OF POLAND</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>Once he went to
+England and to Scotland.
+He played in
+<span class="pagenum">[Pg&nbsp;11]</span>
+London and was highly praised for the beautiful way
+he performed his own music.</p>
+
+<p>While it is true that Chopin was ill in the last
+years of his life, we must notice that he kept right on
+with his work. He played and composed just as he
+always had done. Chopin died in Paris, October 17,
+1849, just two years after Mendelssohn, who died in
+1847.</p>
+
+<p>Many men, who would have given up everything
+had they not been brave, have worked right on
+through illness.</p>
+
+<p>Milton was blind, but he dictated <i>Paradise Lost</i> to
+his daughter.</p>
+
+<p>Beethoven was deaf, but he did not give up composing.</p>
+
+<p>Robert Louis Stevenson, who wrote the lovely
+<i>Child's Garden of Verses</i>, was ill all his life, but he
+kept on writing. Grieg was probably never well all
+his life, but he never gave up.</p>

+What a lot of cities and countries we must visit

+
+<p>1. Grieg belongs to Norway.</p>
+
+<p>2. Chopin to Warsaw and Paris.</p>
+
+<p>3. Schubert to Vienna in Austria.</p>
+

+
+<p>5. Handel to Germany and England.</p>
+
+<p>6. Haydn to Hungary.</p>
+
+<p>7. Beethoven to Germany and Vienna. (He was

+
+<p>8. Schumann to Germany.</p>
+
+<p>9. Mendelssohn to Hamburg and Berlin, Germany.</p>
+
+<p>10. Mozart to Salzburg and Vienna in Austria.</p>
+
+<p>It will be a pleasant thing for us to see if we can

+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, 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.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.

+
+
+Enclosed in this envelope is the cord and the needle with which to bind
+this book. Start in from the outside as shown on the diagram here. Pass
+the needle and thread through the center of the book, leaving an end
+extend outside, then through to the outside, about 2 inches from the
+center; then from the outside to inside 2 inches from the center at the
+other end of the book, bringing the thread finally again through the
+center, and tie the two ends in a knot, one each side of the cord on the
+outside.

+
+
+
+
+                          HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
+
+
+This book is one of a series known as the CHILD'S OWN BOOK OF GREAT
+MUSICIANS, written by Thomas Tapper, author of "Pictures from the Lives
+of the Great Composers for Children," "Music Talks with Children,"
+"First Studies in Music Biography," and others.
+
+The sheet of illustrations included herewith is to be cut apart by the
+child, and each illustration is to be inserted in its proper place
+throughout the book, pasted in the space containing the same number as
+will be found under each picture on the sheet. It is not necessary to
+cover the entire back of a picture with paste. Put it only on the
+corners and place neatly within the lines you will find printed around
+each space. Use photographic paste, if possible.
+
+After this play-work is completed there will be found at the back of the
+book blank pages upon which the child is to write his own story of the
+great musician, based upon the facts and questions found on the previous
+pages.
+
+The book is then to be sewed by the child through the center with the
+cord found in the enclosed envelope. The book thus becomes the child's
+own book.
+
+This series will be found not only to furnish a pleasing and interesting
+task for the children, but will teach them the main facts with regard to
+the life of each of the great musicians--an educational feature worth
+while.

+            The Story of the Boy who Made Beautiful Melodies
+
+As long as we live and keep in touch with the works of the great
+composers we shall love more and more the music of Frederic Francois
+Chopin.
+
+It will be pleasant to learn from time to time something about him. We
+should like, for example, to know:
+
+In what country he was born.
+
+In what places he lived.
+
+What kinds of music he composed.
+
+Perhaps we may begin by learning that he was born in a little village in
+Poland not far from the City of Warsaw, beside which flows the famous
+river Vistula. Here is a picture of the house in which Chopin was born.
+
+                 [Illustration 2: CHOPIN'S BIRTHPLACE]
+
+Chopin's father, a Frenchman by birth, was a schoolmaster. (So was the
+father of Franz Schubert, you remember.) The boy's mother was a native
+of Poland. From the time when he was a little boy, the future great
+composer loved his mother's country and the people just as much as he
+loved the dear mother herself.
+
+The father knew that his little son was musical, so he took the greatest
+care to have him taught by the best teachers. He watched over him quite
+as Leopold Mozart watched the progress of Wolferl; and as Mendelssohn's
+mother guided Felix and Fanny in their first music lessons.
+
+Mendelssohn and Chopin were indeed very nearly the same age. Mendelssohn
+was born in February, 1809, and Chopin was born the first of March in
+the same year. Let us keep their names together in our memory for the
+future.
+
+Mendelssohn died two years before the death of Chopin. Both of these
+great composers kept busily at their work until the last year of their
+lives although neither of them was very strong.
+
+                    [Illustration 3: F. MENDELSSOHN]
+
+Here is a picture of little Chopin playing for a group of boyhood
+friends.
+
+        [Illustration 4: LITTLE CHOPIN PLAYING FOR HIS FRIENDS]
+
+Chopin was only nine years old when he first played in public. It is
+said that he created quite a sensation. But like all those who know that
+talent is something to be worked for, he did not stop studying just
+because his playing was pleasing to other people. In fact, it was just
+on that account that he began to work all the harder.
+
+Then there came a great change. He left his home and went to Paris,
+where he lived for the rest of his life. Even though he was but a youth
+of twenty-one, he had already composed two concertos for the piano.
+These he had played in public to the great delight of all who heard him,
+but especially of his countrymen.
+
+You see, Chopin's going to Paris was a strange journey. The boy was
+leaving his mother's country and going to the land of his father. Like
+Joseph Haydn, who went away at the age of six, Chopin never lived at
+home again.
+
+But he did not reach Paris a stranger. The world of music had heard of
+him and some of its great ones welcomed his coming.
+
+Let us always think of these men who knew each other well as a family.
+
+                        [Illustration 5: LISZT]
+
+                       [Illustration 6: BERLIOZ]
+
+                      [Illustration 7: MEYERBEER]
+
+                        [Illustration 8: HEINE]
+
+                        [Illustration 9: CHOPIN]
+
+Liszt was a great pianist.
+
+Berlioz was a famous composer for the orchestra.
+
+Meyerbeer was best known as an operatic composer.
+
+Heine was a great poet whose verses were set to music by many song
+composers.
+
+Berlioz was the only one of the group who was born in France.
+
+During his boyhood Chopin played much in public, journeying to some of
+the great cities of Europe, among them Vienna, Berlin, and Munich.
+
+Therefore, when he played in Paris it was as an artist. Here, as at
+home, he charmed everyone by the beauty of his music and the loveliness
+of his touch.
+
+He possessed the true piano hand. It was somewhat narrow. The fingers
+were long and tapering. It seemed at once strong and vigorous, yet
+delicate and sensitive.
+
+                    [Illustration 10: CHOPIN'S HAND]
+
+Indeed, Chopin's music is of just these qualities. It is strong in its
+nobility, delicate in its sentiment.
+
+One would think that to arrive in Paris and to be welcomed by the great
+ones would make everything easy.
+
+But it was not so for Chopin. Only a few people were present at his
+first concert and for quite a while he had no pupils.
+
+Indeed, it was all so discouraging that he made up his mind to return to
+his beloved Poland.
+
+His friend, Franz Liszt, begged him not to go. Others, too, urged him to
+stay in Paris. One friend, who met him in the street as he was about to
+leave, advised him as did the others to stay in Paris.
+
+But no, he was going home.
+
+"But," said this friend, "first come with me to visit a true lover of
+music."
+
+So Chopin went with him to the house of Baron Rothschild. Here he
+played, so charming the company with his music that ever so many of them
+begged him for the privilege of lessons.
+
+And so, all in a moment, his troubles blew away, as troubles often do.
+Here is a picture of Chopin playing in the home of a prince.
+
+            [Illustration 11: CHOPIN PLAYING FOR THE PRINCE]
+
+Do you wonder what kind of a man the little Polish boy became after he
+found success in Paris?
+
+One person said about him:
+
+"Chopin talks little, and rarely about music. But when he does speak of
+music one must listen to him."
+
+Another said:
+
+"He is reserved and quiet, especially among strangers, but among his
+friends he is witty and full of sly humor."
+
+But his thoughts were not for words, they did not weave the pretty
+phrases of idle talk. They were busy making nocturnes, waltzes,
+mazurkas, impromptus and many other kinds of music that we shall learn
+to love as we hear them.
+
+Music was Chopin's true speech. The world soon learned to love what he
+said in it. And it always will love it.
+
+See how beautifully he wrote his music.
+
+                  [Illustration 12: CHOPIN'S AUTOGRAPH]
+
+There was neither telephone nor telegraph in those days. Yet it did not
+take long for another composer, Robert Schumann, who lived far away, in
+Germany, to learn that a genius by the name of Chopin lived in Paris.
+
+The post carried to Schumann a copy of Chopin's first printed music.
+This was a theme taken from Mozart's Opera _Don Juan_, which Chopin
+arranged with variations for the piano.
+
+When Schumann played it to his friends everyone exclaimed: "How
+beautiful it is!"
+
+Then someone said:
+
+"Chopin--I never heard the name. Who can he be?"
+
+                     [Illustration 13: R. SCHUMANN]
+
+So we see that his thoughts printed as music flew like winged messengers
+to carry news of him to others in distant places. And people not merely
+asked: "Who can he be?" but they found out who he was, and kept passing
+the news on and on until finally it has reached us!
+
+Chopin was never a robust person, though he was well and busy most of
+his life. But in the last years he suffered much from illness. This led
+him to travel to many places from Paris for the good of his health.
+
+Chopin was devoted to Poland, the beloved land of his birth. Here is a
+picture of the great composer who has fallen asleep at the keyboard and
+is dreaming of a glorious future for Poland.
+
+              [Illustration 14: CHOPIN DREAMING OF POLAND]
+
+Once he went to England and to Scotland. He played in London and was
+highly praised for the beautiful way he performed his own music.
+
+While it is true that Chopin was ill in the last years of his life, we
+must notice that he kept right on with his work. He played and composed
+just as he always had done. Chopin died in Paris, October 17, 1849, just
+two years after Mendelssohn, who died in 1847.
+
+Many men, who would have given up everything had they not been brave,
+have worked right on through illness.
+
+Milton was blind, but he dictated _Paradise Lost_ to his daughter.
+
+Beethoven was deaf, but he did not give up composing.
+
+Robert Louis Stevenson, who wrote the lovely _Child's Garden of Verses_,
+was ill all his life, but he kept on writing. Grieg was probably never
+well all his life, but he never gave up.
+
+                       [Illustration 15: MILTON]

+                      [Illustration 16: BEETHOVEN]

+
+                        [Illustration 18: GRIEG]
+
+Have you ever thought that the beautiful ideas of great men sometimes
+outlive famous cities?
+
+What a lot of cities and countries we must visit in our thoughts, to see
+the great composers at their work. For example--
+
+1. Grieg belongs to Norway.
+
+2. Chopin to Warsaw and Paris.
+
+3. Schubert to Vienna in Austria.
+
+4. Bach to Thuringia in Saxony, Germany.
+
+5. Handel to Germany and England.
+
+6. Haydn to Hungary.
+
+7. Beethoven to Germany and Vienna. (He was born at Bonn on the Rhine.)
+
+8. Schumann to Germany.
+
+9. Mendelssohn to Hamburg and Berlin, Germany.
+
+10. Mozart to Salzburg and Vienna in Austria.
+
+It will be a pleasant thing for us to see if we can arrange these names
+in order, beginning with the oldest, Bach and Handel, and coming down to
+the latest. By doing such things, time and time again, they begin to
+stick in the memory.

+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, 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.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.
