+  THE
+  PREFACE.
+
+
+Ladies,
+
+_In the Tacker together of Mundus Muliebris, As it was a very great
+Piece of ill Manners, to unlock your Dressing-Rooms without your Leave,
+so was it no less indecent in him to expose your Wardrobes to the World,
+especially in such a Rhapsody of Rhime Doggeril as looks much more like
+an Inventory than a Poem; however, he has only pilfer'd away the Names
+of your Varieties without doing ye any other Mischief; for there is
+nothing to be found in all his Index, nor his Dictionary neither, but
+what becomes a Person of Quality to give, and a Person of Quality to
+receive; and indeed, considering how frail the mortal Estates of mortal
+Gentlemen are, it argues but a common Prudence in Ladies to take
+Advantage of the Kindness of their Admirers_; to make Hay while the Sun
+shines; _well knowing how often they are inveigl'd out of their
+Jointures upon all Occasions: Besides, it is a_ _general Desire in Men,
+that their Ladies should keep Home, and therefore it is but reasonable
+they should make their Homes as delightful as it is possible; and
+therefore this Bubble of an Inventory is not to be thought the Effect of
+general Repentance, among your Servants and Adorers, but the capricious
+Malice of some Person envious of the little Remunerations of your
+Kindnesses for being disbandded from your Conversation; little indeed,
+considering the Rewards due to your Merits, otherwise it would be the
+greatest Injustice upon Earth for the Men to think of reforming the
+Women before they reform themselves, who are ten times worse in all
+respects, as you will have sufficient to retort upon them when you come
+by and by to the Matter._
+
+_But to shew that it is no new thing for Ladies to go gay and gaudy, we
+find in Ovid, that the Women made use of great Variety of Colours for
+the Silks of which they made their Garments, of which the chiefest in
+request among them were Azure, Sea-green, Saffron colour, Violet, Ash
+colour, Rose colour, Chesnut, Almond Colour, with several others, as
+their Fancy thought fit to make choice; nor were they deny'd the Purple
+in Grain, overlaid with Pearl, or embroider'd with Gold: Nor_ _was it a
+strange thing for the Roman Women to die their Hair Yellow, as an
+augmentation to their Beauty; nor did the severity of the times at all
+oppose it, but rather allow'd it. Now, says Ovid, The Manner of dressing
+is not of one sort, and therefore let every Lady choose what best
+becomes her; first consulting her Looking-glass. And soon after, he
+confesses that there were not more Leaves upon a large Oak, not so many
+Bees in Hybla, nor so many wild Beasts ranging the Alps as he could
+number differences of dressing Ladies. He tells ye how Laodamia drest to
+set off a long Face. How Diana drest when she went a Hunting: And how
+Iole was carelessly drest when she took Alcides Captive in the Dangles
+of her Tresses: So that it is no such new thing for the Women of this
+Age to desire rich and splendid Ornaments. And why their Grandmothers,
+and Great Grandmothers confin'd themselves to their Nuptial Kirtles,
+their Gowns and Petticoats that lasted so many Anniversaries; their
+Virginals for Musick, and their Spanish Pavans, and Sellingers Rounds
+for Recreation, after their long poring upon Tent-stitch, 'tis not a
+farthing Matter for our Ladies to enquire: 'Twas their Misfortune they
+knew no better; but because they_ _knew no better, 'tis no Argument that
+our Ladies should be ty'd to their obsolete Examples: For the
+Alterations of Times and Customs alter the Humors and Fashions of an
+Age, and change the whole Frame of Conversation. Juno is by the Poets
+trick'd up in Vestments embroidered with all the Colours of the
+Peacocks; and no question the Poets spoke with Relation to the Gallantry
+of the Women of those times. And who so gaudy as Madam Iris in the Skie,
+and therefore said to be chief Maid of Honour to Jupiter's Wife. I could
+give ye an Account of the Habits of Venus, and the Graces, which the
+Poets adapting to the Modes of those Times, plainly demonstrates, that
+the Ladies were no less curious in those days than now._
+
+_So then, Ladies, for your comfort be it spoken, here's only a Great Cry
+and little Wool; while the Unlocker of your Dressing-Rooms brings us a
+long Bedroll of hard Names to prove that you make use of a great deal of
+Variety to set forth and grace your Beauty, and render your Charms more
+unresistable, and that you love to have your Closets splendidly and
+richly furnish'd: Heavens be prais'd, he lays nothing Criminal to your
+Charge; but only puts ye in mind of a Chapter in Isaiah, of which_ _you
+are not bound to take much notice, in regard his mistaking the 6. for
+the 3: may secure ye there is little heed to be given to his Divinity._
+
+_But on the other side it makes me mad to hear what the Devil of a Roman
+Satyr Juvenal speaks of his own Sex; for tho' he makes Women bad enough,
+he makes it an easier thing to meet with Prodigies and Monsters, than
+Men of Sense and Vertue._
+
+  Should I behold in _Rome_, that Man, _says he_,
+  That were of spotless Fame, and Life unblam'd;
+  More than a Wonder it would be to me,
+  And I that Monster would compare to damn'd:
+  Two-headed Boy, with double Members born,
+  Or Fish, by Plow turn'd up, where lately Corn
+  In fertile Acres grew; or Fole by Mule
+  Brought forth, as Heaven would Nature over-rule:
+  No less amaz'd, than if a stoney Showre
+  Should from the Skie upon the Pavement pour;
+  Or that some Swarm of Bees, ascending higher
+  Than usually, should cluster on the Temple Spire;
+  Or that some rapid and impetuous Stream,
+  Should roll into the Sea, all Bloud, or Cream.
+
+_Heavens! how many Wonders do's Juvenal make at the sight of an Honest
+Man in his time; and yet when he has spoken as bad as he could of_ _the
+Women, we find no such severe Expressions of his upon the Female Sex.
+Now Ladies if good Men are so scarce, what need you care what Fools and
+bad Men say. 'Tis true it must be acknowledg'd a hard Censure upon Men;
+but it was a Man that said it; and therefore it makes the better for the
+Feminine Gender. Well, Ladies, you may be pleas'd to make what use of it
+you think fit, as being that which will certainly defend ye against all
+the Picklocks of your Dressing-Rooms for the future; besides the Liberty
+which Ovid, an Authentick Author, gives ye, to make use of what Dresses,
+what Ornaments, what Embellishments you please, according to the Mode
+and Practice of those times, under one of the best Rulers of the Roman
+Empire, and far more antient than when your Grandmothers and Great
+Grandmothers spun Flax, and bespittl'd their Fingers._
+
+
+
+
+             THE
+         Fop Display'd;
+
+              OR,
+
+     The Ladies VINDICATION:
+
+          In ANSWER to
+
+  The Ladies Dressing-Room Unlock'd, _&c._
+
+
+  Fain wou'd I, Ladies, briefly know
+  How you have injur'd Bully _Beau_;
+  That he thus falls, with so much noise,
+  Upon your Trinkets, and your Toys?
+  Something was in't; for I protest t' ye,
+  He has most wonderfully drest ye:
+  Nor has his Wrath spar'd ye an inch,
+  To set ye out in Pedlars French;
+  And all his Readers to possess,
+  That Women conjure when they dress:
+  Malicious _Beau_-Design, to make
+  The Ladies Dressing-Room to speak
+  Hard Words, unknown to all their Gransires;
+  The Language like of Necromancers.
+  Heavens! must Men still be at th' Mercies
+  Of new _Medeas_, and new _Circes_;
+  Not working by the fatal Powers
+  Of old inchanting Herbs and Flowers;
+  But by the Magick of their Garments,
+  Conspiring to renew our Torments?
+  I'll not believe the venomous Satyr,
+  It cannot be in Ladies Nature,
+  So amiable, sweet, and active,
+  To Study Magical Attractive;
+  As if they Wanted Help of _Endor_,
+  Their Graces more Divine to render.
+  Rather we think this _Jargonry_
+  Beyond the Skill of Doctor Dee:
+  Hell's Preacher, _Phlegyas,_ from below,
+  Call'd up, and hous'd in carnal _Beau_;
+  With wicked Hells _Enthusiasm_,
+  Between each Sex to make a _Chasm_;
+  For _Virgil_, never tax'd of Nonsense;
+  Nor yet provok'd, to injure Lady
+  Brings in the same infernal Rabbi,
+  Among the Damn'd, disturb'd in Conscience;
+  And stirr'd with like Satyrick Rage,
+  Against the Females of that Age.
+    Ingratefull Rhimer! thus to vex
+  The more refin'd and lovely Sex,
+  By acting like officious Novice,
+  Informer in the Devil's _Crown-Office_,
+  If we mayn't rather take him for
+  Some busie, bold Apparator,
+  In Satan's Commons Court of Arches,
+  By his more Feminine Researches:
+  Tho' what if many a tainted Whore
+  Tormented him before his hour,
+  'Twas mean Revenge, howe'er, to fall
+  On the whole Sex in general;
+  'Cause 'twas his ill luck still to light
+  On Ware unsound, for want of Wit.
+    What if the Ladies will be brave,
+  Why may not they a Language have
+  To wrap their Trinkets up in Mystery?
+  Since Men are much more blam'd in History,
+  For tying up their Slipper peaks
+  With Silver Chains, that reach'd their Necks.
+  Was't not, d'ye think, a pleasant sight,
+  To see the smiling Surgeon slit
+  The swelling Figs, in Bum behind,
+  Caught by misusing of his Kind?
+  But Women, only for being quaint,
+  To signifie the Things they want
+  By proper Names, must be reproach'd;
+  For wanton, foolish, and debauch'd;
+  Yet Learning is no Crime to Ladies,
+  And Terms of Art are still where Trade is.
+  Printers speak Gibb'rish at their Cafes;
+  And Weavers talk in unknown Phrases;
+  And Blacksmith's 'Prentice takes his Lessons
+  From Arabick (to us) Expressions:
+  Why then mayn't Ladies, in their Stations,
+  Use novel Names for novel Fashions?
+  And is not _Colbertine_, God save us,
+  Much nearer far than _Wevus mavus_;
+  A sort of Cant, with which the young
+  Corrupted once their Mother Tongue:
+  Is such a Bumpkin Cant as that
+  Fit for an Age where only what
+  Is brisk and airy, new refin'd,
+  Exalts the Wit, and clears the mind?
+  No ladies, no; go on your way;
+  Gay Cloaths require gay Words, we say.
+    When Art has trimm'd up Head-Attire,
+  Fit for a Nation to admire;
+  And Head and Ornament are well met,
+  Like Amazonian Plume and Helmet;
+  To call that by a vulgar Name,
+  Would be too mean, and th' Artist shame;
+  Call it a _Septizonimum_, or _Tiara_;
+  Or what you please, that's new and rare-a.
+  May not the Head, the Seat of Sense,
+  Name it's own Dress, without Offence?
+  The Roman Ladies, you are told,
+  Wore such a Head-Attire of old;
+  And what if _Juvenal_ were such a Satyr,
+  The Roman Ladies to bespatter;
+  Tell _Juvenal_, he was a Fool,
+  And must not think to _England_ rule:
+  Why should her Jewels move my Spleen;
+  Let her out-dazle _Egypt_'s Queen:
+  It shows that Gold the Pocket lines,
+  Where such illustrious Glory shines;
+  And there's a sort of Pride becomes
+  The Pomp of Dress, as well as Rooms.
+  I would not for the world be thought
+  To pick a hole in Ladies Coat;
+  Because they make it their Delight,
+  To keep their Bodies trim and tite.
+  What though the Names be new, and such
+  As borrow from the French and Dutch?
+  Or strain'd from the Italian Idiom,
+  Rather from hence I take the Freedom,
+  To praise their Care, thus to enrich
+  And fructifie our barren Speech,
+  We owe to their Vocabulary,
+  That makes our Language full and airy,
+  Enlarging _Meige_'s Dictionary.
+  Where things want Names, Names must be had:
+  Shall Lady cry to Chamber-maid,
+  Bring me my Thing there, for my head;
+  My Thing there, quilted white and red;
+  My Thing there for my Wrists and Neck;
+  'Tis ten to One the Maids mistake;
+  Then Lady cries, The Devil take
+  Such cursed Sots; my tother Thing;
+  Then 'stead of Shoes, the Cuffs they bring.
+  'Slife--Lady crys, if I rise up,
+  I'll send thee to the Devil to sup;
+  And thus, like _Babel_, in conclusion,
+  The Lady's Closet's all Confusion;
+  When as if Ladies name the Things,
+  The Maid, whate'er she bid her, brings;
+  Neither is Lady chaf'd with Anger,
+  Nor Bones of Maiden put in danger.
+    Sure then 'twas some ill-natur'd _Beau_,
+  To persecute the Ladies so;
+  For peopling, of their own accords,
+  _Phillip's English World of Words_:
+  A _Beau_ more cruel than the _Goths_,
+  Thus to deny the Women Cloaths:
+  As if to theirs the rich Additions
+  Were Heathen Rites, and Superstitions;
+  Or else, as if from _Picts_ descended,
+  He were with Women's Cloaths offended;
+  And spite of cold, or heat of air,
+  He lov'd to see Dame Nature bare.
+  Their Shoes and Stays, he says, are tawdry,
+  Not fit to wear 'cause of th' Embroidry.
+  For Petticoats he'd have e'm bare-breech'd,
+  From _India_ 'cause the Stuffs are far-fetch'd.
+  Their Points and Lace he damns to Hell;
+  Corruptions of the Common-Weal.
+  The vain Exceptions of Wiseacres,
+  Fit to goe herd among the Quakers;
+  And talk to _Maudlin_, in close Hood,
+  Things that themselves ne'er understood.
+  Now let us then the _Beau_ survey,
+  Has he no Baubles to display:
+  There's first the _Dango_, and the _Snake_,
+  Those _Dildoes_ in the Nape of Neck;
+  That dangle down behind, to shew
+  Dimensions of the _Snake_ below:
+  'Tis thick, and long; but pizzl'd at th' end,
+  And would be thought the Woman's Friend:
+  Yet they who many times have try'd,
+  By _Dango_ swear the _Snake_ bely'd.
+  Then th' insignificant _Knee-Rowl_,
+  A mere _Whim-wham_, upon my Soul;
+  For that 'twas never made, I fear,
+  To save the Master's Knees at Prayer:
+  Which being worn o'th' largest size,
+  That Man _Rolls_ full, the Bully cries.
+  A Term of Art for Knees Concinnity,
+  Beyond the Sense of School-Divinity.
+    What _Beau_ himself would so unman,
+  To ride in scandalous Sedan?
+  A Carriage only fit for Midwives,
+  That of their Burthens go to rid Wives;
+  Unless to hide, from Revelation,
+  Th' Adulterer's haste to Assignation.
+    What Dunces are our Tonsors grown,
+  Where's their Gold Filings in an Amber Box,
+  To strew upon their Masters Locks,
+  And make 'em glitter in the Sun?
+  Sure English _Beaus_ may out-vie _Venus_,
+  As well as _Commodus_, or _Gallienus_.
+  'Twas Goldilocks, my lovely Boy,
+  Made _Agamemnon_ ruine _Troy_.
+    I could produce ye Emperours
+  That sate in Womens Dress whole hours,
+  Expos'd upon the publick Stage
+  Their Catamites, Wives by Marr'age.
+    Your old Trunk-hose are laid aside,
+  For what-d'-ye-call-em's Tail to hide;
+  So strait and close upon the Skin,
+  As onely made for Lady's Eyne;
+  To see the shape of Thighs and Groin:
+  Hard case _Priapus_ should be so restrain'd,
+  That had whole Orchards at command.
+  Yet these are Toys, in Men, more wise,
+  To Womens innocent Vanities.
+  While soft Sir _Courtly Nice_ looks great,
+  With the unmortgag'd Rents of his Estate:
+  What is the Learning he adores,
+  But the Discourse of Pimps and Whores?
+  She who can tye, with quaintest Art,
+  The spruce Cravat-string, wins his Heart;
+  Where that same Toy does not exactly sit,
+  He's not for common Conversation fit.
+  How is the Barber held Divine,
+  That can a Perriwig _Carine_!
+  Or else _Correct_ it; which you please;
+  For these are _Terms_ too, now-a-days,
+  Of modern Gallants to entice
+  The Barber to advance his Price:
+  For if a Barber be not dear,
+  He must not cover Coxcomb's Ear.
+    Bless us! what's there? 'tis something walks,
+  A piece of Painting, and yet speaks:
+  Hard Case to blame the Ladies Washes,
+  When Men are come to mend their Faces.
+  Yet some there are such Women grown,
+  They cann't be by their Faces known:
+  Some wou'd be like the fair _Adonis_;
+  Some would be _Hyacinthus_ Cronies;
+  And then they study wanton use
+  Of Spanish Red, and white Ceruse;
+  The only Painters to the Life,
+  That seem with Natures self at strife;
+  As if she only the dead Colours laid,
+  But they the Picture perfect made.
+  What _Zeuxis_ dare provoke these Elves,
+  That to out-doe him paint themselves?
+  For tho' the Birds his painted Grapes did crave,
+  These paint and all Mankind deceive.
+  This sure must spend a World of Morning,
+  More than the Ladies quick adorning;
+  They have found out a shorter way,
+  Not as before, to wast the day;
+  They only comb, wash hands and face,
+  And streightway, with a comely Grace,
+  On the admired _Helmet_ goes,
+  As ready rigg'd as their lac'd Shoes.
+  Far much more time Men trifling wast,
+  E'er their soft Bodies can be drest;
+  The Looking-Glass hangs just before,
+  And each o'th' Legs requires an hour:
+  Now thereby, Ladies, hangs a Tale,
+  A Story for your Cakes and Ale.
+  A certain _Beau_ was lately dressing,
+  But sure, e'er he had crav'd Heavens Blessing;
+  When in comes Friend, and finds him laid
+  In mournfull plight, upon his Bed.
+  Dear _Tom_, quoth he, such a Mischance
+  As ne'er befell the Foes of _France_;
+  Nay, I must tell thee, _Fleury_ Battel
+  Was ne'er to _Europe_ half so fatal;
+  For by I know not what ill luck,
+  My Glass this Morn fell down and broke
+  Upon my Shin, just in my Rolling;
+  Now is not this worth thy condoling?
+  See Stocking cut, and bloody Shin,
+  Besides the Charge of healing Skin.
+  'Twas the only Kindness of my Fate,
+  It mist the solid Piece, my Pate.
+    Ladies, this was ill luck, but you
+  Have much the worser of the two;
+  The World is chang'd I know not how,
+  For Men kiss Men, not Women now;
+  And your neglected Lips in vain,
+  Of smugling _Jack_, and _Tom_ complain:
+  A most unmanly nasty Trick;
+  One Man to lick the other's Cheek;
+  And only what renews the shame
+  Of _J._ the first, and _Buckingham_:
+  He, true it is, his Wives Embraces fled
+  To slabber his lov'd _Ganimede_;
+  But to employ, those Lips were made
+  For Women in _Gomorrha_'s Trade;
+  Bespeaks the Reason ill design'd,
+  Of railing thus 'gainst Woman-kind:
+  For who that loves as Nature teaches,
+  That had not rather kiss the Breeches
+  Of Twenty Women, than to lick
+  The Bristles of one Male dear _Dick_?
+    Now wait on _Beau_ to his _Alsatia_,
+  A Place that loves no _Dei Gratia_;
+  Where the Undoers live, and Undone,
+  In _London_, separate from _London_;
+  Where go but Three Yards from the street,
+  And you with a new Language meet:
+  _Prig_, _Prigster_, _Bubble_, _Caravan_,
+  _Pure Tackle_, _Buttock_, _Purest pure_.
+  _Sealers_, _Putts_, _Equipp_, and _Bolter_;
+  _Lug out_, _Scamper_, _rub_ and _scowre_.
+  _Ready_, _Rhino_, _Coal_, and _Darby_,
+  _Meggs_, and _Smelts_, and _Hoggs_, and _Decus_;
+  _Tathers_, _Fambles_, _Tatts_ and _Doctors_,
+  _Bowsy_, _Smoaky_, _Progg_, and _Cleare_,
+  _Bolter_, _Banter_, _Cut a shamm_;
+  With more a great deal of the same.
+  Should _Saffold_ make but half this Rattle,
+  When Maidens visit his O-racle,
+  They'd take him for some Son of _Cham_,
+  Calling up Legion by his Name,
+    Add but to this the Flanty-Tant
+  Of Fopling Al-a-mode Gallant;
+  Why should not _Gris_, or _Jardine_,
+  Be as well allow'd as _Bien gaunte_;
+  _Cloaths_ is a paltry Word _Ma foy_;
+  But Grandeur in the French _Arroy_.
+  _Trimming_'s damn'd English, but _le Grass_
+  Is that which must for Modish pass.
+  To call a Shoe a Shoe, is base,
+  Let the genteel _Picards_ take Place.
+  Hang _Perriwig_, 'tis only fit
+  For Barbers Tongues that ne'er spoke Wit;
+  But if you'd be i'th' Fashion, choose
+  The far politer Term, _Chedreux_
+  What Clown is he that proudly moves,
+  With on his hands what we call Gloves?
+  No Friend, for more refin'd converse
+  Will tell ye they are _Orangers_.
+  So strangely does _Parisian_ Air
+  Change English Youth, that half a year
+  Makes 'em forget all Native Custome,
+  To bring French Modes, and _Gallic_ Lust home;
+  Nothing will these Apostates please,
+  But _Gallic_ Health, and French Disease.
+  In French their Quarrels, and their Fears,
+  Their Joys they publish, and their Cares;
+  In French they quarrel, and in French
+  _Mon coeur,_ they cry, to paltry Wench.
+    Why then should these Extravagants
+  Make such Rhime-doggeril Complaints
+  Against the Ladies Dressing-Rooms,
+  And closets stor'd with rich Perfumes?
+  There's nothing there but what becomes
+  The Plenty of a fair Estate:
+  Tho' Chimney Furniture of Plate,
+  Tho' Mortlake Tapestry, Damask-Bed;
+  Or Velvet all Embroidered;
+  Tho' they affect a handsome store,
+  Of part for State, of usefull more;
+  They're Glories not to be deny'd
+  To Women, stopping there their Pride;
+  For such a Pride has nothing ill,
+  But only makes them more genteel.
+  Should Nature these fine Toys produce,
+  And Women be debarr'd the use?
+  These are no Masculine Delights;
+  Studies of Books for Men are sights;
+  A Stable with good Horses stor'd,
+  And Payment punctual to their Word:
+  Proportion these things to my Wishes,
+  Let Women take the Porcelan Dishes;
+  The Toylet Plates gilt and embost,
+  With all the rest of little cost;
+  Such small Diffusion feeds the Poor,
+  While Misers hoard up all their store.
+    Our Satyr then was one of those
+  Who ne'er had Wealth at his dispose;
+  Or being sped to live in Plenty,
+  Posted to find his Coffers empty;
+  Addicted all to sport and Gaming,
+  And that same Vice not worth the naming;
+  Till deeply dipp'd in Us'rers Books,

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

+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

+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.

+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be

+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 https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation

+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

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