+
+<p>One of the leading characteristics of the nineteenth century was the
+tremendous change effected in the social life of Great Britain by the
+development of cheap railway travel. The annual holiday at the seaside
+speedily became as inevitable a part of the year's progress as the
+milkman's morning call is of the day's routine. What at first had been a
+rare and memorable event in a life-time developed into a habit, to
+which, with our British love for conventions, all of us conform.</p>
+
+<p>Whether or not our French critics are justified in saying that we
+Britishers take our pleasures sadly, these pages from the seaside
+chronicles of Mr. Punch will bear witness, and while at times they may
+seem to support the case of our critics, at others the evidence is
+eloquent against them. This at least is certain, that whatever the
+temperament of the British as displayed during the holiday season at our
+popular resorts, the point of view of our national jester, Mr. Punch, is
+unfailingly humorous, and such sadness as some of our countrymen may
+bring to their pleasures is but food for the mirth of merry Mr. Punch,
+who, we<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">[Pg 6]</a></span> are persuaded, stands for the sum total of John Bull's good
+humour in his outlook on the life of his countrymen.</p>
+
+<p>As the real abstract and brief chronicler of our time, Mr. Punch has
+mirrored in little the social history of the last sixty-five years, and
+apart from the genuine entertainment which this book presents, it is
+scarcely less instructive as a pictorial history of British manners
+during this period. One may here follow in the vivid sketches of the
+master-draughtsmen of the age the ceaseless and bewildering changes of
+fashion&mdash;the passing of the crinoline, the coming and going of the
+bustle, the chignon, and similar vanities, and the evolution of the
+present-day styles of dress both of men and women.</p>
+
+<p>It is also curious to notice how little seaside customs, amusements,
+troubles and delights, have varied in the last half-century. Landladies
+are at the end what they were at the beginning; the same old type of
+bathing-machine is still in use; our forefathers and their womenfolk in
+the days when Mr. Punch was young behaved themselves by "the silver sea"
+just as their children's children do to-day. Nothing has changed, except
+that the most select of seaside places is no longer so select as it was
+in the pre-railway days, and that the wealthier classes, preferring the
+attractions of Continental resorts, are less in evidence at our own
+watering-places.</p>
+
+<p>The motto of this little work, as of all those in the series to which it
+belongs, is "Our true intent is all for your delight", but if the book
+carry with it some measure of instruction, we trust that may not be the
+less to its credit.</p>

+<h3>A CUTTER ROUNDING THE BUOY</h3>
+</div>
+
+<p>Dear Mr. Punch,&mdash;This is a spot, which, according to your instructions,
+I reached last evening. In these same instructions you described it as
+"a growing place." I fancy it must be of the asparagus order, that
+vegetable, as you are well aware, taking three years in which to develop
+itself to perfection. Highburybarn-on-Sea is, I regret to say, in the
+first stage&mdash;judged from an asparagus point of view. I cannot entertain
+the enthusiastic description of the candid correspondent (I refer to the
+cutting forwarded by you from an eminent daily paper under the heading,
+"By the Golden Ocean.") He describes it as "an oasis on the desert coast
+of Great Britain."<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_48" id="Page_48">[Pg 48]</a></span> Far be it from me to deny the desert&mdash;all I object
+to is the oasis.</p>

+<h3>Limpets</h3>
+</div>
+
+<p>I ask you, sir, if you ever, in the course of the travels in which you
+have out-rivalled Stanley, Cameron, Livingstone, Harry de Windt, and,
+may I add, De Rougemont, ever came across an oasis, consisting of two
+score villas, built with scarcely baked bricks, reposing on an arid
+waste amid a number of tumbled-down cottages, and surmounted by a mighty
+workhouse-like hotel looking down on a pre-Adamite beershop?</p>
+
+<p>The sky was blue, the air was fresh, the waves had retreated to sea when
+I arrived in a jolting omnibus at Highburybarn-on-Sea, and deposited
+myself and luggage at the Metropolitan Hotel. A page-boy was playing
+airs on a Jew's-harp when I alighted on the sand-driven steps of the
+hostelry. He seemed surprised at my arrival, but in most respectful
+fashion placed his organ of minstrelsy in his jacket pocket, the while
+he conveyed my Gladstone<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_50" id="Page_50">[Pg 50]</a></span> bag to my apartment, secured by an interview
+with an elderly dame, who gave an intelligent but very wan smile when I
+suggested dinner. She referred me to the head waiter. This functionary
+pointed in grandiose fashion to the coffee-room, wherein some artistic
+wall-papering wag had committed atrocities on which it would be libel to
+comment.</p>

+<h3>TAKING A DIP AND GETTING A BLOW</h3>
+</div>
+
+<p>There was only one occupant, a short clean-shaven gentleman with white
+hair and a red nose, who was apparently chasing space. This turned out
+to be a militant blue-bottle. Meantime, the head-waiter produced his
+bill of fare, or rather the remains of it. Nearly every dish had
+apparently been consumed, for the most tempting <i>plats</i> were removed
+from the <i>menu</i> by a liberal application of red pencil. Finally, I
+decided on a fried sole and a steak. The white-haired man still pursued
+the blue-bottle.</p>
+
+<p>I went up to my room, and after washing with no<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_52" id="Page_52">[Pg 52]</a></span> soap I returned to the
+coffee-room. The blue-bottle still had the best of it. The head-waiter,
+after the lapse of an hour, informed me that the sole would not be long.
+When it arrived, I found that he spoke the truth. If you have any
+recollection of the repast which <i>Porthos</i> endured when entertained by
+<i>Madame Coquenard</i>, you will have some notion of my feast. The
+head-waiter told me that some bare-legged persons who had waded into the
+water were shrimp-catchers. I only wished that I were one of them, for
+at least they found food.</p>

+
+<p>Later on I retired to rest. I was visited in the hours of darkness, to
+which I had consigned myself, by a horde of mosquitoes, imported, so I
+was informed in the morning, by American travellers, who never tipped
+the waiters. I fulfilled their obligations, still gazing on the auburn
+sand-drift, still looking on the sea, still feeling hungry and murmuring
+to myself, "Highburybarn-on-Sea would be a capital place for children,
+if I could only see any cows." A melancholy cocoa-nut shy by the
+station appeared to afford all the milk in the place.</p>

+<h3>FILEY</h3>
+</div>
+
+<p>Why does not some benefactor to his species discover and publish to a
+grateful world some rational way of spending a wet day at the seaside?
+Why should it be something so unutterably miserable and depressing that
+its mere recollection afterwards makes one shudder?</p>
+
+<p>This is the first really wet day that we have had for a fortnight, but
+what a day! From morn to dewy eve, a summer's day, and far into the
+black night, the pitiless rain has poured and poured and poured. I broke
+the unendurable monotony of gazing from the weeping windows of my
+seaside lodging, by rushing out wildly and plunging madly into the rainy
+sea, and got drenched to the skin both going and returning. After
+changing everything, as people say but don't mean, and thinking I saw
+something like a break in the dull leaden clouds, I again rushed out,
+and called on Jones, who has rooms in an adjacent terrace, and, with
+some difficulty, persuaded him to accompany me to the only billiard
+table in the miserable place. We both got gloriously wet on our way to
+this haven of amusement, and were received with the pleasing
+intelligence that it was engaged by a private party of two, who had
+taken it until the rain ceased, and, when that most improbable event
+happened, two other despairing lodgers had secured the reversion.
+Another rush home, another drenching, another change of everything,
+except the weather, brought the welcome sight of dinner, over which we
+fondly lingered for nearly two mortal hours.</p>
+
+<p>But one cannot eat all day long, even at the seaside on a wet day, and
+accordingly at four o'clock I was again cast upon my own resources.</p>
+
+<p>I received, I confess, a certain amount of grim satisfaction at seeing
+Brown&mdash;Bumptious Brown, as we call him in the City, he being a common
+councilman, or a liveryman, or something of that kind&mdash;pass by in a fly,
+with heaps of luggage and children, all looking so depressingly
+wet,&mdash;and if he had not the meanness to bring with him, in a half-dozen
+hamper,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_82" id="Page_82">[Pg 82]</a></span> six bottles of his abominable Gladstone claret! He grinned at
+me as he passed, like a Chester cat, I think they call that remarkable
+animal, and I afterwards learnt the reason. He had been speculating for
+a rise in wheat, and, as he vulgarly said, the rain suited his book, and
+he only hoped it would last for a week or two! Ah! the selfishness of
+some men! What cared he about my getting wet through twice in one day,
+so long as it raised the price of his wretched wheat?</p>

+<h3>BOATMAN SECURING A LIVELY-HOOD</h3>
+</div>
+
+<p>My wife coolly recommended me to read the second volume of a new novel
+she had got from the Library, called, I think, <i>East Glynne</i>, or some
+such name, but how can a man read in a room with four stout healthy boys
+and a baby, especially when the said baby is evidently very
+uncomfortable, and the four boys are playing at leap-frog? Women have
+this wonderful faculty, my wife to a remarkable extent. I have often,
+with unfeigned astonishment, seen her apparently lost in the sentimental
+troubles of some imaginary heroine, while the noisy domestic realities
+around her have gone on unheeded.</p>
+
+<p>I again took my place at the window, and gazed upon the melancholy sea,
+and remembered, with a smile of bitter irony, how I had agreed to pay an
+extra guinea a week for the privilege of facing the sea!&mdash;and such a
+sea! It was, of course, very low water&mdash;it generally is at this charming
+place; and the sea had retired to its extremest distance, as if utterly
+ashamed of its dull, damp, melancholy appearance. And there stood that
+ridiculous apology for a pier, with its long, lanky, bandy legs, on
+which I have been dragged every evening to hear the band play. Such a
+band! The poor wheezy cornet was bad enough, but the trombone, with its
+two notes that it jerked out like the snorts of a starting train, was a
+caution. Oh! that poor "<i>Sweetheart</i>", with which we were favoured every
+evening! I always pictured her to myself sitting at a window listening,
+enraptured, to a serenade from that trombone!</p>
+
+<p>But there's no band to-night, not a solitary promenader on the
+bandy-legged pier, I even doubt if the pier master is sitting as usual
+at the receipt of custom, and I pull down the blind, to shut out the
+miserable prospect, with such an energetic jerk that I bring down the
+whole complicated machinery, and nearly frighten baby into a fit, while
+the four irreverent boys indulge in a loud guffaw.</p>
+
+<p>Thank goodness, on Saturday I exchange our miserable, wheezy, asthmatic
+band for the grand orchestra of the Covent Garden Promenade Concerts,
+and the awful perfume of rotten seaweed for the bracing atmosphere of
+glorious London.</p>

+
+<p>I was told it was greatly improved&mdash;that there were alterations in the
+sea-front suggestive of the best moments of the Thames Embankment&mdash;that
+quite "smart" people daily paraded the pier. So having had enough of
+"Urn-bye", I moved on. The improvements scarcely made themselves felt at
+the railway station. Seemingly they had not attracted what Mr. Jeames
+would call "the upper suckles." There were the customary British
+middle-class matron from Peckham, looking her sixty summers to the full
+in a sailor hat; the seaside warrior first cousin to the billiard-marker
+captain with flashy rings, beefy hands, and a stick of pantomime
+proportions, and the theatrical lady whose connection with the stage I
+imagine was confined to capering before the footlights. However, they
+all were there, as I had seen them any summer these twenty years.</p>
+
+<p>But I had been told to go to the Pier, and so to the Pier I went,
+glancing on my way at the entertainers on the sands, many of whom I
+found to be old friends. Amongst them was the "h"-less phrenologist,
+whose insight into character apparently satisfied the parents of any
+child whose head he selected to examine. Thus, if he said that a
+particularly stupid-looking little boy would make a good architect,
+schoolmaster, or traveller for fancy goods, a gentleman in an
+alpaca-coat and a wide-awake hat would bow gratified acquiescence, a
+demonstration that would also be evoked from a lady in a dust cloak,
+when the lecturer insisted that a giggling little girl would make a
+"first-rate dressmaker and cutter-out."</p>
+
+<p>Arrived at the Pier, I found there was twopence to pay for the privilege
+of using the extension, which included a restaurant, a band, some
+talented fleas, and a shop with a window partly devoted to the display
+of glass tumblers, engraved with legends of an amusing character, such
+as "Good old Mother-in-Law", "Jack's Night Cap", "Aunt Julia's Half
+Pint", and so on. There were a number of seats and shelters, and below
+the level of the shops was a landing-stage, at which twice a day two
+steamers from or to London removed or landed passengers. During the rest
+of the four-and-twenty hours it seemed to be occupied by a solitary
+angler, catching chiefly seaweed. The Band, in spite of its uniform, was
+not nearly so military as that at "Urn Bye." It contained a
+pianoforte&mdash;an instrument upon which I found the young gentleman who
+sold the programmes practising during a pause between the morning's
+selection and the afternoon's performances. But still the Band was a
+very tuneful one, and increased the pleasure that the presence of so
+many delightful promenaders was bound to produce. Many of the ladies who
+walked round and round, talking courteously to 'Arry in all his
+varieties, wore men's <i>habits</i>, <i>pur et simple</i> (giving them the
+semblance of appearing in their shirt-sleeves), while their heads were
+adorned with fair wigs and sailor hats, apparently fixed on together.</p>
+
+<p>These free-and-easy-looking damsels did not seem to find favour in the
+eyes of certain other ladies of a sedater type, who regarded them (over
+their novels) with undisguised contempt. These other ladies, I should
+think, from their conversation and appearance, must have been the very
+flowers of the flock of Brixton Rise, and the <i>crème de la crême</i> of
+Peckham Rye society. Of course there were a number of more or less known
+actors and actresses from London, some of them enjoying a brief holiday,
+and others engaged in the less lucrative occupation of "resting."</p>
+
+<p>However, the dropping of "h's", even to the accompaniment of sweet
+music, sooner or later becomes monotonous, and so, after awhile, I was
+glad to leave the Pier for the attractions of the Upper Cliff. On my way
+I passed a Palace of Pleasure or Varieties, or Something wherein a
+twopenny wax-work show seemed at the moment to be one of its greatest
+attractions. This show contained a Chamber of Horrors, a scene full of
+quiet humour of Napoleon the Third Lying in State, and an old effigy of
+George the Third. The collection included the waxen head of a
+Nonconformist minister, who, according to the lecturer, had been "wery
+good to the poor", preserved in a small deal-box. There was also the
+"Key-Dyevie" of Egypt, General Gordon, and Mrs. Maybrick. Tearing myself
+away from these miscellaneous memories of the past, I ascended to the
+East Cliff, which had still the "apartments-furnished" look that was
+wont to distinguish it of yore. There was no change there; and as I
+walked through the town, which once, as a watering-place, was second
+only in importance to Bath,&mdash;which a century ago had for its M.C. a
+rival of Beau Nash,&mdash;I could not help thinking how astonished the ghosts
+of the fine ladies and gentlemen who visited "Meregate" in 1789 must be,
+if they are able to see their successors of to-day&mdash;"Good Old Chawlie
+Cadd", and Miss Topsie Stuart Plantagenet, <i>née</i> Tompkins.</p>

+<h2>THE SEASIDE VISITOR'S VADE MECUM.</h2>
+
+<p><i>Question.</i> Is it your intention to leave London at once to benefit by
+the ocean breezes on the English coast?</p>
+
+<p><i>Answer.</i> Certainly, with the bulk of my neighbours.</p>
+
+<p><i>Q.</i> Then the metropolis will become empty?</p>
+
+<p><i>A.</i> Practically, for only about three and a half millions out of the
+four millions will be left behind.</p>
+
+<p><i>Q.</i> What do you consider the remaining residuum?</p>
+
+<p><i>A.</i> From a West End point of view a negligible quantity.</p>
+
+<p><i>Q.</i> Do not some of the Eastenders visit the seaside?</p>
+
+<p><i>A.</i> Yes, at an earlier period in the year, when they pay rather more
+for their accommodation than their neighbours of the West.</p>
+
+<p><i>Q.</i> How can this be, if it be assumed that the East is poorer than the
+West?</p>
+
+<p><i>A.</i> The length of the visit is governed by the weight of the purse.
+Belgravia stays a couple of months at Eastbourne, while three days at
+Margate is enough for Shoreditch.</p>
+
+<p><i>Q.</i> Has a sojourn by the sea waves any disadvantages?</p>
+
+<p><i>A.</i> Several. In the first instance, lodgings are frequently expensive
+and uncomfortable. Then there is always a chance that the last lodgers
+may have occupied their rooms as convalescents. Lastly, it is not
+invariably the case that the climate agrees with himself and his family.</p>
+
+<p><i>Q.</i> And what becomes of the house in town?</p>
+
+<p><i>A.</i> If abandoned to a caretaker, the reception rooms may be used by her
+own family as best chambers, and if let to strangers, the furniture may
+be injured irretrievably.</p>
+
+<p><i>Q.</i> But surely in the last case there would be the certainty of
+pecuniary indemnity?</p>
+
+<p><i>A.</i> Cherished relics cannot be restored by their commonplace value in
+money.</p>
+
+<p><i>Q.</i> Then, taking one thing with another, the benefit of a visit to the
+seaside is questionable?</p>
+
+<p><i>A.</i> Assuredly; and an expression of heartfelt delight at the
+termination of the outing and the consequent return home is the
+customary finish to the, styled by courtesy, holiday.</p>
+
+<p><i>Q.</i> But has not the seaside visit a compensating advantage?</p>
+
+<p><i>A.</i> The seaside visit has a compensating advantage of overwhelming
+proportions, which completely swallows up and effaces all suggestions of
+discomfort&mdash;it is the fashion.</p>

+through Mrs. Cobbler, of Mr. Wisterwhistle, proprietor of the one
+bath-chair available for the invalid of Torsington-on-Sea, who, like
+myself, stands in need of the salubrious air of that health-giving
+resort, but who is ordered by his medical adviser to secure it with the

+<p>Both Mr. Wisterwhistle and his chair are peculiar in their respective

+history. Mr. Wisterwhistle, growing confidential over his antecedents,
+says, "You see, sir, I wasn't brought up to the bath-chair business, so
+to speak, for I began in the Royal Navy, under His Majesty King William
+the Fourth. Then I took to the coastguard business, and having put by a
+matter of thirty pound odd, and hearing 'she' was in the market",&mdash;Mr.
+Wisterwhistle always referred to his bath-chair as 'she', evidently
+regarding it from the nautical stand-point as of the feminine
+gender,&mdash;"and knowing, saving your presence, sir, that old Bloxer, of
+whom I bought her, had such a good crop of cripples the last season or
+two, that he often touched two-and-forty shillings a week with 'em, I
+dropped Her Majesty's service, and took to this 'ere. But, Lor, sir, the
+business ain't wot it wos. Things is changed woeful at Torsington since
+I took her up. Then from 9 o'clock, as you might say, to 6 <span class="smcap">p.m.</span>, every
+hour was took up; and, mind you, by real downright 'aristocracy',&mdash;real
+live noblemen, with gout on 'em, as thought nothink of a two hours'
+stretch, and didn't 'aggle, savin' your presence, over a extra sixpence
+for the job either way. But, bless you, wot's it come to now? Why, she
+might as well lay up in a dry dock arf the week, for wot's come of the
+downright genuine invalid, savin' your presence, blow'd if I knows. One
+can see, of course, sir, in arf a jiffy, as you is touched in the legs
+with the rheumatics, or summat like it; but besides you and a old gent
+on crutches from Portland Buildings, there ain't no real invalid public
+'ere at all, and one can't expect to make a livin' out of you two; for
+if you mean to do the thing ever so 'ansome, it ain't reasonable to
+expect you and the old gent I was a referring to, to stand seven hours a
+day goin' up and down the Esplanade between you, and you see even that
+at a bob an hour ain't no great shakes when you come to pay for 'ousing
+her and keepin' her lookin' spic and span, with all her brass knobs a
+shining and her leather apron fresh polished with patent carriage
+blackin': and Lor, sir, you'd not b'lieve me if I was to tell you what a
+deal of show some parties expects for their one bob an hour. Why, it was
+only the other day that Lady Glumpley (a old party with a front of black
+curls and yaller bows in her bonnet, as I dare say you've noticed me a
+haulin' up and<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_128" id="Page_128">[Pg 128]</a></span> down the Parade when the band's a playin'), says to me,
+says she, 'It ain't so much the easygoin' of your chair, Mr.
+Wisterwhistle, as makes me patronise it, as its general genteel
+appearance. For there's many a chair at Brighton that can't hold a
+candle to it!'" But at this point he was interrupted by the appearance
+of a dense crowd that half filled the street, and drew up in silent
+expectation opposite my front door. Dear me, I had quite forgotten I had

+<h2>ROBERT AT THE SEASIDE</h2>
+
+<p>I've bin spending my long Wacation of a fortnite at Northgate.</p>
+
+<p>Northgate's a nice quiet place, Northgate is, tho' it quite fails in
+most things that constitoots reel injoyment at the seaside, such as
+Bands and Niggers and Minstrels and all that.</p>
+
+<p>It's a grand place for weather, for it generally blows hard at
+Northgate, and wen it doesn't blow hard it rains hard, which makes a
+nice change, and a change is wot we all goes to the seaside for.</p>
+
+<p>It seems a werry favrite place for inwaleeds, for the place is full on
+'em, Bath cheers is in great demand and all the seats on the Prade is
+allus occypied by 'em.</p>
+
+<p>Dr. Scratchem too sends most of his favrite cases there, and you can't
+walk on the Peer without facing lots on 'em.</p>
+
+<p>Brown says the place makes him as sollem as a Common Cryer, and he
+hasn't had a good hearty larf since he came here, but then Brown isn't
+quite sattisfied with his Lodgings, and has acshally recommended his
+Land Lady to turn her house into the Norfolk Howard Hotel, <i>Unlimited</i>,
+so perhaps she may account for his want of spirits. Northgate's rather a
+rum place as regards the tide. Wen it's eye it comes all over the place
+and makes such a jolly mess, and wen it's low it runs right out to sea
+and you can't see it. Brown tried to persuade me as how as one werry eye
+tide was a spring tide, but as it was in September I wasn't so green as
+to beleeve that rubbish.</p>
+
+<p>It seems quite a pet place for Artists, I mean Sculpchers, at least I
+s'pose they must be Sculpchers, and that they brings their Moddels with
+'em, for the Bathing Machines is stuck close to the Peer, so dreckly
+after breakfast the Moddels goes and bathes in the Sea, and the
+Sculpchers goes on the Peer, and there's nothink to divert their
+attention from their interesting studdys, and many on 'em passes ours
+there quietly meditating among the Bathing Machines.</p>
+
+<p>Brown says, in his sarcastic way, it's the poor Sculpchers as comes
+here, who can't afford to pay for their Moddels, so they comes here and
+gets 'em free gratis for nothink.</p>
+
+<p>There's sum werry nice walks in the nayberhood but I never walks 'em,
+for it seems to me that the grate joke of every Buysicler and Trysicler,
+and the place swarms with 'em, is to cum quietly behind you and see how
+close he can go by you without nocking you down. I'm sure the jumps
+and the starts and the frites as I had the fust day or too kep my Art in
+my mouth till I thort it would have choked me.</p>
+
+<p>How Ladys, reel Ladys too, can expose theirselves on such things I can't
+make out. I herd a young Swell say that wot with them and what with the
+Bathing Moddels it was as good as a Burlesk!</p>
+
+<p>We've got werry cumferrabel Lodgings, we have, just opposite the Gas
+Works and near a Brick Field. When the wind is South or West we smells
+the bricks and when its East we smells the Gas, but when its doo North
+we don't smell nuffen excep just a trifle from the Dranes, and so long
+as we keeps quite at the end of the werry long<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_168" id="Page_168">[Pg 168]</a></span> Peer we don't smell
+nuffen at all excep the sea weed.</p>

+don't think the living was good enuff for 'em. It must be a werry trying

+
+<p>I think our Boatmen is about the lazyest set of fellows as ever I seed.
+So far from begging on you to have a soft Roe with the Tide, or a hard

+<blockquote><p><i>Close under the Parade wall a large circle has been formed,
+consisting chiefly of Women on chairs and camp-stools, with an
+inner ring of small Children, who are all patiently awaiting the
+arrival of a troupe of Niggers. At the head of one of the flights
+of steps leading up to the Parade, a small and shrewish Child-nurse
+is endeavouring to detect and recapture a pair of prodigal younger
+Brothers, who have given her the slip.</i></p></blockquote>

+
+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 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.
