+
+
+St. Bartholomew's Eve: A Tale of the Huguenot Wars. By G. A. HENTY.
+With 12 page Illustrations by H. J. DRAPER, and a Map. Crown 8vo,
+cloth elegant, olivine edges, 6_s._
+
+    The title of this story takes you at once to its subject. The
+    hero, Philip Fletcher, is a right true English lad, but he has a
+    French connection on the mother's side. This kinship induces him
+    to cross the Channel in order to take a share in that splendid
+    struggle for freedom known as the Huguenot wars. Naturally he
+    sides with the Protestants, distinguishes himself in various
+    battles, and receives rapid promotion for the zeal and daring with
+    which he carries out several secret missions. At length, however,
+    he is entrapped in Paris, with other prominent Huguenots, on that
+    terrible St. Bartholomew's Eve, when the tocsin gave the signal
+    at midnight for the massacre to begin. It is an enthralling
+    narrative, and the chapter which deals with the escape of the hero
+    out of that monstrous city is one of the most thrilling in a story
+    which is full of interest.
+
+Through the Sikh War: A Tale of the Conquest of the Punjaub. By G. A.
+HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations by HAL HURST, and a Map. Crown 8vo,
+cloth elegant, olivine edges, 6_s._
+
+    This story gives a vivid picture of the pluck and obstinacy with
+    which the British maintained their ascendency in India. Percy
+    Groves, a spirited English lad, leaves school to join his uncle in
+    the Punjaub, where he is governor of a district under the native
+    Sikh prince, Runjeet Singh. The natives are in a state of revolt,
+    and Percy takes an active part in all the troubles which precede
+    the Sikh war. His uncle's fortress is beleaguered, and he assists
+    in repelling the attack. Then when the authorities at Lahore
+    proclaim war Percy joins the British force as a volunteer, and
+    takes a distinguished share in the famous battles of Moodkee,
+    Sobraon, and Chillianwalla. Apart from its high interest as a
+    record of personal daring, this story shows in dashing style how
+    Englishmen have made an Empire.

+olivine edges, 6_s._
+
+    "Beric the Briton is the boy's book of the year."--_Observer._
+
+    "We are not aware that any one has given us quite so vigorous a
+    picture of Britain in the days of the Roman conquest. Mr. Henty
+    has done his utmost to make an impressive picture of the haughty
+    Roman character, with its indomitable courage, sternness, and
+    discipline. _Beric_ is good all through."--_Spectator._

+By G. A. HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations by W. S. STACEY, and a Map.
+Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, Olivine edges, 6_s._
+
+    "There are adventures of all kinds for the hero and his friends,
+    whose pluck and ingenuity in extricating themselves from awkward
+    fixes are always equal to the occasion. It is an excellent story,
+    and if the proportion of history is smaller than usual, the whole
+    result leaves nothing to be desired."--_Journal of
+    Education._
+
+Redskin and Cow-boy: A Tale of the Western Plains. By G. A. HENTY.
+With 12 page Illustrations by ALFRED PEARSE. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant,
+olivine edges, 6_s._
+
+    "It has a good plot; it abounds in action; the scenes are equally
+    spirited and realistic, and we can only say we have read it with
+    much pleasure from first to last. The pictures of life on a cattle
+    ranche are most graphically painted, as are the manners of the
+    reckless but jovial cow-boys."--_Times._
+
+The Dash for Khartoum: A Tale of the Nile Expedition. By G. A. HENTY.
+With 10 page Illustrations by J. SCHÖNBERG and J. NASH, and 4 Plans.

+
+    "The Dash for Khartoum is your ideal boys' book."--_Tablet._
+
+    "It is literally true that the narrative never flags a moment; for
+    the incidents which fall to be recorded after the dash for
+    Khartoum has been made and failed are quite as interesting as
+    those which precede it."--_Academy._
+
+By England's Aid: The Freeing of the Netherlands (1585-1604). By G. A.
+HENTY. With 10 page Illustrations by ALFRED PEARSE, and 4 Maps. Crown

+
+    "Boys know and love Mr. Henty's books of adventure, and will
+    welcome his tale of the Freeing of the Netherlands."--_Athenæum._
+
+    "The story is told with great animation, and the historical
+    material is most effectively combined with a most excellent
+    plot."--_Saturday Review._
+
+By Right Of Conquest: Or, With Cortez in Mexico. By G. A. HENTY. With
+10 page Illustrations by W. S. STACEY, and 2 Maps. Crown 8vo, cloth

+    in this admirable and ingenious story."--_Saturday Review._
+
+    "_By Right of Conquest_ is the nearest approach to a
+    perfectly successful historical tale that Mr. Henty has yet
+    published."--_Academy._

+8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 6_s._
+
+    "The story is a capital one and full of variety, and presents us
+    with many picturesque scenes of Southern life. Young Wingfield,
+    who is conscientious, spirited, and 'hard as nails,' would have
+    been a man after the very heart of Stonewall
+    Jackson."--_Times._

+
+    "The mission of Ned to deliver letters from William the Silent to
+    his adherents at Brussels, the fight of the _Good Venture_
+    with the Spanish man-of-war, the battle on the ice at Amsterdam,
+    the siege of Haarlem, are all told with a vividness and skill,
+    which are worthy of Mr. Henty at his best."--_Academy._

+olivine edges, 6_s._

+    "Among writers of stories of adventure for boys Mr. Henty stands
+    in the very first rank. Those who know something about India will
+    be the most ready to thank Mr. Henty for giving them this
+    instructive volume to place in the hands of their
+    children."--_Academy._
+
+The Lion of St. Mark: A Tale of Venice in the Fourteenth Century. By
+G. A. HENTY. With 10 page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. Crown 8vo,

+
+    "Every boy should read _The Lion of St. Mark._ Mr. Henty has

+    vivacious. From first to last it will be read with keen
+    enjoyment."--_The Saturday Review._
+
+Under Drake's Flag: A Tale of the Spanish Main. By G. A. HENTY.
+Illustrated by 12 page Pictures by GORDON BROWNE. Crown 8vo, cloth
+elegant, olivine edges, 6_s._
+
+    "There is not a dull chapter, nor, indeed, a dull page in the
+    book; but the author has so carefully worked up his subject that
+    the exciting deeds of his heroes are never incongruous or
+    absurd."--_Observer._
+
+Bonnie Prince Charlie: A Tale of Fontenoy and Culloden. By G. A.
+HENTY. With 12 page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. Crown 8vo, cloth
+elegant, olivine edges, 6_s._
+
+    "Ronald, the hero, is very like the hero of _Quentin Durward._ The
+    lad's journey across France with his faithful attendant Malcolm,
+    and his hairbreadth escapes from the machinations of his father's
+    enemies, make up as good a narrative of the kind as we have ever
+    read. For freshness of treatment and variety of incident, Mr.
+    Henty has here surpassed himself."--_Spectator._

+    "Mr. Henty's graphic prose pictures of the hopeless Jewish

+
+    "Does justice to the pluck and determination of the British

+
+    "A praiseworthy attempt to interest British youth in the great

+
+    "The effect of an interesting story, well constructed and vividly
+    told, is enhanced by the picturesque quality of the scenic

+    narrative. It bears us along as on a stream, whose current varies
+    in direction, but never loses its force."--_Saturday Review._

+
+    "A model of what a boys' story-book should be. Mr. Henty has a

+    details, his books supply useful aids to study as well as

+
+    "Mr. Henty inspires a love and admiration for straightforwardness,

+    _Facing Death_."--_Standard._
+
+Captain Bayley's Heir: A Tale of the Gold Fields of California. By G.

+Service of Charles XII. of Sweden. By G. A. HENTY. With 8 page
+Illustrations by PAUL HARDY, and a Map. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant,
+olivine edges, 5_s._
+
+    In this story Sir Marmaduke Carstairs, who is a Jacobite, is
+    denounced as a plotter against the life of King William, and
+    although innocent of the charge, he has to flee from England. His
+    son Charlie, who goes with him to Sweden, is the hero of the tale.
+    This youth joins the foreign legion under Charles XII. of Sweden,
+    and takes a distinguished part in several famous campaigns against
+    the Russians and the Poles. Besides his stirring career as a
+    soldier, the narrative is full of the hero's personal adventures
+    in Poland, Sweden, Russia, and England. The narrative swings along
+    at a breathless pace, and holds the reader entranced to the end.
+
+Condemned as a Nihilist: A Story of Escape from Siberia. By G. A.
+HENTY. With 8 page Illustrations by WALTER PAGET. Crown 8vo, cloth
+elegant, olivine edges, 5_s._
+
+    "The best of this year's Henty. His narrative is more interesting
+    than many of the tales with which the public is familiar, of
+    escape from Siberia. Despite their superior claim to authenticity
+    these tales are without doubt no less fictitious than Mr. Henty's,
+    and he beats them hollow in the matter of sensations. The escape
+    of the hero and his faithful Tartar from the Samoyedes is quite
+    the high-water mark of this author's achievement."--_National
+    Observer._
+
+Orange and Green: A Tale of the Boyne and Limerick. By G. A. HENTY.
+With 8 full-page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. Crown 8vo, cloth
+elegant, olivine edges, 5_s._
+
+    "An extremely spirited story, based on the struggle in Ireland,
+    rendered memorable by the defence of 'Derry and the siege of
+    Limerick."--_Sat. Review._
+
+    "The narrative is free from the vice of prejudice, and ripples
+    with life as vivacious as if what is being described were really
+    passing before the eye.... Should be in the hands of every young
+    student of Irish history."--_Belfast News._

+
+    "Written with Homeric vigour and heroic inspiration. It is
+    graphic, picturesque, and dramatically effective ... shows us Mr.

+    breathless interest 'from cover to cover.'"--_Observer._

+olivine edges, 5_s._
+
+    "The story, from the critical moment of the killing of the sacred

+    skilfully constructed and full of exciting adventures. It is
+    admirably illustrated."--_Saturday Review._

+With 8 full-page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. Crown 8vo, cloth
+elegant, olivine edges, 5_s._
+
+    "Mr. Henty's historical novels for boys bid fair to supplement, on
+    their behalf, the historical labours of Sir Walter Scott in the
+    land of fiction."--_Standard._
+
+    "A story of very great interest for boys. In his own forcible
+    style the author has endeavoured to show that determination and
+    enthusiasm can accomplish marvellous results; and that courage is
+    generally accompanied by magnanimity and gentleness."--_Pall
+    Mall Gazette._
+

+    enforce the doctrine of courage and truth, mercy and loving

+    British lads will read _The Bravest of the Brave_ with

+
+    "The best feature of the book, apart from its scenes of adventure,
+    is its honest effort to do justice to the patriotism of the Afghan
+    people."--_Daily News._
+
+    "Not only a rousing story, replete with all the varied forms of
+    excitement of a campaign, but, what is still more useful, an
+    account of a territory and its inhabitants which must for a long
+    time possess a supreme interest for Englishmen, as being the key
+    to our Indian Empire."--_Glasgow Herald._

+
+    "A story that may justly be styled remarkable. Boys, in reading
+    it, will be surprised to find how Alfred persevered, through years

+The Clever Miss Follett. By J. K. H. DENNY. With 12 page Illustrations
+by GERTRUDE D. HAMMOND. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 6_s._
+
+    This is the story of a great fortune, and its attendant train of
+    misfortunes. The Folletts are a middle-class family who suddenly
+    find themselves in the possession of immense wealth, and the
+    interest is obtained by showing what effect this change has upon
+    their various characters. With fine subtlety the author depicts
+    the schemes, duplicities, worries, and disappointments which
+    follow the Folletts in their efforts to scramble into society and
+    make aristocratic marriages. Then, in the midst of their plans,
+    the wealth is taken from them, and the friendships which they have
+    made are shown in their true character. Altogether it is a bright,
+    clever, entertaining tale, with a rare distinction in its minute
+    portrayal of diverse character.

+
+The Wreck of "The Golden Fleece:" The story of a North Sea Fisher-boy.
+By ROBERT LEIGHTON. With 8 page Illustrations by FRANK BRANGWYN. Crown
+8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, 5_s._
+
+    In this story the interest is mainly secured by a description of
+    life on the wild North Sea,--the hero being a parson's son who is
+    apprenticed on board a Lowestoft fishing lugger. The lad has to
+    suffer many buffets from his shipmates, while the storms and
+    dangers which he braved on board the "North Star" are set forth
+    with minute knowledge and intense power. The wreck of "The Golden
+    Fleece" forms the climax to a thrilling series of desperate
+    mischances. From this point the narrative deals with a mysterious
+    highway robbery and murder; the trial of the accused fisherman;
+    his escape, and the mad chase after the criminal out upon the high
+    seas. Altogether, this is a wholesome tale with plenty of
+    sea-water in it, and a fine run of breezy adventure.

+
+    The hero of this story is Columbus himself; and a very

+    traced from boyhood onwards, but the narrative deals chiefly with
+    the great naval venture which Columbus conducted across the
+    Atlantic, and which resulted in the discovery of the American
+    continent. There were many dangers which threatened to wreck this
+    momentous enterprise, but these were all overcome by this
+    indomitable man, and his efforts were at last crowned with
+    success. It is a splendid story, possessing all the value of

+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at

+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+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

+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.

+     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
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     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.
