+§ 1. _On Stamp-Cases._
+
+
+Some American writer has said "the snakes in this district may be divided
+into one species--the venomous." The same principle applies here.
+Postage-Stamp-Cases may be divided into one species, the "Wonderland."
+Imitations of it will soon appear, no doubt: but they cannot include the
+two Pictorial Surprises, which are copyright.
+
+You don't see why I call them 'Surprises'? Well, take the Case in your
+left-hand, and regard it attentively. You see Alice nursing the Duchess's
+Baby? (An entirely new combination, by the way: it doesn't occur in the
+book.) Now, with your right thumb and forefinger, lay hold of the little
+book, and suddenly pull it out. _The Baby has turned into a Pig!_ If
+_that_ doesn't surprise you, why, I suppose you wouldn't be surprised if
+your own Mother-in-law suddenly turned into a Gyroscope!
+
+This Case is _not_ intended to carry about in your pocket. Far from it.
+People seldom want any other Stamps, on an emergency, than Penny-Stamps
+for Letters, Sixpenny-Stamps for Telegrams, and a bit of Stamp-edging for
+cut fingers (it makes capital sticking-plaster, and will stand three or
+four washings, cautiously conducted): and all these are easily carried in
+a purse or pocketbook. No, _this_ is meant to haunt your envelope-case, or
+wherever you keep your writing-materials. What made me invent it was the
+constantly wanting Stamps of other values, for foreign Letters, Parcel
+Post, &c., and finding it very bothersome to get at the kind I wanted in
+a hurry. Since I have possessed a "Wonderland Stamp Case", Life has been
+bright and peaceful, and I have used no other. I believe the Queen's
+laundress uses no other.
+
+Each of the pockets will hold 6 stamps, comfortably. I would recommend you
+to arrange the 6, before putting them in, something like a _bouquet_,
+making them lean to the right and to the left alternately: thus there will
+always be a free _corner_ to get hold of, so as to take them out, quickly
+and easily, one by one: otherwise you will find them apt to come out two
+or three at a time.
+
+According to _my_ experience, the 5_d._, 9_d._, and 1_s._ Stamps are
+hardly ever wanted, though I have constantly to replenish all the other
+pockets. If your experience agrees with mine, you may find it convenient
+to keep only a couple (say) of each of these 3 kinds, in the 1_s._
+pocket, and to fill the other 2 pockets with extra 1_d._ stamps.
+
+
+
+
+§ 2. _How to begin a Letter._
+
+
+If the Letter is to be in answer to another, begin by getting out that
+other letter and reading it through, in order to refresh your memory, as
+to what it is you have to answer, and as to your correspondent's _present
+address_ (otherwise you will be sending your letter to his regular address
+in _London_, though he has been careful in writing to give you his
+_Torquay_ address in full).
+
+Next, Address and Stamp the Envelope. "What! Before writing the _Letter_?"
+Most certainly. And I'll tell you what will happen if you don't. You will
+go on writing till the last moment, and just in the middle of the last
+sentence, you will become aware that 'time's up!' Then comes the hurried
+wind-up--the wildly-scrawled signature--the hastily-fastened envelope,
+which comes open in the post--the address, a mere hieroglyphic--the
+horrible discovery that you've forgotten to replenish your Stamp-Case--the
+frantic appeal, to every one in the house, to lend you a Stamp--the
+headlong rush to the Post Office, arriving, hot and gasping, just after
+the box has closed--and finally, a week afterwards, the return of the
+Letter, from the Dead-Letter Office, marked "address illegible"!
+
+Next, put your own address, _in full_, at the top of the note-sheet. It is
+an aggravating thing----I speak from bitter experience----when a friend,
+staying at some new address, heads his letter "Dover," simply, assuming
+that you can get the rest of the address from his previous letter, which
+perhaps you have destroyed.
+
+Next, put the date _in full_. It is another aggravating thing, when you
+wish, years afterwards, to arrange a series of letters, to find them dated
+"Feb. 17", "Aug. 2", without any year to guide you as to which comes
+first. And never, never, dear Madam (N.B. this remark is addressed to
+ladies _only_: no _man_ would ever do such a thing), put "Wednesday",
+simply, as the date!
+
+"_That way madness lies._"
+
+
+
+
+§ 3. _How to go on with a Letter._
+
+
+Here is a golden Rule to begin with. _Write legibly._ The average temper
+of the human race would be perceptibly sweetened, if everybody obeyed this
+Rule! A great deal of the bad writing in the world comes simply from
+writing _too quickly_. Of course you reply, "I do it to save _time_". A
+very good object, no doubt: but what right have you to do it at your
+friend's expense? Isn't _his_ time as valuable as yours? Years ago, I used
+to receive letters from a friend----and very interesting letters
+too----written in one of the most atrocious hands ever invented. It
+generally took me about a _week_ to read one of his letters! I used to
+carry it about in my pocket, and take it out at leisure times, to puzzle
+over the riddles which composed it----holding it in different positions,
+and at different distances, till at last the meaning of some hopeless
+scrawl would flash upon me, when I at once wrote down the English under
+it; and, when several had been thus guessed, the context would help one
+with the others, till at last the whole series of hieroglyphics was
+deciphered. If _all_ one's friends wrote like that, Life would be entirely
+spent in reading their letters!
+
+This Rule applies, specially, to names of people or places----and _most_
+specially to _foreign names_. I got a letter once, containing some Russian
+names, written in the same hasty scramble in which people often write
+"yours sincerely". The _context_, of course, didn't help in the least: and
+one spelling was just as likely as another, so far as _I_ knew: it was
+necessary to write and tell my friend that I couldn't read any of them!
+
+My second Rule is, don't fill _more_ than a page and a half with apologies
+for not having written sooner!
+
+The best subject, to _begin_ with, is your friend's last letter. Write
+with the letter open before you. Answer his questions, and make any
+remarks his letter suggests. _Then_ go on to what you want to say
+yourself. This arrangement is more courteous, and pleasanter for the
+reader, than to fill the letter with your own invaluable remarks, and then
+hastily answer your friend's questions in a postscript. Your friend is
+much more likely to enjoy your wit, _after_ his own anxiety for
+information has been satisfied.
+
+In referring to anything your friend has said in his letter, it is best to
+_quote the exact words_, and not to give a summary of them in _your_
+words. _A's_ impression, of what _B_ has said, expressed in _A's_ words,
+will never convey to _B_ the meaning of his own words.
+
+This is specially necessary when some point has arisen as to which the two
+correspondents do not quite agree. There ought to be no opening for such
+writing as "You are quite mistaken in thinking I said so-and-so. It was
+not in the least my meaning, &c., &c.", which tends to make a
+correspondence last for a lifetime.
+
+A few more Rules may fitly be given here, for correspondence that has
+unfortunately become _controversial_.
+
+One is, _don't repeat yourself_. When once you have said your say, fully
+and clearly, on a certain point, and have failed to convince your friend,
+_drop that subject_: to repeat your arguments, all over again, will simply
+lead to his doing the same; and so you will go on, like a Circulating
+Decimal. _Did you ever know a Circulating Decimal come to an end?_
+
+Another Rule is, when you have written a letter that you feel may possibly
+irritate your friend, however necessary you may have felt it to so express
+yourself, _put it aside till the next day_. Then read it over again, and
+fancy it addressed to yourself. This will often lead to your writing it
+all over again, taking out a lot of the vinegar and pepper, and putting in
+honey instead, and thus making a _much_ more palatable dish of it! If,
+when you have done your best to write inoffensively, you still feel that
+it will probably lead to further controversy, _keep a copy of it_. There
+is very little use, months afterwards, in pleading "I am almost sure I
+never expressed myself as you say: to the best of my recollection I said
+so-and-so". _Far_ better to be able to write "I did _not_ express myself
+so: these are the words I used."
+
+My fifth Rule is, if your friend makes a severe remark, either leave it
+unnoticed, or make your reply distinctly _less_ severe: and if he makes a
+friendly remark, tending towards 'making up' the little difference that
+has arisen between you, let your reply be distinctly _more_ friendly. If,
+in picking a quarrel, each party declined to go more than _three-eighths_
+of the way, and if, in making friends, each was ready to go _five-eighths_
+of the way--why, there would be more reconciliations than quarrels! Which
+is like the Irishman's remonstrance to his gad-about daughter--"Shure,
+you're _always_ goin' out! You go out _three_ times, for _wanst_ that you
+come in!"
+
+My sixth Rule (and my last remark about controversial correspondence) is,
+_don't try to have the last word_! How many a controversy would be nipped
+in the bud, if each was anxious to let the _other_ have the last word!
+Never mind how telling a rejoinder you leave unuttered: never mind your
+friend's supposing that you are silent from lack of anything to say: let
+the thing drop, as soon as it is possible without discourtesy: remember
+'speech is silvern, but silence is golden'! (N.B.--If you are a gentleman,
+and your friend a lady, this Rule is superfluous: _you won't get the last
+word_!)
+
+My seventh Rule is, if it should ever occur to you to write, jestingly, in
+_dispraise_ of your friend, be sure you exaggerate enough to make the
+jesting _obvious_: a word spoken in _jest_, but taken as _earnest_, may
+lead to very serious consequences. I have known it to lead to the
+breaking-off of a friendship. Suppose, for instance, you wish to remind
+your friend of a sovereign you have lent him, which he has forgotten to
+repay--you might quite _mean_ the words "I mention it, as you seem to have
+a conveniently bad memory for debts", in jest: yet there would be nothing
+to wonder at if he took offence at that way of putting it. But, suppose
+you wrote "Long observation of your career, as a pickpocket and a burglar,
+has convinced me that my one lingering hope, for recovering that sovereign
+I lent you, is to say 'Pay up, or I'll summons yer!'" he would indeed be a
+matter-of-fact friend if he took _that_ as seriously meant!
+
+My eighth Rule. When you say, in your letter, "I enclose cheque for £5",
+or "I enclose John's letter for you to see", leave off writing for a
+moment--go and get the document referred to--and _put it into the
+envelope_. Otherwise, you are pretty certain to find it lying about,
+_after the Post has gone_!
+
+My ninth Rule. When you get to the end of a note-sheet, and find you have
+more to say, take another piece of paper--a whole sheet, or a scrap, as
+the case may demand: but, whatever you do, _don't cross_! Remember the old
+proverb '_Cross-writing makes cross reading_'. "The _old_ proverb?" you
+say, enquiringly. "_How_ old?" Well, not so _very_ ancient, I must
+confess. In fact, I'm afraid I invented it while writing this paragraph!
+Still, you know, 'old' is a _comparative_ term. I think you would be
+_quite_ justified in addressing a chicken, just out of the shell, as "Old
+boy!", _when compared_ with another chicken, that was only half-out!
+
+
+
+
+§ 4. _How to end a Letter._
+
+
+If doubtful whether to end with 'yours faithfully', or 'yours truly', or
+'yours most truly', &c. (there are at least a dozen varieties, before you
+reach 'yours affectionately'), refer to your correspondent's last letter,
+and make your winding-up _at least as friendly as his_; in fact, even if a
+shade _more_ friendly, it will do no harm!
+
+A Postscript is a very useful invention: but it is _not_ meant (as so many
+ladies suppose) to contain the real _gist_ of the letter: it serves rather
+to throw into the shade any little matter we do _not_ wish to make a fuss
+about. For example, your friend had promised to execute a commission for
+you in town, but forgot it, thereby putting you to great inconvenience:
+and he now writes to apologize for his negligence. It would be cruel, and
+needlessly crushing, to make it the main subject of your reply. How much
+more gracefully it comes in thus! "P.S. Don't distress yourself any more
+about having omitted that little matter in town. I won't deny that it
+_did_ put my plans out a little, at the time: but it's all right now. I
+often forget things, myself: and 'those who live in glass-houses, mustn't
+throw stones', you know!"
+
+When you take your letters to the Post, _carry them in your hand_. If you
+put them in your pocket you will take a long country-walk (I speak from
+experience), passing the Post-Office _twice_, going and returning, and,
+when you get home, will find them _still_ in your pocket.
+
+
+
+
+§ 5. _On registering Correspondence._
+
+
+Let me recommend you to keep a record of Letters Received and Sent. I have
+kept one for many years, and have found it of the greatest possible
+service, in many ways: it secures my _answering_ Letters, however long
+they have to wait; it enables me to refer, for my own guidance, to the
+details of previous correspondence, though the actual Letters may have
+been destroyed long ago; and, most valuable feature of all, if any
+difficulty arises, years afterwards, in connection with a half-forgotten
+correspondence, it enables me to say, with confidence, "I did _not_ tell
+you that he was 'an _invaluable_ servant in _every_ way', and that you
+_couldn't_ 'trust him too much'. I have a _précis_ of my letter. What I
+said was 'he is a _valuable_ servant in _many_ ways, but _don't_ trust him
+too much'. So, if he's cheated you, you really must not hold _me_
+responsible for it!"
+
+I will now give you a few simple Rules for making, and keeping, a
+Letter-Register.
+
+Get a blank book, containing (say) 200 leaves, about 4 inches wide and 7
+high. It should be _well_ fastened into its cover, as it will have to be
+opened and shut hundreds of times. Have a line ruled, in red ink, down
+each margin of every page, an inch off the edge (the margin should be wide
+enough to contain a number of 5 digits, easily: _I_ manage with a 3/4 inch
+margin: but, unless you write very small you will find an inch more
+comfortable).
+
+Write a _précis_ of each Letter, received or sent, in chronological
+order. Let the entry of a 'received' Letter reach from the left-hand edge
+to the right-hand marginal line; and the entry of a 'sent' Letter from the
+left-hand marginal line to the right-hand edge. Thus the two kinds will be
+quite distinct, and you can easily hunt through the 'received' Letters by
+themselves, without being bothered with the 'sent' Letters; and _vice
+versâ_.
+
+Use the _right-hand_ pages only: and, when you come to the end of the
+book, turn it upside-down, and begin at the other end, still using
+right-hand pages. You will find this much more comfortable than using
+left-hand pages.
+
+You will find it convenient to write, at the top of every sheet of a
+'received' Letter, its Register-Number in full.
+
+I will now give a few (ideal) specimen pages of my Letter-Register, and
+make a few remarks on them: after which I think you will find it easy
+enough to manage one for yourself.

+
+I begin each page by putting, at the top left-hand corner, the next
+entry-number I am going to use, _in full_ (the last 3 digits of each
+entry-number are enough afterwards); and I put the date of the year, at
+the top, in the centre.
+
+I begin each entry with the last 3 digits of the entry-number, enclosed in
+an oval (this is difficult to reproduce in print, so I have put
+round-parentheses here). Then, for the _first_ entry in each page, I put
+the day of the month and the day of the week: afterwards, 'do.' is enough
+for the month-day, till it changes: I do not repeat the week-day.
+
+Next, if the entry is _not_ a letter, I put a symbol for 'parcel' (see
+Nos. 243, 245) or 'telegram' (see Nos. 230, 231) as the case may be.
+
+Next, the name of the person, underlined (indicated here by italics).
+
+If an entry needs special further attention, I put [____ at the end: and,
+when it has been attended to, I fill in the appropriate symbol, e.g. in
+No. 218, it showed that the bill had to be _paid_; in No. 222, that an
+answer was really _needed_ (the '×' means 'attended to'); in No. 234, that
+I owed the old lady a visit; in No. 235, that the item had to be entered
+in my account book; in No. 236, that I must not forget to write; in No.
+239, that the address had to be entered in my address-book; in No. 245,
+that the book had to be returned.
+
+I give each entry the space of 2 lines, whether it fills them or not, in
+order to have room for references. And, at the foot of each page I leave 2
+or 3 lines _blank_ (often useful afterwards for entering omitted Letters)
+and miss one or 2 numbers before I begin the next page.
+
+At any odd moments of leisure, I 'make up' the entry-book, in various
+ways, as follows:--
+
+(1) I draw a _second_ line, at the right-hand end of the 'received'
+entries, and at the left-hand end of the 'sent' entries. This I usually do
+pretty well 'up to date'. In my Register the first line is _red_, the
+second _blue_: here I distinguish them by making the first thin, and the
+second _thick_.
+
+(2) Beginning with the last entry, and going backwards, I read over the
+names till I recognise one as having occurred already: I then link the two
+entries together, by giving the one, that comes first in chronological
+order, a 'foot-reference' (see Nos. 217, 225). I do not keep this
+'up-to-date', but leave it till there are 4 or 5 pages to be done. I work
+back till I come among entries that are all supplied with
+'foot-references', when I once more glance through the last few pages, to
+see if there are any entries not yet supplied with head-references:
+_their_ predecessors may need a special search. If an entry is connected,
+in subject, with another under a different name, I link them by
+cross-references, distinguished from the head- and foot-references by
+being written _further from the marginal line_ (see No. 229). When 2
+consecutive entries have the same name, and are both of the same kind
+(i.e. both 'received' or both 'sent') I bracket them (see Nos. 242, 243);
+if of different kinds, I link them with the symbol used for Nos. 219, 220.
+
+(3) Beginning at the earliest entry not yet done with, and going forwards,
+I cross out every entry that has got a head- and foot-reference, and is
+done with, by continuing the extra line _through_ it (see Nos. 221, 223,
+225). Thus, wherever a _break_ occurs in this extra line, it shows there
+is some matter still needing attention. I do not keep this anything like
+'up to date', but leave it till there are 30 or 40 pages to look through
+at a time. When the first page in the volume is thus completely crossed
+out, I put a mark at the foot of the page to indicate this; and so with
+pages 2, 3, &c. Hence, whenever I do this part of the 'making up', I need
+not begin at the beginning of the volume, but only at the _earliest page
+that has not got this mark_.
+
+All this looks very complicated, when stated at full length: but you will
+find it perfectly simple, when you have had a little practice, and will
+come to regard the 'making-up' as a pleasant occupation for a rainy day,
+or at any time that you feel disinclined for more severe mental work. In
+the Game of Whist, Hoyle gives us one golden Rule, "When in doubt, win the
+trick"--I find that Rule admirable for real life: when in doubt what to
+do, I 'make-up' my Letter-Register!

+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free

+(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
+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.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+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
+     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.

+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.
