But a great many +thoughts came into her little head, and she was in a great hurry to get +up. + +Nurse said it was not time yet, and that she was very sleepy; but when +the little girl had climbed into her bed, and given her a great many +soft kisses, and told her how much she wanted to take a walk before +breakfast, the kind nursey first rubbed her eyes, then opened them, and +then got out of bed. + +While she was dressing, Rosy began to put on her own shoes and stockings +and some of her clothes; for she had already learnt to do a great deal +for herself. + +She peeped out of window to look for the birds, but for some time she +could not see any. + +Rosy thought this very strange, for she remembered how she used to hear +the dear little birdies sing when she had been in the country in +England; but nurse could not explain the puzzle; so Rosy settled that it +was to be a question for her papa. Of course he would know; he always +knew everything. + +When they were quite ready, nurse said,-- + +"Now, my darling, if you like, we will go and get your milk for +breakfast; for I know where it is to be had, and nice, new, good milk I +hope it may be, to make my little Trotty very fat." + +"Is not Rosy fat now?" asked the little girl, in surprise, and feeling +first her plump cheeks and then her round arms with her stumpy little +fingers. + +"O, pretty well," said nurse laughing, "but you may be fatter yet, and I +like fat little girls." + +They had not to walk far before they came to the place where the milk +was sold. It was called a farm; and nurse took Rosy in, and said she +should see the dairy if the good woman would let her. + +Rosy did not know what a dairy meant; but she supposed that it was +something curious, and tripped merrily along, wondering what she should +see, till they came to a room which had a floor made of red tiles, on +which stood at least ten or twelve large open bowls full of new milk. + +Now Rosy happened to be very fond of milk; and as she was just then +quite ready for her breakfast, she was very pleased to have her mug +filled,--the mug which she had brought on purpose, as nurse told +her,--and then take a good drink. + +"Ah, nurse, how good it is!" she cried; "but what is all this sticking +to my lips? It is not white like our milk. See, there is something on +the top of it!" and she held out her mug to show her. + +"Ah, that's cream, good cream. We did not get milk like this in Paris," +said nurse; "and I'm sure we don't in London. There's no water here, is +there, madame?" + +But madame did not understand English; so nurse was obliged, by looking +very pleased, to make her see that she thought her milk very good. + +"But it's very bad of the other people to put water in my milk," said +Rosy, frowning. "I shall ask my papa to scold them when we go home; and +I shall take a great mugful of this nice milk to show my grandmamma." + +"Well, now say good by prettily in French, as your papa teaches you," +said nurse, "and then we'll go home, and I dare say we shall find some +more milk there." + +"Adieu, madame," said the little girl, and off she trotted again, as +ready to go as she had been to come. + +They say "madame" to every one in France, you know, and not to rich +ladies only. + +Now there are beautiful hills all round the back of Cannes, and a little +way up one of these was the house where Rosy was going to live. She did +so like running up and down hills! and there were two or three little +ones between the farm and this house, which was called a villa. + +When she got on to the top of one, she cried out,-- + +"Ah, there's the sea, I do declare! and there's a boat on it with a +white sail! Shall we go in a boat some day?" + +"I don't know," said nurse, "you must ask your mamma; but you don't want +to be sick, do you?" + +"I won't be sick," cried the little girl. "Rosy is never sick in a +beau'ful boat like that. I'll ask my mamma," and she bustled on. + +"Stay, stay!" cried nurse, "you're going too far, my pet; this is the +way; look, who stands up there?" + +Rosy looked up, and there was the villa with its green blinds high up +over her head; and some one stood outside the door calling her by name. + +O, what a number of steps there were for those little legs to climb +before she reached her papa! + +They went up by the side of a garden, which was itself like a lot of +wide steps, and on each step there was a row of vines, not trained +against a wall as we train our vines in England, but growing on the +ground like bean plants. + +Rosy saw lots of such nice grapes that her little mouth quite watered, +and she would have liked to have stopped to pick some; but then she knew +that would be stealing, because they were not hers. And I hope that Rosy +would not have stolen even if nurse had not been following her, or her +papa watching her. + +She got the grapes, too, without picking them; for when she had climbed +up to the very top, there was papa waiting for her with a beautiful +bunch in his hand. And he said,-- + +"Come in, Rosy; mamma wants her breakfast very badly. See, mamma, what a +pair of roses your little girl has been getting already!" + +Rosy knew very well what that meant, for she rubbed her cheeks with her +little fat hands, and then tumbled her merry little head about her +mamma's lap to "roll the roses off," as she said. + +But that little head was too full of thoughts to stay there long. + +There was so much to tell and to talk about, and that dairy took a long +time to describe. Then when papa asked if she had seen the dear cows +that gave the milk, she thought that that would be a capital little +jaunt for to-morrow, and clapped her hands with glee. + +"So you are going to find some new pets, Rosy," he said, "to do instead +of Mr. Tommy and the kittens?" + +"Ah, papa, but there are no dickies here--I mean, hardly any," she +answered. "We looked so for the birdies all, all the time; but only two +came, and went away again directly." + +"We must go out and see the reason of that," said papa, smiling,--"you +and I, Rosy, directly after breakfast. We must go and tell the dear +birds that Rosy has come." + +[Illustration] + + + + +A WALK AND A DRIVE. + + +ROSY made such haste to finish her bread and milk, that she was ready to +go out before any one else had done breakfast. But her papa was not long +before he was ready too, and she was soon tripping along by his side. + +They went only a little way up the road, and then they came to a field, +on one side of which were some high bushes. Rosy knew where to look for +birds, and peeped very anxiously amidst the boughs till she saw +something hopping. Then she pulled her papa's hand, and let him know +that she wanted him to stoop down and look too. + +He looked, and then whispered,-- + +"Yes, Rosy. There is a pretty little robin; let us go round the other +side and see if we can make him come out with these crumbs which I have +brought with me." + +So they went softly to the gate, and were just going in, when papa +said,-- + +"Stop, Rosy; look what that man has got in his hand." + +Then she looked, and saw a man with a very long gun and two dogs. + +"What is he going to do, papa?" asked the little girl, drawing back; +"will he shoot us if we go in?" + +"O, no, Rosy; don't be afraid. It is the robin that he wants to shoot +and not us. So now you see how it is that the dicky-birds don't sing +much at Cannes. It is because they shoot so many of them." + +Poor little Rosy! She loved so much to watch the little birds and hear +them sing! And when she thought of this dear robin being shot quite +dead, and that perhaps there was a nest somewhere with little ones who +would have no mamma, she began to cry, and to call the man "a cruel +fellow." + +She was not much comforted by being told that such little birds were +eaten there; so that if the man could shoot one, he would get some money +for it which might buy bread for his little ones. But she was rather +glad to hear that the little robins must be able by that time of year to +take care of themselves, and had left the nest some time; and much more +pleased, when, soon after, she saw the dear robin fly right away, so +that the man with the gun was not likely to shoot that one at any rate. + +Then papa said, "I shouldn't wonder if mamma would like to go out this +morning. Shall we go back and see?" + +[Illustration: "Rosy was very much pleased when soon after she saw the +robin fly right away."] + +Rosy thought that would be very nice; and then her papa lifted up his +little girl, and showed her all the beautiful hills that were behind +them. There were some that had peaked tops, and some rather roundish; +and just in one place she could see some hills a very long way off, that +seemed to climb right up into the sky and were all white on the top. He +told her that those hills were called mountains, because they were so +very high,--a great deal too high for Rosy to walk up, and that the +white stuff which she saw was snow. + +"We don't have snow when it is warm in England, Rosy, do we?" said +papa, "nor yet here, but up there, you see, it is so cold that the snow +never melts. Those are called 'the snow Alps.'" + +Rosy had nearly forgotten the poor birds now, because there were so many +other things to think about. She saw some poppies a little way off, and +then some blue flowers; and they were so pretty that she was quite +obliged to stop a good many times to pick some for dear mamma. The wind +was very high too, and it blew little Rosy's hat right off, so that papa +and she had both to run after it. + +Mamma was ready for a walk when they got in, but she staid to put +Rosy's flowers in water; and they looked very gay and pretty. Nurse and +every one admired them; and Rosy said that she was not a bit tired, and +was quite sure that she could go for another long, long walk. + +But papa said that though Rosy might be a little horse, her mamma was +not, and that it was a long way to the town and to the shops where she +wanted to go; so he would go and get a carriage for them. + +Now, though Rosy certainly was very tired of trains, she found a basket +pony-carriage a very different thing, and enjoyed her ride so much that +she was obliged to change pretty often from her mamma's lap to her +papa's and back again, just because she was too happy to sit still. + +The ponies went along merrily too, as if they were nearly as happy. They +had bells on their necks which jingled delightfully, and every now and +then they met a carriage, or even a cart, the horses of which had bells +too. So they had plenty of music. + +They went up one hill and down another, and the ponies ran so fast, and +turned round the corners of the roads so quickly, that sometimes mamma +was afraid that the carriage would be upset, and that they would all be +"tipped out in a heap." Rosy thought it would be good fun if they were. +She often rolled about herself, like a little ball, without hurting +herself; and she thought that papa and mamma would only get a little +dusty, and that it would be a nice little job for her to brush the dust +off when she got home. + +Just then a number of boys and girls came along the road to meet them, +and Rosy saw that all the little ones wore caps, not hats or bonnets. +There was one baby with large black eyes, whom she would have liked to +kiss and hug. It was so fat and pretty. But it was dressed in a way that +she had never seen any baby dressed before, for its feet and legs were +put into a sort of large bag, so that it could not kick like other +children; and Rosy wondered how it could laugh so merrily. + +When the carriage came near this little party the man did not hold the +reins of his horses tight as an English coachman would have done. He +only screamed out to the children, "Gare! gare!" which Rosy's papa told +her meant "Get out of the way." + +And when they were all past there came next a great wagon, piled up with +the trunks of trees. The horses which drew this had no bells; but they +had a funny sort of post sticking up high between their ears, with lots +of things hanging on to it. They had also three pink tassels hanging on +their faces, one in front and one on each side. These tassels shook as +they went along, and looked so pretty that Rosy thought to herself that +if ever she had a toy horse again she would ask nurse to make some +little tassels for it just like them. Her papa had told her, too, that +they were to keep off the flies, which teased the poor horses very often +dreadfully. And of course Rosy would not like her horse to be teased. + +But the carriage went on while she was thinking this; and soon they saw +four old women coming along the road with large baskets, full of some +green stuff, on their heads. The little girl did not say anything as +they went by, but she looked very particularly to see how they were +dressed. + +Now I must tell you why she did this. + +In the first place, then, she had never seen any old women a bit like +them before. + +They walked all in a row with their baskets on their heads, and with +their hands stuck into their sides, and they talked very fast as they +came along. On their heads they wore very, very large hats, with small +crowns. Rosy had never seen such hats before, and she heard her mamma +say that she had never seen them either. Under these great hats they had +nice white caps, with colored handkerchiefs over them, which hung down +behind. They had, besides, other colored handkerchiefs over their +shoulders, and two of them had red gowns. + +Now Rosy had had a present given her in Paris. It was a piece of French +money, worth ten English pennies; and with this money she had bought ten +Dutch dolls, which nursey was going to dress for her. At first she +meant them to make an English school; but now that she had seen so many +funny people she thought she would like her dolls to be dressed like the +people in Cannes, because then they would just show her dear grandmamma +how very nice they looked, and how very different to English people. + +She was very quiet for a little while, because she was making this grand +plan; but they soon turned out of the narrow street, and all at once she +saw the sea again. + +They had come now to what was called the "port," and there were all the +great ships which had come home lately, and were waiting to go out +again,--one, two, three, four, five, six, all in a row, quite quiet, and +"taking their naps," as Rosy's papa said, "after all their hard work." + +He lifted Rosy out first, and said that they would go and look at them, +while mamma went into the shops. + +Rosy was not quite sure whether she was pleased at that, because +sometimes her mamma bought her very nice things, such as toys, or +sugar-plums, or cakes, when she took her out shopping. But they soon +found plenty to look at, and some funny men with blue coats and cocked +hats amused the little girl very much. Her papa wondered why she looked +at them so often; but then he did not know Rosy's grand scheme, and how +she was thinking of asking nurse to dress one doll just like them. She +kept this little plan quite a secret till she got back to her nurse. + +It was half the fun to have a secret. + +[Illustration] + + + + +ROSY'S VISIT TO THE COWS. + + +THE dear, good nursey did not forget about the cows next morning, for +when Rosy opened her little blue peepers there she was half dressed. + +Rosy jumped up in a minute, crying out,-- + +"The cows! the cows! Shall we go and see them?" + +"If you will make great haste," said the nurse; "but it is getting +late." + +Rosy never got dressed more quickly. She did not much like even to wait +for her morning splash; and while her curls were being combed, she kept +saying, "Won't it do, nurse?" and then rather hindering by holding up +her little face for a kiss. + +As soon as she was quite ready she bustled off, and got down stairs +first. Whom should she see there but papa himself, with his hat on? + +He said that he would take her to see the cows, and even carry her a +little way if she got tired. + +How very kind that was! But would such a great girl as Rosy get tired? + +O, dear, no; at least, so she said, for Rosy did not like to be thought +a baby now, though somehow or other it did sometimes happens that after +a long walk her feet would ache a little bit, and then papa's shoulder +made a very comfortable seat. + +She was half afraid now that nursey might be sorry not to see the cows, +and ran back to whisper that if she liked she might dress one of the +dollies instead. That was meant for a treat, you know; and nursey +laughed, and said,-- + +"Perhaps, we shall see;" and gave her another kiss. + +Then Rosy showed her papa where the farm was; and when they came near, +they saw the farmer's wife standing at the door, as if she expected her +little visitor. + +Rosy did not forget to say,-- + +"Bon jour, madame," which means "Good morning" in English, you know. + +Papa asked in French if they could see the cows, and the good woman was +kind enough to take them round to the water where they were drinking. + +There was a black one, and a black and white one, and a red one, and +another with red spots. We cannot find room for them all in the +picture; but you will see the one which was drinking. + +Rosy admired them very much, and wanted to go as near as she could that +she might see them well; for although they were so very big and had such +long legs, she was not a bit afraid of them. She never was afraid of +anything when her papa was by, because he was so very strong--stronger +than all the world she thought. + +"Who made the cows, Rosy?" asked her papa, when she had looked at them a +little while. + +"God," said Rosy, softly; "God made everything, didn't he, papa? Why did +he make the cows?" she asked, after thinking a minute. + +"To give us good milk, such as you had yesterday, Rosy, and to make you +and other little girls and boys fat and strong. Was not that very good +of God!" + +"Yes, papa," said Rosy, again. + +"Then will you remember that, my little one, when you say, by and by, 'I +thank God for my nice bread and milk'?" + +Rosy said she would, and then she asked,-- + +"And do the pretty cows give us coffee, too, papa?" + +[Illustration: "And do the pretty cows give us coffee, too, papa."] + +"No, no, my silly little Rosy; don't you recollect that we buy that at +the grocer's shop? We must go some day and ask him to let you see it +ground up to powder. The coffee comes from a long, long way off. It +grows on a tree in a very hot country, and looks like little berries +till they put it into a mill and turn a handle. Then the berries are +ground up to powder, and we put some boiling water over the powder, and +when it gets cool we drink it. Haven't you seen mamma pour it out into +the cup and put some sugar and milk in for herself and papa?" + +Rosy remembered now; but she had not taken much notice before, because +she did not like coffee at all. She liked her nice milk much better; and +so when she went away with her papa she called out,-- + +"Good by, dear cowies, and thank you very much for my nice milk." + +Rosy wanted to walk round the other side where there was a very gentle, +kind-looking cow, that was not in the water, because she thought that +she would like to stroke her; but her papa told her to look at those two +great horns. And he said that cows did not like little girls to take +liberties with them unless they knew them, and that this cow did not +know her, and might think her very saucy, and poke out her horns to +teach her to keep a proper distance. If she did, he said he thought Rosy +would not like that poke, for it might hurt her, so he advised her to +keep quite out of the good cow's way. + +Then she stood at a little distance to watch her drinking, and Rosy's +papa said,-- + +"See how she enjoys it! Cows like to come here sometimes, like little +girls; but French cows don't get out of their houses so often as English +ones." + +"Don't they, papa?" said Rosy. "Then I should think they must often wish +to go to England." + +Papa laughed, and said,-- + +"Perhaps they would wish it if they knew how their English cousins enjoy +themselves; but I think they look pretty happy; don't you, Rosy?" + +Rosy said,-- + +"Yes, papa; but how funnily the cow drinks! She puts her head into the +water." + +"And you think that if she were a polite cow she would not think of +doing such a vulgar thing, but would wait till they gave her a glass; +eh, Rosy?" + +"She hasn't got any hands, papa," cried Rosy, "so she couldn't, I +'spose." + +"No," said papa; "so I think that we must excuse and forgive the poor +thing, until Rosy can teach her a better plan." + +And Rosy trotted home by his side, thinking how much she should like to +try drinking after the cow's fashion. + +[Illustration] + + + + +ROSY'S VISIT TO THE HENS. + + +ROSY was very hungry when she got home to breakfast, for the fresh +morning air had given her an appetite. + +Her mamma took off her hat and her little jacket, and said,-- + +"So, Rosy, you have brought me two more roses." + +"But my roses don't smell, mamma," said Rosy, laughing and patting her +own fat cheeks, as she always did when mamma said that. Then she made +haste to scramble up on to her little chair, and pull her nice basin of +bread and milk close to her. She looked at her papa after she had said +her little grace, and said,-- + +"I didn't forget, papa." + +Then she began to eat away as if she liked it very much; and when she +had eaten a little, her mamma said,-- + +"Look here, Rosy." + +And Rosy turned round and saw a whole spoonful of egg waiting for her to +eat it. Mamma was holding it for her; and it looked so yellow and so +delicious! + +Rosy opened her mouth, but she did not take it all in at once. It was +too good for that, and she thought it better to make it last a little. + +But some of the yellow would stick on Rosy's lips; so mamma wiped it +off, and then Rosy put her arms round her neck and kissed her, and +said,-- + +"So nice, dear mamma." + +Then mamma said,-- + +"At the end of the garden, Rosy, there lives the good hen that gave us +this nice egg, and a great many other hens, and very fine cocks +too,--the cocks that you heard crowing this morning. Shall we go and see +them after breakfast?" + +"O, yes, yes, yes!" cried Rosy, clapping her hands, "that will be fun. +I've almost done mine;" and the little girl made great haste to finish +her bread and milk; but mamma said,-- + +"Ah, but not quite directly. I've not done my breakfast. If you have +done yours, you had better go and see what nurse is doing, and ask her +to get ready to come and hear papa read about Daniel in the lions' den." + +Rosy did not mind waiting for that, for she was never tired of hearing +that story. I dare say that some of her young friends know it too. + +Her mamma got ready soon after, and they both went round to a part of +the garden which Rosy had not seen before. + +There they saw that one piece was railed off from all the rest, and that +a hen-house was inside it. + +Rosy's mamma opened a gate in the railing, and took her little girl into +the enclosure amongst all the cocks and hens. + +The cocks did not seem much to like this, and they both made a great +crowing, and then marched off into the farthest corner, with a lot of +hens after them. + +Rosy said,-- + +"O, mamma, show them the nice seed, and then they won't go away!" + +But her mamma answered,-- + +"Not yet, Rosy; let us go first and look at these good ladies that are +walking about inside their house. We can have a good look at them before +they get away. See, they can't get out if we stand at the door." + +"Ah, look at these beauties, all over speckly feathers," cried Rosy, as +she ran forward to catch one. + +She put out her little arms to seize her; but the hen seemed to think +this a great liberty from so small a child, and instead of running away, +she turned and opened her beak in a very angry manner. + +"Take care, Rosy," said her mamma, as the little girl drew back half +frightened. "This hen seems rather a fierce lady. I will give her some +seed to persuade her to be quiet. Perhaps she has got something there +that she does not choose us to see. I wonder what it can be." + +Rosy took one more peep, and then called out,-- + +"O, mamma, mamma, some little chickens, I do declare! If you stoop down +you can see them running about behind her,--such dear, pretty, soft +little creatures! Do get me one to play with." + +"Little chickens!" said mamma; "why, they must have come out of their +shells very late in the year if they are little ones still, and I am +afraid their mother won't let me touch them." + +"Do chickens come out of shells?" said Rosy, making very large eyes, and +looking quite puzzled. + +"Yes, Rosy, out of just such shells as our eggs had this morning; and if +in the summer we had given this good hen five or six of her own eggs in +this little house of hers, she would have sat upon them, and spread her +wings over them to keep them warm; and there she would have staid so +patiently all day long, and day after day, until the dear little +chickens were ready to come too." + +"And wouldn't the hen get tired?" said Rosy. "I shouldn't like to stay +still so long." + +"No, I don't think you would," said her mamma, chucking her little girl +under the chin; "but then, you see, you are like the little chickens, +and not like the mamma hen. I think you will find that she has not got +tired even yet, for if you peep down again you will see that she is +keeping two of the little chickens warm under her even now. Little +chickens are like little babies, and they very soon get cold, so they +like keeping very close to their mammas." + +"Are the little chickens naughty sometimes?" asked Rosy. + +[Illustration: "If you stoop down you will see that she is keeping two +of the little chickens warm under her."] + +"Well, I don't know, Rosy; but I know that I have often thought it very +pretty to see how they will all run to their mother when the great hen +clucks for them." + +"O, mamma, I should _so_ like to hear her cluck," cried Rosy, clapping +her hands. + +"Well, Rosy, you go a little way off, and keep quite quiet; and then I +will see if I can tempt the good lady out of her nest with some of this +nice seed." + +So Rosy ran away, and her mamma stepped back a few paces and threw down +some of the seed. The hen saw it directly, and looked for an instant as +if she would like some very much; and she did not wait long, but soon +stepped out of her house, and began picking up the seed. + +Just at that moment a cat came creeping along the outside of the paling, +and watching to see if she could pounce on one of the little chickens. +The hen saw the cat, and began to stretch out her neck very fiercely, as +if she meant to fly at its eyes, and then began to cluck for her little +ones, which all came running to her as fast as their legs would carry +them. + +Rosy's little eyes sparkled with pleasure, and she went up and put her +hand into her mamma's, and said softly,-- + +"Wasn't it nice?" + +"Yes, Rosy," said her mamma, "and I hope that my little chicken will +always run to my side as quickly as these did to their mother. You see +she knew that they were in danger when they didn't themselves; and so do +I sometimes when my Rosy thinks she is quite safe." + +[Illustration] + + * * * * * + + + +Transcriber's Notes: + +Obvious punctuation errors repaired. + +Page 7, "the" changed to "she" (so that she) + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of A Walk and a Drive., by Thomas Miller + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK A WALK AND A DRIVE. *** + +***** This file should be named 38661.txt or 38661.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + http://www.gutenberg.org/3/8/6/6/38661/ + +Produced by Emmy, Marilynda Fraser-Cunliffe and the Online +Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This +file was produced from images generously made available +by the University of Florida Digital Collections.) + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

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 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. |
