+<h2>WOODBINE ARBOR;</h2>
+<h3>OR THE</h3>
+<h2>LITTLE GARDENERS.</h2>
+
+<p>Let me tell you, my dear young
+reader, about a happy little family of
+three brothers and three sisters, who
+lived in a pleasant home, not far from
+the great city of New-York. Their
+father, Mr. Howard, was a wealthy
+merchant, and had his store in the
+city, to which he usually rode early
+in the morning, directly after breakfast,
+and returned home in season to
+take tea with his family. He had
+six children, the little folks whom I
+am now going to tell you about.</p>
+
+<p>The girls were named Maria,
+Elizabeth, and Harriet. The boys
+were Henry, Charles, and John.&mdash;Henry
+was the oldest, then Charles,
+Maria, John, Elizabeth, and Harriet.</p>
+
+<p>Their home was a beautiful country-seat,
+situated not far from the
+ <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4">[Pg 4]</a></span>
+East river, with fine old shade trees
+in front of it. In the rear was a very
+large garden, laid out with great
+neatness and taste, and well stocked
+with fruits and flowers. Then there
+were walks and borders, and summer-houses,
+and arbors, and almost
+every thing which could render it a
+delightful place.</p>
+
+<p>One portion of his grounds Mr.
+Howard had laid out for a garden
+for his children. This was to be their
+own, and in it they were to dig, and
+hoe, and rake, and plant, and transplant,
+and water, just as they pleased,
+so long as they were attentive to their
+lessons, obedient to their parents, and
+kind to each other. When any of
+them misbehaved,&mdash;which was very
+seldom,&mdash;that child was forbidden to
+visit the garden for one or two days,
+or a week, according to the nature
+of its offence.</p>

+<p>&nbsp;</p>
+
+<p>Mr. and Mrs. Howard were both
+anxious that their children should
+grow up, not only good and intelligent,
+ <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">[Pg 6]</a></span>
+but that they should acquire
+active and industrious habits; they
+therefore encouraged them all, girls
+as well as boys, to pass their play-hours
+in the healthy and delightful
+employment of gardening.</p>
+
+<p>Well, our young friends heartily
+seconded the wishes of their parents,
+and except in cold or stormy weather,
+their little garden was the scene of
+great industry, as soon as their several
+lessons for the day were recited.
+They had a complete set of garden
+tools, just the right size for such little
+folks: spades, hoes, rakes, watering-pots,
+and a wheelbarrow. I assure
+you they did not let these tools lie
+idle. Their garden, which produced
+flowers of all kinds, and many varieties
+of fruit, always presented a neat
+and workman-like appearance. The
+boys usually took upon themselves
+the most laborious part of the work,
+such as digging, and hoeing, and raking,
+while their sisters planted and
+transplanted, and watered, and pruned
+and trimmed, as occasion required.</p>

+
+<p>One day, early in the Spring, the
+little folks took it into their heads to
+build an arbor in their garden. So,
+getting their mother's consent, they
+applied to the gardener, who furnished
+them with some stout poles
+and strips of boards necessary for
+their purpose. Accordingly, they
+were soon industriously engaged in
+their first essay at building.</p>
+
+<p>Henry planned the shape and the
+frame, and then he and Charles, with
+mallet and hammer in hand, drove
+the poles into the ground, and nailed
+on the strips of board; while Maria
+and Elizabeth held the materials for
+them, and Harriet and John handed
+up such things as were needed.</p>
+
+<p>In four or five days, "<span class="smcap">Woodbine
+Arbor</span>," as the little folks named it,
+was quite finished. In the center of
+it they had placed a table, and built
+seats around the sides of the arbor.
+These the girls covered very neatly
+ <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_9" id="Page_9">[Pg 9]</a></span>
+with cloth, which their mamma gave
+them for the purpose.</p>
+
+<p>At each corner of the arbor, our
+young gardeners set out a fine large
+woodbine, which the gardener gave
+them, and at the sides several beautiful
+climbing roses. These vines
+they trained up to, and over the top of
+the arbor, in such a way as to shade
+the inside from the rays of the sun.</p>
+
+<p>When these plants were in full
+bloom, the arbor presented a lovely
+appearance, and was filled with the
+most delightful fragrance. Here our
+little gardeners retired when they
+were fatigued with their labors, or
+when the heat of the sun prevented
+their working in the garden.</p>

+ <p class="caption2">ARRANGING THE BOUQUETS.</p>
+</div>
+
+<p>&nbsp;</p>
+
+<p>On the anniversary of the wedding
+day of Mr. and Mrs. Howard, the children
+always selected from their garden
+the choicest flowers, as an offering
+to their beloved parents; indeed,
+each of them cultivated several rare
+and beautiful kinds for this particular
+occasion. Gathering the flowers
+together, they exerted their utmost
+<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">[Pg 11]</a></span>skill in forming two fine large bouquets
+for their father and mother,
+which were presented as an offering
+from all the children, and which
+were designed to grace the vases
+on the parlor mantle-piece.</p>
+
+<p>When these two bouquets were arranged
+to the satisfaction of all the
+little folks, each one made two of a
+smaller size, just alike, which they
+presented in their own name.</p>
+
+<p>You may be sure these little gifts
+of affection were duly prized by the
+fond parents, and were kept from
+fading as long as possible. They
+were rewarded, too, by some suitable
+present to each child, accompanied
+by kind wishes, and such words
+of advice and instruction as the occasion
+called for. These words of advice,
+given at such times, made a lasting
+impression; they were remembered
+by the little ones as long as
+they remembered the happy events
+which called them forth.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_12" id="Page_12">[Pg 12]</a></span>
+ But you must not suppose these
+little masters and misses were so fond
+of gardening as to spend all their
+play-hours there. Oh, no; like most
+other children, they liked play and
+play-things. The girls all had dolls,
+and a pet rabbit and two little white
+poodles to amuse themselves with.
+Henry made kites, bows, arrows, and
+other toys, and Charles was quite
+fond of making and sailing little toy
+ships, while John, the youngest, liked
+nothing much better than playing
+with a ball or trundling his hoop.
+Still, the garden, after all, afforded
+them more real and lasting pleasure
+than any thing else.</p>
+

+ <p class="caption2">THE TOY SHIP.</p>
+</div>
+
+<p>&nbsp;</p>
+
+<p>But the year I am telling you
+about,&mdash;the year in which our little
+friends built their arbor,&mdash;instead of
+presenting the bouquets as usual, they
+begged their parents to visit them at
+the arbor. The invitation was readily
+accepted, and the children accordingly
+made the necessary preparations.
+Having selected the very
+ <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_14" id="Page_14">[Pg 14]</a></span>
+choicest fruits from their garden,
+they arranged it to the best advantage
+on the table, placing the two
+large bouquets in the center; they
+then each held the two smaller ones
+in their hands, and presented them,
+with their best wishes, as their parents
+entered the arbor.</p>
+
+<p>I shall not attempt to tell you how
+delighted the young people all were
+on this occasion, when their neat little
+arbor, the work of their own hands,
+was thus honored with a visit from
+their parents. With some crowding,
+there was room for the eight persons,
+but mamma made a little more by
+taking the youngest up in her lap.
+Then the different fruits were handed
+round, and all partook of such as
+suited them best. Never were happier
+children assembled, or happier
+parents. Not even the finest fruit
+raised by their experienced gardener,
+ever tasted half as sweet as that
+which was eaten at the little feast in
+"<span class="smcap">Woodbine Arbor</span>."</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_15" id="Page_15">[Pg 15]</a></span>
+ When it was over, mamma, at the
+urgent request of the children, sang
+one of her sweetest songs, and then
+they all took a walk through the
+garden. Many, very many, were
+the words of praise and encouragement
+spoken by the parents, as they
+beheld the neatness and good order
+in which every thing was kept. The
+handsomely laid out beds and borders,
+the straight rows of plants,
+the well-trained vines, the beautiful
+flowers, and the luxuriant growth of
+the little trees and shrubbery, without
+a single weed to mar the beauty
+of the garden, excited their highest
+admiration.</p>
+
+<p>"My dear little ones," said Mr.
+Howard, "let the care which you
+have bestowed upon this sweet little
+spot, and the success which has attended
+your efforts, incite you to
+higher and nobler aims, which will
+most certainly be rewarded with
+higher and nobler results. With
+the same care and industry which
+ <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_16" id="Page_16">[Pg 16]</a></span>
+you have bestowed upon your garden,
+cultivate your <i>minds</i>, and raise
+in them the lovely and unfading flowers
+of piety and virtue. Root out
+from them the noxious weeds of vice
+and evil habits, and train all your
+thoughts upward to your heavenly
+Father and Benefactor. Assist each
+other in this mental cultivation, with
+the same kindness which you have
+all shown in cultivating your garden;
+be ready at all rimes to share
+with the poor and needy the blessings
+which you enjoy, as freely as you
+have this day shared the productions
+of your garden with your parents.
+Then, like the plants which you have
+here cultivated, you will bear fruit
+and flowers to bless and cheer your
+fellow-men; and when you are removed
+from earth you will be transplanted
+in heaven, and blossom forever
+in the <i>Garden of the Lord</i>."</p>

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of

+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.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf.
+
+
+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. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg

+
+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://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf
+
+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://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/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.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
+eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
+compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
+the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org">http://www.gutenberg.org</a>
+
+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.
+
+EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
+are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to
+download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
+search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
+download by the etext year.
+
+<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/">http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/</a>
+
+ (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
+ 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)
+
+EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
+filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part
+of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is
+identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single
+digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For
+example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:
+
+http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/0/2/3/10234
+
+or filename 24689 would be found at:
+http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/2/4/6/8/24689

+
+
+
+
+WOODBINE ARBOR; OR THE LITTLE GARDENERS.
+
+
+Let me tell you, my dear young reader, about a happy little family of
+three brothers and three sisters, who lived in a pleasant home, not
+far from the great city of New-York. Their father, Mr. Howard, was a
+wealthy merchant, and had his store in the city, to which he usually
+rode early in the morning, directly after breakfast, and returned home
+in season to take tea with his family. He had six children, the little
+folks whom I am now going to tell you about.
+
+The girls were named Maria, Elizabeth, and Harriet. The boys were
+Henry, Charles, and John.--Henry was the oldest, then Charles, Maria,
+John, Elizabeth, and Harriet.
+
+Their home was a beautiful country-seat, situated not far from the
+East river, with fine old shade trees in front of it. In the rear was
+a very large garden, laid out with great neatness and taste, and well
+stocked with fruits and flowers. Then there were walks and borders,
+and summer-houses, and arbors, and almost every thing which could
+render it a delightful place.
+
+One portion of his grounds Mr. Howard had laid out for a garden for his
+children. This was to be their own, and in it they were to dig, and hoe,
+and rake, and plant, and transplant, and water, just as they pleased, so
+long as they were attentive to their lessons, obedient to their parents,
+and kind to each other. When any of them misbehaved,--which was very
+seldom,--that child was forbidden to visit the garden for one or two
+days, or a week, according to the nature of its offence.
+
+[Illustration: TRANSPLANTING.]
+
+Mr. and Mrs. Howard were both anxious that their children should grow
+up, not only good and intelligent, but that they should acquire
+active and industrious habits; they therefore encouraged them all,
+girls as well as boys, to pass their play-hours in the healthy and
+delightful employment of gardening.
+
+Well, our young friends heartily seconded the wishes of their parents,
+and except in cold or stormy weather, their little garden was the
+scene of great industry, as soon as their several lessons for the day
+were recited. They had a complete set of garden tools, just the right
+size for such little folks: spades, hoes, rakes, watering-pots, and a
+wheelbarrow. I assure you they did not let these tools lie idle. Their
+garden, which produced flowers of all kinds, and many varieties of
+fruit, always presented a neat and workman-like appearance. The boys
+usually took upon themselves the most laborious part of the work, such
+as digging, and hoeing, and raking, while their sisters planted and
+transplanted, and watered, and pruned and trimmed, as occasion required.
+
+[Illustration: THE LITTLE GARDENERS.]
+
+One day, early in the Spring, the little folks took it into their heads
+to build an arbor in their garden. So, getting their mother's consent,
+they applied to the gardener, who furnished them with some stout poles
+and strips of boards necessary for their purpose. Accordingly, they were
+soon industriously engaged in their first essay at building.
+
+Henry planned the shape and the frame, and then he and Charles, with
+mallet and hammer in hand, drove the poles into the ground, and nailed
+on the strips of board; while Maria and Elizabeth held the materials
+for them, and Harriet and John handed up such things as were needed.
+
+In four or five days, "WOODBINE ARBOR," as the little folks named it,
+was quite finished. In the center of it they had placed a table, and
+built seats around the sides of the arbor. These the girls covered
+very neatly with cloth, which their mamma gave them for the purpose.
+
+At each corner of the arbor, our young gardeners set out a fine large
+woodbine, which the gardener gave them, and at the sides several
+beautiful climbing roses. These vines they trained up to, and over the
+top of the arbor, in such a way as to shade the inside from the rays
+of the sun.
+
+When these plants were in full bloom, the arbor presented a lovely
+appearance, and was filled with the most delightful fragrance. Here our
+little gardeners retired when they were fatigued with their labors, or
+when the heat of the sun prevented their working in the garden.
+
+[Illustration: ARRANGING THE BOUQUETS.]
+
+On the anniversary of the wedding day of Mr. and Mrs. Howard, the
+children always selected from their garden the choicest flowers, as an
+offering to their beloved parents; indeed, each of them cultivated
+several rare and beautiful kinds for this particular occasion.
+Gathering the flowers together, they exerted their utmost skill in
+forming two fine large bouquets for their father and mother, which
+were presented as an offering from all the children, and which were
+designed to grace the vases on the parlor mantle-piece.
+
+When these two bouquets were arranged to the satisfaction of all the
+little folks, each one made two of a smaller size, just alike, which
+they presented in their own name.
+
+You may be sure these little gifts of affection were duly prized by the
+fond parents, and were kept from fading as long as possible. They were
+rewarded, too, by some suitable present to each child, accompanied by
+kind wishes, and such words of advice and instruction as the occasion
+called for. These words of advice, given at such times, made a lasting
+impression; they were remembered by the little ones as long as they
+remembered the happy events which called them forth.
+
+But you must not suppose these little masters and misses were so fond
+of gardening as to spend all their play-hours there. Oh, no; like most
+other children, they liked play and play-things. The girls all had
+dolls, and a pet rabbit and two little white poodles to amuse
+themselves with. Henry made kites, bows, arrows, and other toys, and
+Charles was quite fond of making and sailing little toy ships, while
+John, the youngest, liked nothing much better than playing with a ball
+or trundling his hoop. Still, the garden, after all, afforded them
+more real and lasting pleasure than any thing else.
+
+[Illustration: THE TOY SHIP.]
+
+But the year I am telling you about,--the year in which our little
+friends built their arbor,--instead of presenting the bouquets as
+usual, they begged their parents to visit them at the arbor. The
+invitation was readily accepted, and the children accordingly made the
+necessary preparations. Having selected the very choicest fruits
+from their garden, they arranged it to the best advantage on the
+table, placing the two large bouquets in the center; they then each
+held the two smaller ones in their hands, and presented them, with
+their best wishes, as their parents entered the arbor.
+
+I shall not attempt to tell you how delighted the young people all were
+on this occasion, when their neat little arbor, the work of their own
+hands, was thus honored with a visit from their parents. With some
+crowding, there was room for the eight persons, but mamma made a little
+more by taking the youngest up in her lap. Then the different fruits
+were handed round, and all partook of such as suited them best. Never
+were happier children assembled, or happier parents. Not even the finest
+fruit raised by their experienced gardener, ever tasted half as sweet as
+that which was eaten at the little feast in "WOODBINE ARBOR."
+
+When it was over, mamma, at the urgent request of the children, sang
+one of her sweetest songs, and then they all took a walk through the
+garden. Many, very many, were the words of praise and encouragement
+spoken by the parents, as they beheld the neatness and good order in
+which every thing was kept. The handsomely laid out beds and borders,
+the straight rows of plants, the well-trained vines, the beautiful
+flowers, and the luxuriant growth of the little trees and shrubbery,
+without a single weed to mar the beauty of the garden, excited their
+highest admiration.
+
+"My dear little ones," said Mr. Howard, "let the care which you have
+bestowed upon this sweet little spot, and the success which has
+attended your efforts, incite you to higher and nobler aims, which
+will most certainly be rewarded with higher and nobler results. With
+the same care and industry which you have bestowed upon your garden,
+cultivate your _minds_, and raise in them the lovely and unfading
+flowers of piety and virtue. Root out from them the noxious weeds of
+vice and evil habits, and train all your thoughts upward to your
+heavenly Father and Benefactor. Assist each other in this mental
+cultivation, with the same kindness which you have all shown in
+cultivating your garden; be ready at all rimes to share with the poor
+and needy the blessings which you enjoy, as freely as you have this
+day shared the productions of your garden with your parents. Then,
+like the plants which you have here cultivated, you will bear fruit
+and flowers to bless and cheer your fellow-men; and when you are
+removed from earth you will be transplanted in heaven, and blossom
+forever in the _Garden of the Lord_."

+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to
+protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm concept and trademark. Project

+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission. If you
+do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the
+rules is very easy. You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose

+
+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

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:

+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

+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.

+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.

+form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+ 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

+ 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.
+

+
+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

+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

+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

+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

+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,

+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.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf.
+
+
+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. 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://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+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:

+
+
+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.
