Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org. Email contact links and up to date contact +information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official +page at http://pglaf.org + +For additional contact information: + Dr. Gregory B. Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@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 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. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/39230-h/images/coatarms.png b/39230-h/images/coatarms.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..8f547fb --- /dev/null +++ b/39230-h/images/coatarms.png diff --git a/39230-h/images/cover.jpg b/39230-h/images/cover.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..5c83840 --- /dev/null +++ b/39230-h/images/cover.jpg diff --git a/39230-h/images/image001.jpg b/39230-h/images/image001.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..39a47e1 --- /dev/null +++ b/39230-h/images/image001.jpg diff --git a/39230-h/images/image002.jpg b/39230-h/images/image002.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..2ac2aca --- /dev/null +++ b/39230-h/images/image002.jpg diff --git a/39230-h/images/image003.jpg b/39230-h/images/image003.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..fd6dda7 --- /dev/null +++ b/39230-h/images/image003.jpg diff --git a/39230-h/images/image004.jpg b/39230-h/images/image004.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..52527c3 --- /dev/null +++ b/39230-h/images/image004.jpg diff --git a/39230-h/images/image005.jpg b/39230-h/images/image005.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..16fa203 --- /dev/null +++ b/39230-h/images/image005.jpg diff --git a/39230-h/images/image006.jpg b/39230-h/images/image006.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..f09aec4 --- /dev/null +++ b/39230-h/images/image006.jpg diff --git a/39230-h/images/image007.jpg b/39230-h/images/image007.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..149b11d --- /dev/null +++ b/39230-h/images/image007.jpg diff --git a/39230-h/images/image008.jpg b/39230-h/images/image008.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..e0bba74 --- /dev/null +++ b/39230-h/images/image008.jpg diff --git a/39230-h/images/image009.jpg b/39230-h/images/image009.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..37b00d5 --- /dev/null +++ b/39230-h/images/image009.jpg diff --git a/39230-h/images/image010.jpg b/39230-h/images/image010.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..8008e1c --- /dev/null +++ b/39230-h/images/image010.jpg |
