+     "The genius, wit, and spirit of a nation are discovered by
+     their proverbs."--LORD BACON.
+
+
+
+
+PREFACE.
+
+
+Long before writing and books were in common use, proverbs were the
+principal means of imparting instruction. In modern times there is not
+so much need to apply these old sayings as a means of educating the
+people, but they are still constantly met with in the newspapers and in
+general literature, and they are rightly considered as "The texts of
+common life."
+
+The late Earl Russell very aptly described a proverb as "The wisdom of
+many and the wit of one." We value proverbs chiefly as moral maxims
+teaching some practical lesson set forth in concise, pithy sentences,
+which are fixed in the memory without effort, and retained without being
+burdensome. They have been found useful for guidance in almost every
+condition of life; but, on the other hand, it is quite true that many
+dangerous precepts have been propounded in proverbs, and some of the
+older ones gave such questionable advice, or were couched in such
+objectionable language, that they have been very properly omitted from
+every collection intended, as this is, for general use. Other old
+proverbs have become obsolete, and as their meaning is now obscure, they
+have not been included in the Dictionary.
+
+This series of "Handy Books" would hardly be complete without a
+collection of English Proverbs. Many books on the subject have been
+written, but it is hoped that this collection will, in some respects, be
+found to be an improvement on all its predecessors. Like _The Dictionary
+of Daily Blunders_, this _Dictionary of English Proverbs_ has been
+framed so as to enable the reader to find what he wants without
+difficulty. The Dictionary itself is arranged according to the principal
+words, and there is also a Copious Index of additional principal words.
+
+Other modern collections profess to give an "Alphabetical Index," but
+such an index is of little use when we find that it is framed on the
+rule that because a proverb begins with the article _A_, it should
+therefore be indexed under that letter. As, "A bald head is soon
+shaven." In another similar Index we find the proverb, "'Tis the second
+blow makes the fray," inserted under the letter _T_. In one index of
+this kind there are no less than twenty-two pages of _A's_ and almost
+as many of _The's_. Indeed the whole index is compiled without the
+slightest regard to the subject of the proverbs. On this subject
+Disraeli, in his essay on the "Philosophy of Proverbs," says "The
+arrangement of proverbs has baffled the ingenuity of every one of their
+collectors. Ray, after long premeditation, has chosen a system with the
+appearance of an alphabetical order, but it turns out that his system is
+no system, and his alphabet is no alphabet. After ten years' labour the
+good man could only arrange his proverbs by commonplaces." In this
+little Dictionary, as we have already stated, the proverbs are arranged
+in alphabetical order, according to the leading words, and are
+consecutively numbered. But, in order to avoid repetition (as most of
+the proverbs contain, at least, two leading words), the _subject words_
+are used for the Dictionary, and the other principal words will be found
+in the Index, with a numerical reference to the proverb. The great
+advantage of this arrangement is, that if only one important word of a
+proverb be remembered, that word can be turned to in the Dictionary,
+and, if not found there, will certainly be in the Index. Nearly two
+thousand of the leading words are thus indexed--enough to make it almost
+impossible to miss finding what is wanted. This plan has also the
+effect of bringing together the proverbs on kindred subjects, which is
+often a matter of importance to writers, and is, moreover, most amusing
+to those who only read the book to while away a leisure hour. Ready
+reference is further facilitated in the Index by the addition of
+associated words. If one word only had been given, the reader might have
+had to refer to eleven proverbs before he found the one he required; as,
+for example, in the case of _Dog_.
+
+It may be convenient to state that the Dictionary has been compiled
+principally from Ray's collection, first published in 1670. The
+remainder of the proverbs have been collected from ancient and modern
+literature; but some few of them will not be found in any other
+published collection.
+
+It only remains to remind the reader that this is a collection of
+ENGLISH Proverbs only; and we may appropriately conclude our Preface
+with a further extract from Disraeli's essay, wherein he very justly
+remarks that "The experience of life will throw a perpetual freshness
+over these short and simple texts; every day may furnish a new
+commentary; and we may grow old and still find novelty in proverbs by
+their perpetual application."

+
+EXTRACTS FROM OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
+
+Useful knowledge. . . . Invaluable alike as desk or pocket companion.
+. . . Treats of the multitude of errors daily made in speaking and
+writing, and offers corrections collected from the best authorities. Its
+dictionary form enables any one in doubt to readily turn to the word
+required. . . . Its value and necessity are unquestionable.--_Morning
+Post._
+
+A dictionary has just been published, enumerating the common blunders of
+speech and writing, which are constantly perpetrated. Such a work seems,
+at first sight, a very formidable undertaking, and the complete mastery
+of its text promises many a wretched quarter of an hour to those on whom
+its valuable information is inflicted. . . . There are some mistakes
+which appear to be ineradicable, and will not be corrected, even if the
+Blunder Dictionary arrives at its thousandth edition. . . . Next to the
+slave who attended a Roman Emperor in triumph to remind him that he was
+mortal . . . surely the object most to be dreaded is the editor of a
+Dictionary of Blunders, arranged on such a complete and systematic
+plan, as to form a court of appeal to which every household can be
+conveniently referred. . . . The volume is actually published, and
+contains 126 closely printed pages, containing examples of errors that
+are to be found in the daily speech even of well-educated persons. . . .
+The Editor is to be thanked for his useful book.--_Daily Telegraph._
+
+Pleasantly written. . . . In its dimensions it is handy, and the utility
+of its contents is beyond question. The legion of "self-educated" men
+who adorn our age should not be without this useful companion, for, by
+its aid, the blunders of speech more particularly common to them would
+be advantageously avoided.--_Citizen._
+
+So far as we can discover from a brief perusal of the handy little
+volume, the author's work has been very well done.--_AthenA|um._
+
+A well-meant attempt to keep people clear of some common errors. . . .
+There is certainly evidence enough, of one kind or another, in the
+volume before us, of the existence of blunders which could hardly have
+been suspected.--_Saturday Review._
+
+Beautifully printed. . . . may be confidently recommended to those for
+whose use it is designed.--_Manchester Guardian._
+
+. . . Of value, and worth knowing. . . . Amusing, and to an extent,
+useful also.--_Dublin Freeman's Journal._
+
+Will be found useful and amusing. . . . It is arranged alphabetically,
+and contains a considerable vocabulary of words supposed to present a
+difficulty either in spelling, meaning, or pronunciation. Some of the
+comments on popular mistakes are very well done.--_Record._
+
+Those who are not quite sure as to their grammar, their pronunciation,
+or their spelling, will doubtless find this pocket volume very
+useful.--_Sunday Times._
+
+Will be of use to every one who has either to speak or to write. As this
+embraces all mankind, the book may be said to be of value to everybody.
+Very neatly got up.--_Scotsman._
+
+A glance through the pages of this book is very amusing, almost as
+entertaining as a selection of wit and humour would be. There is no
+doubt as to the general accuracy and usefulness of the corrections.
+. . . . We heartily recommend the Dictionary.--_Liverpool Albion._
+
+Corrected from the best authorities and arranged in alphabetical
+order. . . . The student can turn readily to the remarks made upon any
+particular mistake.--_Dublin Evening Mail._
+
+A useful aid to correct speech.--_Literary World._
+
+The value of a book is not always to be reckoned by its size. This
+little dictionary would go into the waistcoat pocket, yet every word in
+it has its value, and the common mistakes in speaking and writing which
+it undertakes to correct are nearly always put right in the best way. In
+a few instances in which we are inclined to criticise, a conflict of
+opinion among the authorities would probably be found to
+exist.--_Bookseller._
+
+A manual such as this will not be out of place at the right hand of all
+who desire not to blunder.--_Dundee Advertiser._
+
+An excellent little book, which cannot be too well known or too widely
+circulated. We know a large number of persons who would preserve
+themselves from perpetrating the most unfortunate blunders if they would
+carefully consult it.--_Christian World._
+
+The compiler of _A Dictionary of Daily Blunders_ at least deserves
+credit for an excellent idea. . . . Even the most practised speaker or
+writer is liable to momentary uncertainty about simple points of
+pronunciation or spelling--not to say construction of sentences. . . .
+Contains some good material. . . . A useful feature of the book is the
+publication in full of participles, in the spelling of which a writer is
+often apt to get confused, and which are rarely included in
+dictionaries.--_Nottingham Guardian._
+
+Evidently at great pains, the author of this useful handbook has brought
+together a large number of blunders which are heard often in speaking
+and seen in writing. We have gone rather minutely over the work, and can
+say that the corrections are nearly all just. . . . The book will be
+useful to many, and the reader will be surprised to find in what a great
+number of instances he is wrong in the usage and pronunciation of words.
+We recommend this handbook heartily.--_Dundee Courier._
+
+We can speak highly of this publication. . . . A credit to the publishers,
+and we have little doubt will have a very large circulation.--_Wigan
+Observer._
+
+The selection has been very judiciously made. One must be a remarkably
+faultless speaker and writer who does not get several useful hints from
+this booklet.--_Aberdeen Journal._
+
+. . . There is in this small volume a good deal of really useful matter,
+and many readers (especially among those who are also writers) might
+derive more benefit from its study than would by themselves be
+imagined.--_Exchange._
+
+
+
+
+_Excerpts from the Press Notices of Familiar Latin Quotations and
+Proverbs._
+
+
+A translation of the Latin phrases which are of most common use in the
+literature of the day, which is likely to be useful.--_The Echo._
+
+In a cheap and handy little volume we have here a large selection of
+Latin phrases, proverbs, and quotations. It is ample in all respects,
+and is likely to be of great and general utility.--_Sunday Times._
+
+To newspaper men, public speakers, and correspondents in every
+direction, this little "Vade mecum" will prove most
+useful.--_News-Vendor._
+
+The English translations are given as literally as possible, and they
+frequently embrace all the most generally accepted renderings. So far as
+we have been able to detect, the book has been carefully edited by a
+competent and capable writer.--_Railway Fly-Sheet._
+
+A small work of reference such as has been greatly needed. We recommend
+it especially to all readers who want to understand what they read, and
+do not know Latin, and to all writers who want to seem more learned than
+they are.--_Civil Service Review._
+
+A very handy selection of "Familiar Latin Quotations and Proverbs," of
+which not only translations but also explanations are given. We
+confidently recommend this little book.--_Printers' Register._
+
+A very handy little book. It contains, arranged in alphabetical order,
+all the most common Latin quotations with their signification, and many
+which are not so well known. The author has been careful in doing his
+work, and has produced a really good little book of
+reference.--_Scotsman._
+
+To those whose classical education has been wholly neglected the work
+will be found to be a suitable "Vade mecum," and even to those who
+learnt a good deal of Latin at school it will be found to be highly
+useful.--_North British Advertiser._
+
+It is a most admirable compilation. We can heartily recommend it as a
+book of reference, and from which most genuine instruction can be
+extracted.--_Glasgow Citizen._
+
+In this handy little book the compiler has collected the Latin
+quotations which occur most frequently in the serial literature of the
+day, arranging them alphabetically along with translations. This is
+truly a "handy referential volume," and deserving of a large
+sale.--_Edinburgh Courant._
+
+A very useful little work which will be invaluable to the reader whose
+studies have not included the classic languages. In the space of 120
+pages are compressed no fewer than fifteen hundred Latin words, phrases,
+and proverbs, frequently met with in newspapers, political or
+philosophical works, law books, etc. We have looked over the book
+carefully, and tested it by searching for less usual quotations; but in
+every case we have found what we sought. Each phrase is rendered as
+literally as the construction of the English and Latin languages will
+admit; and where necessary a paraphrase or explanation is appended in
+addition.--_Irish Times._
+
+
+
+
+_FAMILIAR ENGLISH QUOTATIONS._
+
+
+The object of this little volume is to trace the Familiar Quotations so
+constantly in use to their proper authorship, and to correct the errors
+so frequently made by public speakers and writers. The origin of such
+everyday sayings as
+
+     "He that fights and runs away,
+     May turn and fight another day,"
+
+(erroneously supposed to be in Butler's "Hudibras,") and a number of
+other phrases of a like character, is given, and the _exact place_ of
+them in the different authors' works is recorded.
+
+The errors constantly made in quoting are remarkable. The author of
+an interesting volume, comprising many well-known passages, names
+"Hudibras" as containing the lines
+
+     "They that in quarrels interpose,
+     Will often wipe a bloody nose."
+
+In an essay on "Misquotations," which recently appeared in a very ably
+conducted newspaper, the object of the writer being to _correct_ the
+blunders constantly made, he falls into the usual mistake of quoting
+Nat. Lee as writing
+
+     "When Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war,"
+
+and a learned and eminent divine, a certain Dr. B., some years ago, in
+the presence of a large party, obstinately insisted that
+
+     "A man convinced against his will"
+
+was a correct passage from "Hudibras," and was only satisfied as to his
+blunder by the production of Butler's immortal work. Even so
+accomplished a scholar as Mr. Gladstone--_quandoque bonus dormitat
+Homerus_--errs; in a recently published number of the _Nineteenth
+Century_, quoting Byron's words,
+
+     "The bubbling cry
+     Of some strong swimmer in his agony,"
+
+he names them as occurring in "Childe Harold," instead of in "Don Juan."

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

+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission.  If you

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

+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org/license
+
+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

+     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

+     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.

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation

+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

+
+
+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.
