DARTON, 58, HOLBORN-HILL. + + 1811. + + + + + CLASSICAL ENIGMAS, _&c._ + + +[Aries] + + Name the _Queen_ of Old England, whose bigotted zeal, + Made her subjects the terrors of Popery feel, + Then that glorious example of goodness and grace, + The last _Sovereign_, who reign'd, of the true Stuart race. + The _King_, who unjustly the sceptre to gain, + Had his friends, and his kindred most cruelly slain. + Next _him_, whom the puritan party dethron'd, + And whose faults, by the loss of his head was atton'd. + Now name that bold _King_, who threw off the yoke + Treating the Pope, and his Bulls as a joke: + Who not from religion, but whimsey of passion, + Declar'd, that the Bible should come into fashion. + Place these Monarchs together, the first letters take, + When a Month in the year, they'll certainly make. + + A. R. + +[Illustration] + + +[Sagittarius] + + That _Monster of Rome_, who no equal can claim, + For the crimes that for ever, have blacken'd his name. + _Augustus's sister_, great Anthony's wife, + Whom he left for that beauty, who cost him his life. + The _Emperor_, who thought it improper to lay, + When death call'd his soul from his body away, + Determin'd the summons undaunted to meet, + And was plac'd by his courtiers erect on his feet. + That _Prince_ whom the Romans delighted to name, + As first of their race, tho' from Venus he came. + That _Emperor_ gigantic, who for his ring chose + A bracelet, the wrist of his wife could enclose. + The harsh _Roman Father_, who sternly sat by + To condemn, and behold, his own children die. + The _conquer'd_, whom first Cincinnatus did doom + To pass through the yoke, for contending with Rome. + Last one of the _Twins_, who was nurs'd by a goat, + Yet founded old Rome, that great city of note. + Now take the _initials_, and put them together, + They'll tell you a month, that has often wet weather. + + A. R. + + +[Libra] + + The _Grecian_ fam'd for strength of lungs, + And voice as loud, as fifty tongues; + The _Nymph_, who answers every tone, + And sigh for sigh, when your're alone; + The _Man_ who boldly did aspire, + To steal the sun's etherial fire; + Those _regions dark_, you now may tell, + Where wicked spirits ever dwell; + Then name the _fields of bliss_ below, + Where we are told the happy go; + That _King_, whose vanity appears + Rewarded, with enormous ears; + The _Wind_, whose blustering looks inform, + He rides upon the raging storm; + And the _lov'd wife_, whom stories tell, + Her husband went to seek in hell! + Last name one of the _Judges_ three, + Who bliss, or punishment decree; + On all who pass the Stygian wave, + By Charon ferry'd, king or slave. + Unite all the first letters well, + A month within the year they'll tell. + + A. R. + + +[Capricorn] + + First name me the _Cinque Port_ that's nearest to France, + Where the Despot of Paris, would like to advance; + But he fears with the billows of Neptune to strive, + Well-knowing, he never shall get back alive. + Now an _Island_, where in the same shire you will find + An _University_ large, for great learning design'd; + The _island_ the prayers of a Bishop can claim, + And the _College_ boasts proudly of William Pitt's name. + Then a _College_ in Bucks, founded long time ago, + By Edward the Sixth, as the records will show. + Now the _birth-place_ of Henry the Fifth you may tell, + Who tho' wild as a Prince, as a King govern'd well; + Then name where the crooked backed Richard the Third + Was _conquer'd_, and where they his relics interr'd; + Then _where_ in these modern times it is known, + To view the horse-racing, that Royaltys shown; + Last tell me that _lovely unfortunate fair_, + Whom Henry the Second, protected with care; + Put these names together, perhaps you will find, + They'll tell you a month that to mirth is inclin'd. + + A. R. + + +[Leo] + + Take the _writer_, whose size both of body and mind, + Were much more gigantic, than common you'll find, + Whose brains were employ'd for the good of the age, + And perfect the language, you find in each page, + Whether out with his Rambler, you venture to roam, + Or stay with his Rasselas, shut up at home. + When tired of his numbers, I'd have you to name, + A _Bishop_ of Ireland, recorded by fame, + Whose writings will ever be held in esteem, + By those who make sacred religion their theme. + Next remember the _writer_, whose delicate lay, + Deserv'd from Apollo, a chaplet of Bay; + Who in Hagley's sweet groves, for his Lucy did mourn, + And wept with true sorrow long over his urn. + There is none but poor Shaw, with his numbers can vie, + Who so sweetly laments that his Emma should die. + Then last name the _Poet_, whose anguish and grief, + Seeks in sorrowful verses some little relief, + Who o'er his Narcissa, so young, and so fair, + Laments in a language, uncommon, and rare. + Place these sons of Parnassus, in proper array, + And they'll tell you a month that is cheerful and gay. + + A. R. + + +[Aquarius] + + The _God_ whom Artists always grace, + By giving him a double face: + The _food_ divine, that's eat on high, + By all the inmates of the sky; + Also the _Liquor_, drank above, + Which Hebe hands, to mighty Jove; + _He_, who for fair Calypso's smile, + Forgot his wife, and native isle: + Now Thetis' _son_, who chose the strife, + Of warlike fame, instead of life: + That _island_, where we're always told, + The brass Colossus stood of old: + The _time_, no efforts can regain, + Tho' oft we spend its hours in vain. + Take the first letters and they'll tell + A month, when firing pleases well. + + A. R. + +[Illustration] + + +[Cancer] + + The _King_, who was forc'd Magna Charta to sign, + Or his crown and kingdom, for ever resign. + The _term_ which fair Scotland, with England did join, + And the Roses and Thistles, agree to entwine. + No king can I find, who will give my next letter, + So think of an _Admiral_, can you do better? + Then speak of the Trafalgar Hero whose name, + Stands high in the records, of glory and fame. + Then the pride of Old England, that _Queen_ who alone, + Well guarded her rights, and protected her throne. + If you join the initials, perhaps you will find, + A Month in the year, when bright Phoebus is kind. + + A. R. + +[Illustration] + + +[Taurus] + + The _first Roman Emperor_, whose forty years sway, + His people with pleasure, could always obey. + The _General_, whom Cæsar contrived to annoy. + And occasion his army in terror to fly, + By desiring his soldiers, their faces to wound, + Which soon made the combatants vacate the ground. + That _Roman_, whose firmness no sufferings could move, + Tho' destin'd the cruellest torments to prove. + The name of that _Horse_, whose vile master did say, + He wish'd he all Romans, could kill in a day. + The fair Roman _Matron_, whose cause to espouse, + The long smother'd spirit of Brutus did rouse. + These names plac'd aright, the first letters will tell, + A month in the year, most people love well. + + A. R. + +[Illustration] + + +[Pisces] + + The fickle _Goddess_, false and blind, + To some profuse, to more unkind: + The _Shepherd_, who on Latmos height, + Was courted by the Queen of night; + The _Maid_, for whom Achilles swore, + He'd aid the Grecian cause no more: + _Jove's mother_ name, and _Saturn's wife_, + Who fled to save her infant life: + _He_, who when feigning madness try'd, + With care to turn the plough aside, + Nor o'er that furrow bend its way, + Where he beheld his infant lay. + The _Queen_, whom Jove with love assail'd, + And in the husband's form prevail'd; + The _King_, whose horses Diomed, + And grave Ulysses captive led; + And now conclude with that _blest time_, + We should enjoy, while in its prime. + So place the initials, and they'll say, + A month, not quite so warm as May. + + A. R. + + +[Scorpio] + + I would have you that great _University_ name, + From whence many good scholars, have risen to fame; + Then _where William the Conqueror_, rested in peace, + And all his vexations in this world, did cease; + Then tell me the _River_, on whose verdant sides, + The noble, the merchant, the trader resides, + Whose opulent stream wild meandring flows, + Well laden with riches, to proud London goes: + Then _where_, the best medicine is to be had, + For those who are bitten, by dogs raving mad. + The fam'd _Wells_ in Derbyshire, which we are told, + Tho' close by each other, are one hot, t'other cold: + That _commotion_, which troubles the bowels of earth + And causes confusion, when 'ere it bursts forth; + Then a _place_ name in Berkshire, where Henry the first + Lays quietly resting, that Fates done her worst. + Join the first letters together, and soon they will make + A month, when its pleasant a ramble to take. + + A. R. + + +[Gemini] + + The _Bard_, tho' wanting sight inspir'd, + Was with poetic rapture fir'd; + His noble strains, and verse to raise, + Singing of heaven, his tuneful lays, + In numbers born to lasting fame, + I beg you'll tell this writer's name. + Next him, another _Author_ tell, + Who wrote in numbers soft and well; + Whose lines were tutor'd to convey, + To every heart the moral lay, + Whose Cato and Spectators shine, + With many beauties of the nine; + Now _he_, whose gloomy thoughts appear, + For ever damp'd with sorrows tear, + Whose discontented numbers show, + The cause, from which his murmurs flow, + And disappointment marks the name, + Of him, who grumbling sought for fame. + These writers, when their names yon know, + Will tell a month when flowrets blow. + + A. R. + + +[Virgo] + + The _goddess_ of the rosy morn, + Whose smiles with health, our cheeks adorn; + Then tell as quickly as you can, + The Poets _much enduring man_; + The _Youth_ who gave the cup on high, + When fair Hebe left the sky; + The _Muses name_, I'd have you find, + Most to astronomy inclin'd; + Then take the _River_, at whose sound, + The gods, eternally are bound; + The _Muse_, before whose comic eye, + Despair and melancholy fly; + The initials join'd, will surely find, + Amusement for your active mind, + And rightly plac'd, will soon appear + A month, within the circling year. + + A.

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 www.gutenberg.org/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: www.gutenberg.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For forty 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: + + 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. diff --git a/old/44342-8.zip b/old/44342-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..c375fe8 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/44342-8.zip diff --git a/old/44342-h.zip b/old/44342-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..35c46c3 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/44342-h.zip diff --git a/old/44342-h/44342-h.htm b/old/44342-h/44342-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6891d63 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/44342-h/44342-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,1297 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> + <head> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" /> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" /> + <title> + The Project Gutenberg eBook of Classical Enigmas, adapted to every month +in the year, composed from the English and Roman Histories, Heathen Mythology, and names of +famous writers, by Anne Ritson. + </title> +<link rel="coverpage" href="images/cover.jpg" /> + <style type="text/css"> + +body {margin-left: 20%;

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 information page at www.gutenberg.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 www.gutenberg.org/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: www.gutenberg.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For forty 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: + + 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/old/44342-h/images/001.jpg b/old/44342-h/images/001.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index

DARTON, 58, HOLBORN-HILL. + + 1811. + + + + + CLASSICAL ENIGMAS, _&c._ + + +[Aries] + + Name the _Queen_ of Old England, whose bigotted zeal, + Made her subjects the terrors of Popery feel, + Then that glorious example of goodness and grace, + The last _Sovereign_, who reign'd, of the true Stuart race. + The _King_, who unjustly the sceptre to gain, + Had his friends, and his kindred most cruelly slain. + Next _him_, whom the puritan party dethron'd, + And whose faults, by the loss of his head was atton'd. + Now name that bold _King_, who threw off the yoke + Treating the Pope, and his Bulls as a joke: + Who not from religion, but whimsey of passion, + Declar'd, that the Bible should come into fashion. + Place these Monarchs together, the first letters take, + When a Month in the year, they'll certainly make. + + A. R. + +[Illustration] + + +[Sagittarius] + + That _Monster of Rome_, who no equal can claim, + For the crimes that for ever, have blacken'd his name. + _Augustus's sister_, great Anthony's wife, + Whom he left for that beauty, who cost him his life. + The _Emperor_, who thought it improper to lay, + When death call'd his soul from his body away, + Determin'd the summons undaunted to meet, + And was plac'd by his courtiers erect on his feet. + That _Prince_ whom the Romans delighted to name, + As first of their race, tho' from Venus he came. + That _Emperor_ gigantic, who for his ring chose + A bracelet, the wrist of his wife could enclose. + The harsh _Roman Father_, who sternly sat by + To condemn, and behold, his own children die. + The _conquer'd_, whom first Cincinnatus did doom + To pass through the yoke, for contending with Rome. + Last one of the _Twins_, who was nurs'd by a goat, + Yet founded old Rome, that great city of note. + Now take the _initials_, and put them together, + They'll tell you a month, that has often wet weather. + + A. R. + + +[Libra] + + The _Grecian_ fam'd for strength of lungs, + And voice as loud, as fifty tongues; + The _Nymph_, who answers every tone, + And sigh for sigh, when your're alone; + The _Man_ who boldly did aspire, + To steal the sun's etherial fire; + Those _regions dark_, you now may tell, + Where wicked spirits ever dwell; + Then name the _fields of bliss_ below, + Where we are told the happy go; + That _King_, whose vanity appears + Rewarded, with enormous ears; + The _Wind_, whose blustering looks inform, + He rides upon the raging storm; + And the _lov'd wife_, whom stories tell, + Her husband went to seek in hell! + Last name one of the _Judges_ three, + Who bliss, or punishment decree; + On all who pass the Stygian wave, + By Charon ferry'd, king or slave. + Unite all the first letters well, + A month within the year they'll tell. + + A. R. + + +[Capricorn] + + First name me the _Cinque Port_ that's nearest to France, + Where the Despot of Paris, would like to advance; + But he fears with the billows of Neptune to strive, + Well-knowing, he never shall get back alive. + Now an _Island_, where in the same shire you will find + An _University_ large, for great learning design'd; + The _island_ the prayers of a Bishop can claim, + And the _College_ boasts proudly of William Pitt's name. + Then a _College_ in Bucks, founded long time ago, + By Edward the Sixth, as the records will show. + Now the _birth-place_ of Henry the Fifth you may tell, + Who tho' wild as a Prince, as a King govern'd well; + Then name where the crooked backed Richard the Third + Was _conquer'd_, and where they his relics interr'd; + Then _where_ in these modern times it is known, + To view the horse-racing, that Royaltys shown; + Last tell me that _lovely unfortunate fair_, + Whom Henry the Second, protected with care; + Put these names together, perhaps you will find, + They'll tell you a month that to mirth is inclin'd. + + A. R. + + +[Leo] + + Take the _writer_, whose size both of body and mind, + Were much more gigantic, than common you'll find, + Whose brains were employ'd for the good of the age, + And perfect the language, you find in each page, + Whether out with his Rambler, you venture to roam, + Or stay with his Rasselas, shut up at home. + When tired of his numbers, I'd have you to name, + A _Bishop_ of Ireland, recorded by fame, + Whose writings will ever be held in esteem, + By those who make sacred religion their theme. + Next remember the _writer_, whose delicate lay, + Deserv'd from Apollo, a chaplet of Bay; + Who in Hagley's sweet groves, for his Lucy did mourn, + And wept with true sorrow long over his urn. + There is none but poor Shaw, with his numbers can vie, + Who so sweetly laments that his Emma should die. + Then last name the _Poet_, whose anguish and grief, + Seeks in sorrowful verses some little relief, + Who o'er his Narcissa, so young, and so fair, + Laments in a language, uncommon, and rare. + Place these sons of Parnassus, in proper array, + And they'll tell you a month that is cheerful and gay. + + A. R. + + +[Aquarius] + + The _God_ whom Artists always grace, + By giving him a double face: + The _food_ divine, that's eat on high, + By all the inmates of the sky; + Also the _Liquor_, drank above, + Which Hebe hands, to mighty Jove; + _He_, who for fair Calypso's smile, + Forgot his wife, and native isle: + Now Thetis' _son_, who chose the strife, + Of warlike fame, instead of life: + That _island_, where we're always told, + The brass Colossus stood of old: + The _time_, no efforts can regain, + Tho' oft we spend its hours in vain. + Take the first letters and they'll tell + A month, when firing pleases well. + + A. R. + +[Illustration] + + +[Cancer] + + The _King_, who was forc'd Magna Charta to sign, + Or his crown and kingdom, for ever resign. + The _term_ which fair Scotland, with England did join, + And the Roses and Thistles, agree to entwine. + No king can I find, who will give my next letter, + So think of an _Admiral_, can you do better? + Then speak of the Trafalgar Hero whose name, + Stands high in the records, of glory and fame. + Then the pride of Old England, that _Queen_ who alone, + Well guarded her rights, and protected her throne. + If you join the initials, perhaps you will find, + A Month in the year, when bright Phoebus is kind. + + A. R. + +[Illustration] + + +[Taurus] + + The _first Roman Emperor_, whose forty years sway, + His people with pleasure, could always obey. + The _General_, whom Caesar contrived to annoy. + And occasion his army in terror to fly, + By desiring his soldiers, their faces to wound, + Which soon made the combatants vacate the ground. + That _Roman_, whose firmness no sufferings could move, + Tho' destin'd the cruellest torments to prove. + The name of that _Horse_, whose vile master did say, + He wish'd he all Romans, could kill in a day. + The fair Roman _Matron_, whose cause to espouse, + The long smother'd spirit of Brutus did rouse. + These names plac'd aright, the first letters will tell, + A month in the year, most people love well. + + A. R. + +[Illustration] + + +[Pisces] + + The fickle _Goddess_, false and blind, + To some profuse, to more unkind: + The _Shepherd_, who on Latmos height, + Was courted by the Queen of night; + The _Maid_, for whom Achilles swore, + He'd aid the Grecian cause no more: + _Jove's mother_ name, and _Saturn's wife_, + Who fled to save her infant life: + _He_, who when feigning madness try'd, + With care to turn the plough aside, + Nor o'er that furrow bend its way, + Where he beheld his infant lay. + The _Queen_, whom Jove with love assail'd, + And in the husband's form prevail'd; + The _King_, whose horses Diomed, + And grave Ulysses captive led; + And now conclude with that _blest time_, + We should enjoy, while in its prime. + So place the initials, and they'll say, + A month, not quite so warm as May. + + A. R. + + +[Scorpio] + + I would have you that great _University_ name, + From whence many good scholars, have risen to fame; + Then _where William the Conqueror_, rested in peace, + And all his vexations in this world, did cease; + Then tell me the _River_, on whose verdant sides, + The noble, the merchant, the trader resides, + Whose opulent stream wild meandring flows, + Well laden with riches, to proud London goes: + Then _where_, the best medicine is to be had, + For those who are bitten, by dogs raving mad. + The fam'd _Wells_ in Derbyshire, which we are told, + Tho' close by each other, are one hot, t'other cold: + That _commotion_, which troubles the bowels of earth + And causes confusion, when 'ere it bursts forth; + Then a _place_ name in Berkshire, where Henry the first + Lays quietly resting, that Fates done her worst. + Join the first letters together, and soon they will make + A month, when its pleasant a ramble to take. + + A.

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 information page at www.gutenberg.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.

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 www.gutenberg.org/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: www.gutenberg.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For forty 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: + + 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. diff --git a/old/44342.zip b/old/44342.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..9d0e105 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/44342.zip |
