Crown 8vo, -cloth gilt, 3s. 6d. - - =Daily Telegraph.=--“He writes fluently, and he has genuine - enthusiasm for his subject, and an intimate acquaintance with - his work. Moreover, the book has been submitted to Mr Kipling, - whose characteristic letter to the author is set forth on the - preface.… Of Kipling’s heroes Mr Monkshood has a thorough - understanding, and his remarks on them are worth quoting” - (extract follows). - - =Globe.=--“It has at the basis of it both knowledge and - enthusiasm--knowledge of the works estimated and enthusiasm for - them. This book may be accepted as a generous exposition of Mr - Kipling’s merits as a writer. We can well believe that it will - have many interested and approving readers.” - - =Scotsman.=--“This well-informed volume is plainly sincere. It - is thoroughly well studied, and takes pains to answer all the - questions that are usually put about Mr Kipling. The writer’s - enthusiasm carries both himself and his reader along in the - most agreeable style. One way and another his book is full of - interest, and those who wish to talk about Kipling will find it - invaluable, while the thousands of his admirers will read it - through with delighted enthusiasm.” - -=_Bret Harte:_= a Treatise and a Tribute.

Edgar Pemberton’s book. There are not many authors, - alas! that would bear study at close range, but here certainly - is one where knowledge of his early struggles and trials will - only increase our affection and interest in the man himself and - his stories. Mr Pemberton has shown in this book the qualities - of an ideal biographer. His touch is light, his figure stands - clear, and we find in his work a strong human note we learned - long years ago to associate with the creator of M’Liss.” - -=_Algernon Charles Swinburne._= A Study.

Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d. - - =Daily News.=--“Mr Wratislaw’s work is always dignified and - eloquent, and not without critical acuteness.” - - =Review of the Week.=--“It is not only a study, it is an - entertainment. It has dignity and no dulness.… Though an - appreciation, it is not an exaggeration. The summing up, though - masterly, is not tyrannical. It is concise and sufficient, and - is as artistically written as artistically informed. Author - and publisher have combined to make the book one not only to - peruse, but to possess. The price is more than moderate, the - _format_ more than presentable.” - - =Court Circular.=--“This little volume forms an excellent - handbook to his (Swinburne’s) writing. It is not simply - an eulogy, but rather a discriminate appreciation and a - loving analysis of the poet’s works, which are dealt with - chronologically as they were published. The exposition helps - greatly to elucidate many of the poems, and the criticisms are - fair and unbiassed. Those who know their Swinburne well will - find a new pleasure in the poems after reading this book, and - those who have hitherto been deterred from studying him are - put in possession of a golden key to unlock the gateway of an - enchanted garden. Mr Wratislaw has fulfilled his task ably and - well, and has earned the gratitude of all lovers of English - poetry.” - - * * * * * - -VOLUMES OF E. W. O. T.

The style - is nervous and vivid, and the critical acumen displayed of a - high order.… The criticisms are a valuable contribution to - dramatic literature, and will be read with great interest by - all playgoers.” - - =Glasgow Herald.=--“The dramatic critic’s vivid impressions and - subtle analysis enable us to compare the varied interpretations - which dramatic genius have put upon Shakespeare’s great - creation. They will make interesting reading for the student - as well as the playgoer, for Mr Scott does not fail to note - deviations from this or that text, and departures from - traditional ‘points’ and hackneyed effects.” - -=_“Sisters by the Sea.”_= Seaside and Country Sketches.

Crown 8vo, cloth -gilt, 3s. 6d. - - =Daily Graphic.=--“A fascinating work in which Captain Mayne - Reid’s life is carefully and sympathetically sketched.” - - =World.=--“The career of this popular writer was adventurous - and thrilling, and Mrs Mayne Reid tells in the most - entertaining manner the literary history of her husband and - the eventful incidents of his career.

Crown -8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d. - - =Daily Chronicle.=--“We take pleasure in commending the book - because of its freshness and genuine excellence.

There is undoubted fascination - in his pages.” - - =Outlook.=--“Well written and decidedly entertaining. It - is to be hoped that Mr Taber may produce another series of - characteristic stories, as direct in their appeal to the - sympathy as are these.” - - =Literature.=--“Fresh and uncommon. Mr Taber really gets the - Arctic atmosphere and feeling into his work.” - -=_Woman:_= A Study and Defence. Adapted from the French of ALFRED -FOUILLÉE by the Rev. T. A. SEED. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 2s. 6d. - - =Review of the Week.=--“An interesting little book.

It is the work of a writer - who evidently has a most intimate knowledge of the criminal - classes, and who can carry on a plain narrative briskly and - forcibly. The book fascinates by its freshness and unusualness.” - - =Liverpool Review.=--“This is no fanciful production, but - a clear, dispassionate revelation of the dodges of the - professional criminal. Illustrated by numerous pen and ink - sketches, Mr Power-Berrey’s excellent work is useful as well - as interesting, for it will certainly not assist the common - pilferer to have all his little tricks made public property in - this lucid and easily-rememberable style.” - -=_The Art of Elocution_= and Public Speaking.

Seven stories are retold, some from the Old, some - from the New Testament. To certain tastes they may seem too - elaborately wrought, the author evidently relishes what is - gorgeous, and his descriptions of Potiphar’s house are very - richly inlaid with ornament, but whatever be the judgment of - readers in this respect, there can be no question as to the - effective realism of the narratives. Certainly some of the - stories will convey both to children and adults fresh and - memorable conceptions of Biblical scenes.” - - - - -MARIE CORELLI - - -=_Patriotism or Self-Advertisement?_= A Social Note on the Transvaal War, -1899-1900.

The - action is rapid, there are no diffuse vapourings, and there is - ample scope for attractive scenic effect.” - - =Independent= (Sheffield).--“The Assyrian setting makes a novel - background, and there is movement and some striking situations - in the play.” - -=_Ideal Physical Culture_=, And the Truth about the Strong Man. By -APOLLO (the Scottish Hercules and Sandow’s Challenger). Fourth Edition. -Profusely illustrated, cloth, 2s. 6d. - - =To-day.=--“It is a very sensible book, and Apollo knows what - he is talking about.” - - =County Gentleman.=--“Will prove useful to aspiring young - athletes.” - - =Westminster Gazette.=--“Those who take an interest in Physical - Culture will find the manual instructive and useful.” - - =Football Echo.=--“‘Ideal Physical Culture’ scatters to the - wind much of the nonsense and bunkum written _ad nauseam_ about - the strong man, his biceps, his triceps, the muscular fat, and - his stupendous feats.” - -=_The Year Book of the Stage._= Being an annual record of criticisms of -all the important productions of the English Stage, with copious Index -and complete Cast of each Play recorded.

By T. WEST CARNIE. -Illustrated by W. S. ROGERS. Long 12mo, cloth, 1s. - - =Observer.=--“That East Anglia exercises a very potent spell - over those who once come under its influence is proved by the - case of George Borrow, and all who share in the fascination - will delight in this brightly written, companionable little - volume.” - - =Graphic.=--“It is a prettily got up and readable little book.” - - =Saturday Review.=--“Will be welcomed by all who have come - under the charm of East Anglia.” - -=_A Man Adrift._= Being Leaves from a Nomad’s Portfolio. By BART KENNEDY, -Author of “Darab’s Wine-Cup,” “The Wandering Romanoff,” etc. This very -entertaining book is a narrative of adventures in all parts of the world. -Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s. - - Mr ANDREW LANG, in the course of a long and laudatory notice - in =Longman’s Magazine=, said:--“It is a strange photograph - of rude and violent life. The narrator always carries his - life in his fist. He describes, better than any other writer, - the existence of a tramp, and gives an amazing account of the - brutality, and even torture, practised on workers in some - parts of the United States.… The book is as simple in style - as Swift’s writing; a kind of labouring Trelawny might have - fathered these _adventures of a younger son_.” - - Mr RICHARD LE GALLIENNE (in the =Idler=).--“‘A Man Adrift’ - has held me as few recent books have power to do. The book is - ‘real’ because it has first been really lived, and then been - really written. Mr Kennedy’s book has held me, not only by - its reality, but by its courage, its pity, its humour, its - all-embracing humanity, its quiet fierceness. ‘A Man Adrift’ is - a brave book.” - - =Morning Leader.=--“The record of an adventurous life, when - well told, always appeals to the imagination and sympathy of - the reader, and ‘A Man Adrift’ is such a record. Presumably the - adventures are real; they have all the vividness of reality at - all events, and one follows the hardships and wanderings of the - narrator with keen interest.… Mr Kennedy is to be congratulated - on his ‘Man Adrift.’” - - =County Gentleman.=--“This is the book of a strong man. It has - vigour, originality and power, and comes as a refreshing change - after the maudlin sentimentality of most modern stories.… Mr - Kennedy has a characteristic style. He writes in short, crisp - sentences that are at once direct and fearless. It is mainly - his own story that he tells in this strangely fascinating - volume.” - -=_Woman and the Wits._= Epigrams on Woman, Love, and Beauty. Collected -and edited by G. F. MONKSHOOD, Author of “Rudyard Kipling: The Man and -His Work,” “Lady Ruby,” etc. New and revised edition.

He has a graceful touch and a tuneful ear. There is - exquisite melody in his metre.” - - =Times.=--“He has passion and energy enough to stock half a - dozen average minor poets.… But he has in him something of the - stuff of which poetry--as opposed to verse--is made.” - - =Court Circular.=--“Unquestionably a poet of a very high - order--musical, suggestive, imaginative and picturesque. ‘In - the Times to come’ is a beautiful poem, full of suggestion, - with a subtle melody of its own. How well Mr Longstaff can - write is seen in ‘A Hopeless Dawn.’ It is the work of a true - poet. Mr Longstaff’s poems deserve more extended notice. - There is art in his work, and music; and his verse is full of - promise. Mr Longstaff’s muse is frank and sincere, and many of - his readers will forgive her for not posing as a prude.” - -=_Ballads of Ghostly Shires._= By GEORGE BARTRAM, Author of “The People -of Clopton,” “The White-headed Boy,” etc. Dedication accepted by Theodore -Watts-Dunton.

He is not without sentiment, and his lyrical - pieces will be heartily appreciated.” - - =Morning Leader.=--“There is some good stuff and not a little - quaint feeling in the verses of Rupert Upperton.” - - =St Andrew’s.=--“Many a simple soul--and there are millions of - such in our land--utterly unable to appreciate the poetry of - the critics, will find itself charmed, purified and elevated - by the kindly muse of Mr Upperton. Messrs Greening & Co. have - done their work well, and enshrined these ‘woodnotes wild’ in a - beautiful piece of letterpress.” - - - - -HER MAJESTY’S EDITION - - -=_Rip Van Winkle_=, together with “THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW.” By -WASHINGTON IRVING, and the Complete Literary and Theatrical History of -the Story by S.

The characters are cleverly drawn. There are, - of course, trials, and the lights and shadows of a woman’s - troubled career, but what love story was ever written without - its trials and the inevitable ‘all’s well’? In the case of ‘Ira - Lorraine’ the end is satisfactory.” - -=A Comedy of Temptation;= or, The Amateur Fiend. A Tale.

The - account of the household of Mr Merridew, the irrepressible, if - impecunious, optimist who named all his numerous progeny after - famous commanders and authors, is really delightful.” - -=The Weird Well.= A Tale of To-day.

But many of the scenes are strong in - themselves, cleverly arranged, and treated with power and - reticence.… There are occasional faults, but the tenderness - with which Mary Paul’s self-sacrifice is recorded, makes us - inclined to condone them and to congratulate the author.” - -=A Social Upheaval.= An Unconventional Dramatic Satirical Tale. By -ISIDORE G. ASCHER, Author of “An Odd Man’s Story,” “The Doom of Destiny,” -etc. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 6s. - - =Daily Telegraph.=--“The hero is an interesting dreamer, - absorbed in his schemes, which are his one weakness. To women, - save when they can further the good of his cause, he is - obdurate; in business, strong, energetic and powerful. He is - shown to us as the man with a master mind and one absorbing - delusion, and as such is a pathetic figure. No one can dispute - the prodigality and liveliness of the author’s imagination; his - plot teems with striking incidents.” - - =Vanity Fair.=--“The story tells itself very clearly in three - hundred pages of very pleasant and entertaining reading. The - men and women we meet are not the men and women we really come - across in this world. So much the better for us. But we are - delighted to read about them, for all that; and we prophesy - success for Mr Ascher’s book, particularly as he has taken the - precaution of telling us that he is ‘only in fun.’” - -=A Cry in the Night.= An exciting Detective Story.

Old hands as we are at - these things, we were for a long time completely baffled by - the plot as the most wooden-headed detective of fiction.… It - is an excellent book of its particular kind. Mr Golsworthy - has succeeded admirably in the careful, clever, amusing - character-drawing of an odd group of subsidiary folk. These - are very human people who stick in the mind after the book is - closed.” - -=A Dead Woman’s Vow.= A Powerful Story. By EMILE ZOLA. Translated by -Count S. C. de SOISSONS.

Crown 8vo, art -cloth, gilt, 3s. 6d. - - =Public Opinion.=--“This novel is a daring attack. The author, - whoever he may be, is a clever writer, and the pictures of the - seamy side of idle London life are described by him with vivid - power.” - - =The Outlook.=--“Something wrong-headed, sensual, and Corellian - is anticipated, nor is one disappointed.… Bound to command the - public.” - - =Christian World.=--“A pungent, cleverly-written, and - altogether out-of-the-common-rut Society novel. The author - unsparingly exposes the ‘little ways’ of smart people.… Every - _sane_ reader will wish the author success in his efforts - to expose the hollowness and rottenness of ‘aristocratic - _virtuous_ London.’” - - =The North Star.=--“The book is of a most daring character, - but the author has treated his theme in a very clever manner.… - Messrs W. H. Smith & Son refuse to circulate ‘Shams,’ objecting - to it on moral grounds. This act on their part, however, will - not greatly interfere with the sale of the book, which really - castigates vice. We believe it will be as widely read as the - works of Ouida and Marie Corelli.” - -=Romance Of a Harem.= Translated from the French of “Dans L’ombre du -Harem” by CLARENCE FORESTIER-WALKER.

By HENRY HERMAN, Author of -“Eagle Joe,” “Scarlet Fortune,” etc., and Joint Author of the “Silver -King,” “Claudian.” Crown 8vo, art cloth, 6s. - - =Vanity Fair= says:--“The hand that wrote the ‘Silver King’ has - by no means lost its cunning in painting broad effects of light - and shadow. The description of life in Broadmoor is, we fancy, - done from actual observation. It is quite new.” And the critic - of =Black and White= sums it up pithily as “A story which holds - our attention and interests us right from the first chapter. - The book is as exciting as even a story of sensation has any - need to be.” Speaking of the scene of Mr Herman’s drama, the - beautiful county of Devonshire, where the greater part of the - story takes place, the =Manchester Courier= says: “The author’s - descriptive powers vividly portray the lovely spots by the - winding Tamar, while the rich dialect of the district is so - faithfully reproduced as to become not the least feature of an - exciting tale.” - -=Outrageous Fortune.= Being the Confessions of Evelyn Gray, Hospital -Nurse. A Story founded on fact, proving that truth is stranger than -fiction. Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d. - - =Liverpool Review.=--“A smart, anonymous novel. The story is - capitally written, and is extremely interesting. Evelyn Gray’s - adventures are narrated in a style so realistic as to leave the - impression that the writer is either a medical man or one who - has had very intimate acquaintance with hospital life.” - - =Lloyd’s.=--“A strong book, and one that readers will find - interesting. It is undoubtedly clever and well written.” - - =Daily Graphic.=--“The characters are cleverly drawn, and the - revelations of hospital life, of private nursing, and of the - manners and customs of the ‘celibate’ clergy should ensure the - volume considerable popularity.” - -=Seven Nights with Satan.= A Novel. By J. L. OWEN, Author of “The Great -Jekyll Diamond.” Cover designed by W. S. ROGERS. Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d. - - =St James’s Gazette.=--“We have read the book from start to - finish with unflagging interest--an interest, by the way, which - derives nothing from the ‘spice,’ for though its title may be - suggestive of Zolaism, there is not a single passage which is - open to objection. The literary style is good.” - - =Truth.=--“I much prefer the ghastly story ‘Seven Nights with - Satan,’ a very clever study of degeneration.” - -=The Green Passion.= The Study of a Jealous Soul. A Powerful Novel. By -ANTHONY P. VERT. Cover designed by ALFRED PRAGA. Crown 8vo, art cloth, -3s. 6d. - - Mr DOUGLAS SLADEN in =The Queen=.--“A remarkably clever book.… - There is no disputing the ability with which the writer handles - her subject. I say _her_ subject, because the minuteness of - the touches, and the odd, forcible style in which this book - is written, point to it being the work of a female hand. The - book is an eminently readable one, and it is never dull for a - minute.” - - =The Monitor.=--“A wonderful piece of writing. The only modern - parallel we can find is supplied in Mr F. C. Philipps’s ‘As in - a Looking Glass.’” - - =Whitehall Review.=--“In ‘The Green Passion’ the author traces - with much ability, and not a little analytical insight, the - progress of jealousy in the breast of a woman who is born - with a very ‘intense,’ although not a very deep, nature.… - There is in Mr Vert’s work a certain tendency towards realism - which has its due effect in making his characters real. They - are no loosely-built fancies of the journalistic brain, but - portraits--almost snapshot portraits--of men and women of - to-day.” - -=An Idol of Bronze.= An Exciting Novel of Life in Western America. By -LOUISE PALMER HEAVEN, Author of “Chata and Chinita?” Crown 8vo, cloth, -3s. 6d. - -=Our Lady of the Ice.= An Interesting Story of Alpine Adventure. By Miss -CONSTANCE SUTCLIFFE.

By CLEMENT SCOTT, Author of “The Wheel -of Life,” “Sisters by the Sea,” etc. Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d. - - =Punch.=--“‘Madonna Mia’ is genuinely interesting. All the - stories are good; you are ‘Scott free’ to pick ’em where you - like.” (The Baron de B. W.) - - =Weekly Sun.=--“Shows Mr Scott’s sturdy character-painting and - love of picturesque adventure.” - - =World.=--“Clement Scott is nothing if not sympathetic, and - every one of the ten stories is not only thoroughly readable, - but is instinct with sentiment; for Mr Scott still retains - a wonderful enthusiasm, usually the attribute of youth. - ‘Drifting’ is a very fresh and convincing narrative, founded, - we understand, upon truth, and containing within a small - compass the materials for a very stirring drama. ‘A Cross of - Heather,’ too, is a charming romance, told with real pathos and - feeling.” - -=The Dolomite Cavern.= An Exciting Tale of Adventure. By W. PATRICK -KELLY, Author of “Schoolboys Three,” etc. Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d. - - =Observer.=--“A story full of exciting adventure.” - - =Saturday Review.=--“The plot is ingenious, and the style - pleasant.” - - =Daily Telegraph.=--“Lovers of the sensational in fiction - will find abundance of congenial entertainment in Mr W. P. - Kelly’s new story. In the way of accessories to startling - situations all is fish that comes to this ingenious author’s - net. The wonders of primitive nature, the marvels of latter-day - science, the extravagances of human passion--all these he - dexterously uses for the purpose of involving his hero in - perilous scrapes from which he no less dexterously extricates - him by expedients which, however far-fetched they may appear - to the unimaginative, are certainly not lacking in originality - of device or cleverness of construction.… This is a specimen - incident--those which succeed it derive their special interest - from the action of Rontgen rays, subterranean torrents, and - devastating inundations.

By CHAS. -L’EPINE, Author of “The Devil in a Domino.” A new edition. Crown 8vo, art -cloth, 6s. - - =Public Opinion.=--“A remarkable book.… We are plunged into a - delicious and tantalising romance; incident follows incident - like a panorama of exciting pictures. Fertility of imagination - is everywhere apparent, and the _dénouement_ is artfully - concealed till it bursts upon the reader with a suddenness that - fairly takes away his breath.” - - =Liverpool Post.=--“A very skilfully-constructed story, - mysterious and strange, with a natural explanation suggested - of all the mystery which does not spoil one’s enjoyment - (here follows analysis of plot). This is the bare outline of - the story up to a certain point; it is impossible to convey - adequately an idea of the awe-inspiring characteristics of the - story.

There is human nature in it, and passion, of a kind: - tragedy too.… We should say, ‘Read the book by all means.’” - - =Echo.=--“Its general air of out-Bourget-ing Bourget. You will - ‘see life’ in its story, no doubt, for it has a measure of - pathos, insight and power, but most certainly you will not see - life steadily.” - - =Morning Leader.=--“Vivid with the strange lusts and cruel - desires of an imagination enslaved to the body … powerful - enough in the imaginative treatment of the characters.… The - luridness is simply Titanic.” - -=_In Monte Carlo._= A Tale by HENRYK SIENKIEWICZ, Author of “Quo Vadis,” -“With Fire and Sword,” etc., etc. Translated by S.

Crown 8vo, 1s. - - =Literary World.=--“We do not remember having read a book - that possessed the quality of _grip_ in a greater degree than - is the case with ‘Death and the Woman.’… Every page of every - chapter develops the interest, which culminates in one of the - most sensational _dénouements_ it has been our lot to read. - The flavour of actuality is not destroyed by any incredible - incident; it is the inevitable thing that always happens. - ‘Death and the Woman’ will supply to the brim the need of those - in search of a holding drama of modern London life.” - -=_The Fellow-Passengers._= A Mystery and its Solution.

Adair Fitz-Gerald, has - already shown himself to be the possessor of a store of humour, - on which he has again drawn for the furnishing of the little - volume he has just put together. Among the tales included are - several which might be suitable for reading or recitation, and - none which are dull. Mr Fitz-Gerald frankly addresses himself - to that portion of the public which desires nothing so much as - to be amused, and likes even its amusements in small doses. - Such a public will entertain itself very pleasantly with Mr - Fitz-Gerald’s lively tales, and will probably name as its - favourites those titled ‘Pure Cussedness,’ ‘Splidgings’ First - Baby,’ and ‘The Blue-blooded Coster.’” - -=_Rip Van Winkle_=, together with “THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW.” By -WASHINGTON IRVING.

Crown 8vo, -cloth, 2s. 6d. - - =Sheffield Daily Telegraph.=--“Anyone who wants a good laugh - should get ‘The Pottle Papers.’ They are very droll reading - for an idle afternoon, or picking up at any time when ‘down - in the dumps.’ They are very brief and very bright, and it is - impossible for anyone with the slightest sense of humour to - read the book without bursting into ‘the loud guffaw’ which - does not always ‘bespeak the empty mind.’” - - =Pall Mall Gazette.=--“It contains plenty of boisterous - humour of the Max Adeler kind … humour that is genuine and - spontaneous. The author, for all his antics, has a good deal - more in him than the average buffoon. There is, for example, - a very clever and subtle strain of feeling running through - the comedy in ‘The Love that Burned’--a rather striking bit - of work. Mr Raven Hill’s illustrations are as amusing as they - always are.” - -=_The Pottle’s Progress._= Being the Further Adventures of Mr and Mrs -Pottle.

One is, - as a rule, inclined to laugh too rarely with the joking poet, - and sigh often at the pity of his hideous staleness. Mr Spurr - is the exception. His unostentatious rhymes abound in neat - literary turns, brim with good humour, and jig to a natural - sprightliness. He can pass, too, the test of persistent punning - without causing the gorge of the reader to rise. In brief, he - is a really humorous versifier, and the illustrator of his - work has happily caught his spirit. A man who can turn out in - thirty-two lines twenty-five puns on cricket, and work in a - love story too, may be regarded as having shouldered the mantle - of Hood.” - -=_That Fascinating Widow._= By S.

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 not protected by copyright 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. - |
