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 https://www.pglaf.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works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment.

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 https://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.

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 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: + + https://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/7556-h/images/cover.jpg b/7556-h/images/cover.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..536e2d6 --- /dev/null +++ b/7556-h/images/cover.jpg diff --git a/7556-h/images/enlarge.jpg b/7556-h/images/enlarge.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..34c47df --- /dev/null +++ b/7556-h/images/enlarge.jpg diff --git a/7556-h/images/twain-1880.jpg b/7556-h/images/twain-1880.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..e760bec --- /dev/null +++ b/7556-h/images/twain-1880.jpg diff --git a/7556-h/images/twain-bed.jpg b/7556-h/images/twain-bed.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..a12541f --- /dev/null +++ b/7556-h/images/twain-bed.jpg diff --git a/7556-h/images/twain-birth.jpg b/7556-h/images/twain-birth.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..fa0278d --- /dev/null +++ b/7556-h/images/twain-birth.jpg diff --git a/7556-h/images/twain-elmira.jpg b/7556-h/images/twain-elmira.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..6c0f9c3 --- /dev/null +++ b/7556-h/images/twain-elmira.jpg diff --git a/7556-h/images/twain-england.jpg b/7556-h/images/twain-england.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..a4064b9 --- /dev/null +++ b/7556-h/images/twain-england.jpg diff --git a/7556-h/images/twain-oxford.jpg b/7556-h/images/twain-oxford.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..a3fccb0 --- /dev/null +++ b/7556-h/images/twain-oxford.jpg diff --git a/7556-h/images/twain-porch.jpg b/7556-h/images/twain-porch.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..37fd1d4 --- /dev/null +++ b/7556-h/images/twain-porch.jpg diff --git a/7556-h/images/twain-smoking.jpg b/7556-h/images/twain-smoking.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..916ea1e --- /dev/null +++ b/7556-h/images/twain-smoking.jpg diff --git a/7556-h/images/twain-white.jpg b/7556-h/images/twain-white.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..d3f32a5 --- /dev/null +++ b/7556-h/images/twain-white.jpg diff --git a/7556-h/images/twain1.jpg b/7556-h/images/twain1.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..963d4f4 --- /dev/null +++ b/7556-h/images/twain1.jpg diff --git a/7556.txt b/7556.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..829fafc --- /dev/null +++ b/7556.txt @@ -0,0 +1,976 @@ +The Project Gutenberg EBook of Quotes and Images From The Works of Mark +Twain, by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens), Edited and Arranged by David Widger + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

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 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.net + +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> |
