The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Thecua: which he +saw concerning Israel in the days of Ozias king of Juda, and in the days +of Jeroboam the son of Joas king of Israel two years before the +earthquake. + +The earthquake... Many understand this of a great earthquake, which they +say was felt at the time that king Ozias attempted to offer incense in +the temple. But the best chronologists prove that the earthquake here +spoken of must have been before that time: because Jeroboam the second, +under whom Amos prophesied, was dead long before that attempt of Ozias. + +1:2. And he said: The Lord will roar from Sion, and utter his voice from +Jerusalem: and the beautiful places of the shepherds have mourned, and +the top of Carmel is withered. + +1:3. Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four I +will not convert it: because they have thrashed Galaad with iron wains. + +For three crimes-and for four... That is, for their many unrepented of +crimes.-Ibid. I will not convert it... That is, I will not spare them, +nor turn away the punishments I design to inflict upon them. + +1:4. And I will send a fire into the house of Azael, and it shall devour +the houses of Benadad. + +1:5. And I will break the bar of Damascus: and I will cut off the +inhabitants from the plain of the idol, and him that holdeth the sceptre +from the house of pleasure: and the people of Syria shall be carried +away to Cyrene, saith the Lord. + +1:6. Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four I will +not convert it: because they have carried away a perfect captivity to +shut them up in Edom. + +1:7. And I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour the +houses thereof. + +1:8. And I will cut off the inhabitant from Azotus, and him that holdeth +the sceptre from Ascalon: and I will turn my hand against Accaron, and +the rest of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord God. + +1:9. Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four I will +not convert it: because they have shut up an entire captivity in Edom, +and have not remembered the covenant of brethren. + +1:10. And I will send a fire upon the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour +the houses thereof. + +1:11. Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four I will +not convert him: because he hath pursued his brother with the sword, and +hath carried on his fury, and hath kept his wrath to the end. + +1:12. I will send a fire into Theman: and it shall devour the houses of +Bosra. + +1:13. Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of the children of Ammon, +and for four I will not convert him: because he hath ripped up the women +with child of Galaad to enlarge his border. + +1:14. And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabba: and it shall devour +the houses thereof with shouting in the day of battle, and with a +whirlwind in the day of trouble. + +1:15. And Melchom shall go into captivity, both he, and his princes +together, saith the Lord. + +Melchom... The god or idol of the Ammonites, otherwise called Moloch, +and Melech: which in Hebrew signifies a king, and Melchom their king. + +Amos Chapter 2 + +The judgments with which God threatens Moab, Juda, and Israel for their +sins, and their ingratitude. + +2:1. Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Moab, and for four I will +not convert him: because he hath burnt the bones of the king of Edom +even to ashes. + +2:2. And I will send a fire into Moab, and it shall devour the houses of +Carioth: and Moab shall die with a noise, with the sound of the trumpet: + +2:3. And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay +all his princes with him, saith the Lord. + +2:4. Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Juda, and for four I will +not convert him: because he hath cast away the law of the Lord, and hath +not kept his commandments: for their idols have caused them to err, +after which their fathers have walked. + +2:5. And I will send a fire into Juda, and it shall devour the houses of +Jerusalem. + +2:6. Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Israel, and for four I +will not convert him: because he hath sold the just man for silver, and +the poor man for a pair of shoes. + +2:7. They bruise the heads of the poor upon the dust of the earth, and +turn aside the way of the humble: and the son and his father have gone +to the same young woman, to profane my holy name. + +2:8. And they sat down upon garments laid to pledge by every altar: and +drank the wine of the condemned in the house of their God. + +2:9. Yet I cast out the Amorrhite before their face: whose height was +like the height of cedars, and who was strong as an oak: and I destroyed +his fruit from above, and his roots beneath. + +2:10. It is I that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and I led +you forty years through the wilderness, that you might possess the land +of the Amorrhite. + +2:11. And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men +for Nazarites. Is it not so, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord? + +2:12. And you will present wine to the Nazarites: and command the +prophets, saying: Prophesy not. + +2:13. Behold, I will screak under you as a wain screaketh that is laden +with hay. + +I will screak... Unable to bear any longer the enormous load of your +sins, etc. The spirit of God, as St. Jerome takes notice, accommodates +himself to the education of the prophet and inspires him with +comparisons taken from country affairs. + +2:14. And flight shall perish from the swift, and the valiant shall not +possess his strength, neither shall the strong save his life. + +2:15. And he that holdeth the bow shall not stand, and the swift of foot +shall not escape, neither shall the rider of the horse save his life. + +2:16. And the stout of heart among the valiant shall flee away naked in +that day, saith the Lord. + +Amos Chapter 3 + +The evils that shall fall upon Israel for their sins. + +3:1. Hear the word that the Lord hath spoken concerning you, O ye +children of Israel: concerning the whole family that I brought up out of +the land of Egypt, saying: + +3:2. You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore +will I visit upon you all your iniquities. + +Visit upon... That is, punish. + +3:3. Shall two walk together except they be agreed? + +3:4. Will a lion roar in the forest, if he have no prey? will the lion's +whelp cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing? + +3:5. Will the bird fall into the snare upon the earth, if there be no +fowler? Shall the snare be taken up from the earth, before it hath taken +somewhat? + +3:6. Shall the trumpet sound in a city, and the people not be afraid? +Shall there be evil in a city, which the Lord hath not done? + +Evil in a city... He speaks of the evil of punishments of war, famine, +pestilence, desolation, etc., but not of the evil of sin, of which God +is not the author. + +3:7. For the Lord God doth nothing without revealing his secret to his +servants the prophets. + +3:8. The lion shall roar, who will not fear? The Lord God hath spoken, +who shall not prophesy? + +3:9. Publish it in the houses of Azotus, and in the houses of the land +of Egypt, and say: Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, +and behold the many follies in the midst thereof, and them that suffer +oppression in the inner rooms thereof. + +3:10. And they have not known to do the right thing, saith the Lord, +storing up iniquity, and robberies in their houses. + +3:11. Therefore thus saith the Lord God: The land shall be in +tribulation, and shall be compassed about: and thy strength shall be +taken away from thee, and thy houses shall be spoiled. + +3:12. Thus saith the Lord: As if a shepherd should get out of the lion's +mouth two legs, or the tip of the ear: so shall the children of Israel +be taken out that dwell in Samaria, in a place of a bed, and in the +couch of Damascus. + +3:13. Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord the God +of hosts: + +3:14. That in the day when I shall begin to visit the transgressions of +Israel, I will visit upon him, and upon the altars of Bethel: and the +horns of the altars shall be cut off, and shall fall to the ground. + +3:15. And I will strike the winter house with the summer house: and the +houses of ivory shall perish, and many houses shall be destroyed, saith +the Lord. + +Amos Chapter 4 + +The Israelites are reproved for their oppressing the poor, for their +idolatry, and their incorrigibleness. + +4:1. Hear this word, ye fat kine that are in the mountains of Samaria: +you that oppress the needy, and crush the poor: that say to your +masters: Bring, and we will drink. + +Fat kine... He means the great ones that lived in plenty and wealth. + +4:2. The Lord God hath sworn by his holiness, that lo, the days shall +come upon you, when they shall lift you up on pikes, and what shall +remain of you in boiling pots. + +4:3. And you shall go out at the breaches one over against the other, +and you shall be cast forth into Armon, saith the Lord. + +Armon... A foreign country; some understand it of Armenia. + +4:4. Come ye to Bethel, and do wickedly: to Galgal, and multiply +transgressions: and bring in the morning your victims, your tithes in +three days. + +4:5. And offer a sacrifice of praise with leaven: and call free +offerings, and proclaim it: for so you would do, O children of Israel, +saith the Lord God. + +4:6. Whereupon I also have given you dulness of teeth in all your +cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet you have not returned +to me, saith the Lord. + +4:7. I also have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three +months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon on city, and caused +it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon: and the +piece whereupon I rained not, withered. + +4:8. And two and three cities went to one city to drink water, and were +not filled: yet you returned not to me, saith the Lord. + +4:9. I struck you with a burning wind, and with mildew, the palmerworm +hath eaten up your many gardens, and your vineyards: your olive groves, +and fig groves: yet you returned not to me, saith the Lord. + +4:10. I sent death upon you in the way of Egypt, I slew your young men +with the sword, even to the captivity of your horses: and I made the +stench of your camp to come up into your nostrils: yet you returned not +to me, saith the Lord. + +4:11. I destroyed some of you, as God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha, and +you were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet you returned not +to me, saith the Lord. + +4:12. Therefore I will do these things to thee, O Israel: and after I +shall have done these things to thee, be prepared to meet thy God, O +Israel. + +4:13. For behold he that formeth the mountains and createth the wind, +and declareth his word to man, he that maketh the morning mist, and +walketh upon the high places of the earth: the Lord the God of hosts is +his name. + +Amos Chapter 5 + +A lamentation for Israel: an exhortation to return to God. + +5:1. Hear ye this word, which I take up concerning you for a +lamentation. The house of Israel is fallen, and it shall rise no more. + +5:2. The virgin of Israel is cast down upon her land, there is none to +raise her up. + +5:3. For thus saith the Lord God: The city, out of which came forth a +thousand, there shall be left in it a hundred: and out of which there +came a hundred, there shall be left in it ten, in the house of Israel. + +5:4. For thus saith the Lord to the house of Israel: Seek ye me, and you +shall live. + +5:5. But seek not Bethel, and go not into Galgal, neither shall you pass +over to Bersabee: for Galgal shall go into captivity, and Bethel shall +be unprofitable. + +Bethel,-Galgal,-Bersabee... The places where they worshipped their +idols. + +5:6. Seek ye the Lord, and live: lest the house of Joseph be burnt with +fire, and it shall devour, and there shall be none to quench Bethel. + +5:7. You that turn judgment into wormwood, and forsake justice in the +land, + +5:8. Seek him that maketh Arcturus, and Orion, and that turneth darkness +into morning, and that changeth day into night: that calleth the waters +of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is +his name. + +Arcturus and Orion... Arcturus is a bright star in the north: Orion a +beautiful constellation in the south. + +5:9. He that with a smile bringeth destruction upon the strong, and +waste upon the mighty. + +With a smile... That is, with all ease, and without making any effort. + +5:10. They have hated him that rebuketh in the gate: and have abhorred +him that speaketh perfectly. + +5:11. Therefore because you robbed the poor, and took the choice prey +from him: you shall build houses with square stone, and shall not dwell +in them: you shall plant most delightful vineyards, and shall not drink +the wine of them. + +5:12. Because I know your manifold crimes, and your grievous sins: +enemies of the just, taking bribes, and oppressing the poor in the gate. + +5:13. Therefore the prudent shall keep silence at that time, for it is +an evil time. + +5:14. Seek ye good, and not evil, that you may live: and the Lord the +God of hosts will be with you, as you have said. + +5:15. Hate evil, and love good, and establish judgment in the gate: it +may be the Lord the God of hosts may have mercy on the remnant of +Joseph. + +5:16. Therefore thus saith the Lord the God of hosts the sovereign Lord: +In every street there shall be wailing: and in all places that are +without, they shall say: Alas, alas! and they shall call the husbandman +to mourning, and such as are skilful in lamentation to lament. + +5:17. And in all vineyards there shall be wailing: because I will pass +through in the midst of thee, saith the Lord. + +5:18. Woe to them that desire the day of the Lord: to what end is it for +you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light. + +5:19. As if a man should flee from the face of a lion, and a bear should +meet him: or enter into the house, and lean with his hand upon the wall, +and a serpent should bite him. + +5:20. Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light: and +obscurity, and no brightness in it? + +5:21. I hate, and have rejected your festivities: and I will not receive +the odour of your assemblies. + +5:22. And if you offer me holocausts, and your gifts, I will not receive +them: neither will I regard the vows of your fat beasts. + +5:23. Take away from me the tumult of thy songs: and I will not hear the +canticles of thy harp. + +5:24. But judgment shall be revealed as water, and justice as a mighty +torrent. + +5:25. Did you offer victims and sacrifices to me in the desert for forty +years, O house of Israel? + +Did you offer, etc... Except the sacrifices that were offered at the +first, in the dedication of the tabernacle, the Israelites offered no +sacrifices in the desert. + +5:26. But you carried a tabernacle for your Moloch, and the image of your +idols, the star of your god, which you made to yourselves. + +A tabernacle, etc... All this alludes to the idolatry which they +committed, when they were drawn away by the daughters of Moab to the +worship of their gods. Num. 25. + +5:27. And I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith +the Lord, the God of hosts is his name. + +Amos Chapter 6 + +The desolation of Israel for their pride and luxury. + +6:1. Woe to you that are wealthy in Sion, and to you that have +confidence in the mountain of Samaria: ye great men, heads of the +people, that go in with state into the house of Israel. + +6:2. Pass ye over to Chalane, and see, and go from thence into Emath the +great: and go down into Geth of the Philistines, and to all the best +kingdoms of these: if their border be larger than your border. + +6:3. You that are separated unto the evil day: and that approach to the +throne of iniquity; + +6:4. You that sleep upon beds of ivory, and are wanton on your couches: +that eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of +the herd; + +6:5. You that sing to the sound of the psaltery: they have thought +themselves to have instruments of music like David; + +6:6. That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best +ointments: and they are not concerned for the affliction of Joseph. + +6:7. Wherefore now they shall go captive at the head of them that go +into captivity: and the faction of the luxurious ones shall be taken +away. + +6:8. The Lord God hath sworn by his own soul, saith the Lord the God of +hosts: I detest the pride of Jacob, and I hate his houses, and I will +deliver up the city with the inhabitants thereof. + +6:9. And if there remain ten men in one house, they also shall die. + +6:10. And a man's kinsman shall take him up, and shall burn him, that he +may carry the bones out of the house; and he shall say to him that is in +the inner rooms of the house: Is there yet any with thee? + +6:11. And he shall answer: There is an end. And he shall say to him: +Hold thy peace, and mention not the name of the Lord. + +6:12. For behold the Lord hath commanded, and he will strike the greater +house with breaches, and the lesser house with clefts. + +6:13. Can horses run upon the rocks, or can any one plough with buffles? +for you have turned judgment into bitterness, and the fruit of justice +into wormwood. + +6:14. You that rejoice in a thing of nought: you that say: Have we not +taken unto us horns by our own strength? + +6:15. But behold, I will raise up a nation against you, O house of +Israel, saith the Lord the God of hosts; and they shall destroy you from +the entrance of Emath, even to the torrent of the desert. + +Amos Chapter 7 + +The prophet sees, in three visions, evils coming upon Israel: he is +accused of treason by the false priest of Bethel. + +7:1. These things the Lord God shewed to me: and behold the locust was +formed in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter rain, and lo, +it was the latter rain after the king's mowing. + +The locust, etc... These judgments by locusts and fire, which, by the +prophet's intercession, were moderated, signify the former invasions of +the Assyrians under Phul and Theglathphalasar, before the utter +desolation of Israel by Salmanasar. + +7:2. And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the +grass of the land, I said: O Lord God, be merciful, I beseech thee: who +shall raise up Jacob, for he is very little? + +7:3. The Lord had pity upon this: It shall not be, said the Lord. + +7:4. These things the Lord God shewed to me: and behold the Lord called +for judgment unto fire, and it devoured the great deep, and ate up a +part at the same time. + +7:5. And I said: O Lord God, cease, I beseech thee, who shall raise up +Jacob, for he is a little one? + +7:6. The Lord had pity upon this. Yea this also shall not be, said the +Lord God. + +7:7. These things the Lord shewed to me: and behold the Lord was +standing upon a plastered wall, and in his hand a mason's trowel. + +7:8. And the Lord said to me: What seest thou, Amos? And I said: A +mason's trowel. And the Lord said: Behold, I will lay down the trowel in +the midst of my people Israel. I will plaster them over no more. + +7:9. And the high places of the idol shall be thrown down, and the +sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste: and I will rise up against +the house of Jeroboam with the sword. + +7:10. And Amasias the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, +saying: Amos hath rebelled against thee in the midst of the house of +Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words. + +7:11. For thus saith Amos: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel +shall be carried away captive out of their own land. + +Jeroboam shall die by the sword... The prophet did not say this; but +that the Lord would rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the +sword: which was verified, when Zacharias, the son and successor of +Jeroboam, was slain by the sword. 4 Kings 15.10. + +7:12. And Amasias said to Amos: Thou seer, go, flee away into the land +of Juda: and eat bread there, and prophesy there. + +7:13. But prophesy not again any more in Bethel: because it is the +king's sanctuary, and it is the house of the kingdom. + +7:14. And Amos answered and said to Amasias: I am not a prophet, nor am +I the son of a prophet: but I am a herdsman plucking wild figs. + +I am not a prophet... That is, I am not a prophet by education: nor is +prophesying my calling or profession: but I am a herdsman, whom God was +pleased to send hither to prophesy to Israel. + +7:15. And the Lord took me when I followed the flock, and the Lord said +to me: Go, prophesy to my people Israel. + +7:16. And now hear thou the word of the Lord: Thou sayest, thou shalt +not prophesy against Israel, and thou shalt not drop thy word upon the +house of the idol. + +The house of the idol... Viz., of the calf worshipped in Bethel. + +7:17. Therefore thus saith the Lord: Thy wife shall play the harlot in +the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and +thy land shall be measured by a line: and thou shalt die in a polluted +land, and Israel shall go into captivity out of their land. + +Amos Chapter 8 + +Under the figure of a hook, which bringeth down the fruit, the +approaching desolation of Israel is foreshewed for their avarice and +injustices. + +8:1. These things the Lord shewed to me: and behold a hook to draw down +the fruit. + +8:2. And he said: What seest thou, Amos? And I said: A hook to draw down +fruit. And the Lord said to me: The end is come upon my people Israel: I +will not again pass by them any more. + +8:3. And the hinges of the temple shall screak in that day, saith the +Lord God: many shall die: silence shall be cast in every place. + +8:4. Hear this, you that crush the poor, and make the needy of the land +to fail, + +8:5. Saying: When will the month be over, and we shall sell our wares: +and the sabbath, and we shall open the corn: that we may lessen the +measure, and increase the sicle, and may convey in deceitful balances, + +8:6. That we may possess the needy for money, and the poor for a pair of +shoes, and may sell the refuse of the corn? + +8:7. The Lord hath sworn against the pride of Jacob: surely I will never +forget all their works. + +8:8. Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that +dwelleth therein: and rise up altogether as a river, and be cast out, +and run down as the river of Egypt? + +8:9. And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord God, that the +sun shall go down at midday, and I will make the earth dark in the day +of light: + +8:10. And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into +lamentation: and I will bring up sackcloth upon every back of yours, and +baldness upon every head: and I will make it as the mourning of an only +son, and the latter end thereof as a bitter day. + +8:11. Behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will send forth a +famine into the land: not a famine of bread, nor a thirst of water, but +of hearing the word of the Lord. + +8:12. And they shall move from sea to sea, and from the north to the +east: they shall go about seeking the word of the Lord, and shall not +find it. + +8:13. In that day the fair virgins, and the young men shall faint for +thirst. + +8:14. They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say: Thy God, O Dan, +liveth: and the way of Bersabee liveth: and they shall fall, and shall +rise no more. + +Amos Chapter 9 + +The certainty of the desolation of Israel: the restoring of the +tabernacle of David, and the conversion of the Gentiles to the church; +which shall flourish for ever. + +9:1. I saw the Lord standing upon the altar, and he said: Strike the +hinges, and let the lintels be shook: for there is covetousness in the +head of them all, and I will slay the last of them with the sword: there +shall be no flight for them: they shall flee, and he that shall flee of +them shall not be delivered. + +9:2. Though they go down even to hell, thence shall my hand bring them +out: and though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down. + +9:3. And though they be hid in the top of Carmel, I will search and take +them away from thence: and though they hide themselves from my eyes in +the depth of the sea, there will I command the serpent and he shall bite +them. + +9:4. And if they go into captivity before their enemies, there will I +command the sword, and it shall kill them. And I will set my eyes upon +them for evil, and not for good. + +9:5. And the Lord the God of hosts is he who toucheth the earth, and it +shall melt: and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up +as a river, and shall run down as the river of Egypt. + +9:6. He that buildeth his ascension in heaven, and hath founded his +bundle upon the earth: who calleth the waters of the sea, and poureth +them out upon the face of the earth, the Lord is his name. + +His ascension... That is, his high throne.-Ibid. His bundle... That is, +his church bound up together by the bands of one faith and communion. + +9:7. Are not you as the children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children +of Israel, saith the Lord? did not I bring up Israel, out of the land of +Egypt: and the Philistines out of Cappadocia, and the Syrians out of +Cyrene? + +As the children of the Ethiopians... That is, as black as they, by your +iniquities. + +9:8. Behold the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom, and I +will destroy it from the face of the earth: but yet I will not utterly +destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord. + +9:9. For behold I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel +among all nations, as corn is sifted in a sleve: and there shall not a +little stone fall to the ground. + +9:10. All the sinners of my people shall fall by the sword: who say: The +evils shall not approach, and shall not come upon us. + +9:11. In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David, that is +fallen: and I will close up the breaches of the walls thereof, and +repair what was fallen: and I will rebuild it as in the days of old. + +9:12. That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all nations, +because my name is invoked upon them: saith the Lord that doth these +things. + +9:13. Behold the days come, saith the Lord, when the ploughman shall +overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed: and +the mountains shall drop sweetness, and every hill shall be tilled. + +Shall overtake, etc... By this is meant the great abundance of spiritual +blessings; which, as it were, by a constant succession, shall enrich the +church of Christ. + +9:14. And I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel: and they +shall build the abandoned cities, and inhabit them: and they shall plant +vineyards, and drink the wine of them: and shall make gardens, and eat +the fruits of them. And I will plant them upon their own land: and I +will no more pluck them out of their land which I have given them, saith +the Lord thy God. + + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE BIBLE, DOUAY-RHEIMS, BOOK 35 *** + +*********** This file should be named 8335.txt or 8335.zip *********** + +Produced by David Widger + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance +of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing. +Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections, +even years after the official publication date. + +Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til +midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement. +The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at +Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A +preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment +and editing by those who wish to do so. + +Most people start at our Web sites at: +https://gutenberg.org or +http://promo.net/pg + +These Web sites include award-winning information about Project +Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new +eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!). + + +Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement +can get to them as follows, and just download by date. This is +also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the +indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an +announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter. + +http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext03 or +ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext03 + +Or /etext02, 01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90 + +Just search by the first five letters of the filename you want, +as it appears in our Newsletters. + + +Information about Project Gutenberg (one page) + +We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The +time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours +to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright +searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our +projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value +per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2 +million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text +files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+ +We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002 +If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total +will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end. + +The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks! +This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers, +which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users. + +Here is the briefest record of our progress (* means estimated): + +eBooks Year Month + + 1 1971 July + 10 1991 January + 100 1994 January + 1000 1997 August + 1500 1998 October + 2000 1999 December + 2500 2000 December + 3000 2001 November + 4000 2001 October/November + 6000 2002 December* + 9000 2003 November* +10000 2004 January* + + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation has been created +to secure a future for Project Gutenberg into the next millennium. + +We need your donations more than ever! + +As of February, 2002, contributions are being solicited from people +and organizations in: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, +Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, +Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, +Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New +Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, +Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South +Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West +Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. + +We have filed in all 50 states now, but these are the only ones +that have responded. + +As the requirements for other states are met, additions to this list +will be made and fund raising will begin in the additional states. +Please feel free to ask to check the status of your state. + +In answer to various questions we have received on this: + +We are constantly working on finishing the paperwork to legally +request donations in all 50 states.
