The original work, from +which this collection has been made, met with an immediate and warm +recognition and acceptance among those whose means admitted of its +purchase, and its popularity has in no wise diminished since its first +publication, but has even extended to those who could only enjoy it +casually, or in fragmentary parts. That work, however, in its entirety, +was far too costly for the larger and ever-widening circle of M. Dore's +admirers, and to meet the felt and often-expressed want of this class, +and to provide a volume of choice and valuable designs upon sacred +subjects for art-loving Biblical students generally, this work was +projected and has been carried forward. The aim has been to introduce +subjects of general interest--that is, those relating to the most +prominent events and personages of Scripture--those most familiar to all +readers; the plates being chosen with special reference to the known +taste of the American people. To each cut is prefixed a page of +letter-press--in, narrative form, and containing generally a brief +analysis of the design. Aside from the labors of the editor and +publishers, the work, while in progress, was under the pains-taking and +careful scrutiny of artists and scholars not directly interested in the +undertaking, but still having a generous solicitude for its success. It +is hoped, therefore, that its general plan and execution will render it +acceptable both to the appreciative and friendly patrons of the great +artist, and to those who would wish to possess such a work solely as a +choice collection of illustrations upon sacred themes. + + + + +GUSTAVE DORE. + +The subject of this sketch is, perhaps, the most original and variously +gifted designer the world has ever known. At an age when most men have +scarcely passed their novitiate in art, and are still under the direction +and discipline of their masters and the schools, he had won a brilliant +reputation, and readers and scholars everywhere were gazing on his work +with ever-increasing wonder and delight at his fine fancy and +multifarious gifts. He has raised illustrative art to a dignity and +importance before unknown, and has developed capacities for the pencil +before unsuspected. He has laid all subjects tribute to his genius, +explored and embellished fields hitherto lying waste, and opened new and +shining paths and vistas where none before had trod. To the works of the +great he has added the lustre of his genius, bringing their beauties into +clearer view and warming them to a fuller life. + +His delineations of character, in the different phases of life, from the +horrible to the grotesque, the grand to the comic, attest the versatility +of his powers; and, whatever faults may be found by critics, the public +will heartily render their quota of admiration to his magic touch, his +rich and facile rendering of almost every thought that stirs, or lies yet +dormant, in the human heart. It is useless to attempt a sketch of his +various beauties; those who would know them best must seek them in the +treasure--house that his genius is constantly augmenting with fresh gems +and wealth. To one, however, of his most prominent traits we will +refer--his wonderful rendering of the powers of Nature. + +His early wanderings in the wild and romantic passes of the Vosges +doubtless developed this inherent tendency of his mind. There he +wandered, and there, mayhap, imbibed that deep delight of wood and +valley, mountain--pass and rich ravine, whose variety of form and detail +seems endless to the enchanted eye. He has caught the very spell of the +wilderness; she has laid her hand upon him, and he has gone forth with +her blessing. So bold and truthful and minute are his countless +representations of forest scenery; so delicate the tracery of branch and +stem; so patriarchal the giant boles of his woodland monarchs, that the' +gazer is at once satisfied and entranced. His vistas lie slumbering with +repose either in shadowy glade or fell ravine, either with glint of lake +or the glad, long course of some rejoicing stream, and above all, supreme +in a beauty all its own, he spreads a canopy of peerless sky, or a +wilderness, perhaps, of angry storm, or peaceful stretches of soft, +fleecy cloud, or heavens serene and fair--another kingdom to his teeming +art, after the earth has rendered all her gifts. + +Paul Gustave Dore was born in the city of Strasburg, January 10, 1833. Of +his boyhood we have no very particular account. At eleven years of age, +however, he essayed his first artistic creation--a set' of lithographs, +published in his native city. The following year found him in Paris, +entered as a 7. student at the Charlemagne Lyceum. His first actual work +began in 1848, when his fine series of sketches, the "Labors of +Hercules," was given to the public through the medium of an illustrated, +journal with which he was for a long time connected as designer. In 1856 +were published the illustrations for Balzac's "Contes Drolatiques" and +those for "The Wandering Jew "--the first humorous and grotesque in the +highest degree--indeed, showing a perfect abandonment to fancy; the other +weird and supernatural, with fierce battles, shipwrecks, turbulent mobs, +and nature in her most forbidding and terrible aspects. Every incident or +suggestion that could possibly make the story more effective, or add to +the horror of the scenes was seized upon and portrayed with wonderful +power. These at once gave the young designer a great reputation, which +was still more enhanced by his subsequent works. + +With all his love for nature and his power of interpreting her in her +varying moods, Dore was a dreamer, and many of his finest achievements +were in the realm of the imagination. But he was at home in the actual +world also, as witness his designs for "Atala," "London--a Pilgrimage," +and many of the scenes in "Don Quixote." + +When account is taken of the variety of his designs, and the fact +considered that in almost every task he attempted none had ventured +before him, the amount of work he accomplished is fairly incredible. To +enumerate the immense tasks he undertook--some single volumes alone +containing hundreds of illustrations--will give some faint idea of his +industry. Besides those already mentioned are Montaigne, Dante, the +Bible, Milton, Rabelais, Tennyson's "Idyls of the King," "The Ancient +Mariner," Shakespeare, "Legende de Croquemitaine," La Fontaine's "Fables," +and others still. + +Take one of these works--the Dante, La Fontaine, or "Don Quixote"--and +glance at the pictures. The mere hand labor involved in their production +is surprising; but when the quality of the work is properly estimated, +what he accomplished seems prodigious. No particular mention need be made +of him as painter or sculptor, for his reputation rests solely upon his +work as an illustrator. + +Dore's nature was exuberant and buoyant, and he was youthful in +appearance. He had a passion for music, possessed rare skill as a +violinist, and it is assumed that, had he failed to succeed with his +pencil, he could have won a brilliant reputation as a musician. + +He was a bachelor, and lived a quiet, retired life with his +mother--married, as he expressed it, to her and his art. His death +occurred on January 23, 1883. + + + + +LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS + +GUSTAVE DORE +THE CREATION OF EVE +THE EXPULSION FROM THE GARDEN +THE MURDER OF ABEL +THE DELUGE +NOAH CURSING HAM +THE TOWER OF BABEL +ABRAHAM ENTERTAINS THREE STRANGERS +THE DESTRUCTION OF SODOM +THE EXPULSION OF HAGAR +HAGAR IN THE WILDERESS +THE TRIAL OF THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM +THE BURIAL OF SARAH +ELIEZER AND REBEKAH +ISAAC BLESSING JACOB +JACOB TENDING THE FLOCKS +JOSEPH SOLD INTO EGYPT +JOSEPH INTERPRETING PHARAOH'S DREAM +JOSEPH MAKING HIMSELF KNOWN TO HIS BRETHREN +MOSES IN THE BULRUSHES +THE WAR AGAINST GIBEON +SISERA SLAIN BY JAEL +DEBORAH'S SONG OF TRIUMPH +JEPHTHAH MET BY HIS DAUGHTER +JEPHTHAH'S DAUGHTER AND HER COMPANIONS +SAMSON SLAYING THE LION +SAMSON AND DELILAH +THE DEATH OF SAMSON +NAOMI AND HER DAUGHTERS-IN-LAW +RUTH AND BOAZ +THE RETURN OF THE ARK +SAUL AND DAVID +DAVID SPARING SAUL +DEATH OF SAUL +THE DEATH OF ABSALOM +DAVID MOURNING OVER ABSALOM +SOLOMON +THE JUDGMENT OF SOLOMON +THE CEDARS DESTINED FOR THE TEMPLE +THE PROPHET SLAIN BY A LION +ELIJAH DESTROYING THE MESSENGERS OF AHAZIAH +ELIJAH'S ASCENT IN A CHARIOT OF FIRE +DEATH OF JEZEBEL +ESTHER CONFOUNDING HAMAN +ISAIAH +DESTRUCTION OF SENNACHERIB'S HOST +BARUCH +EZEKIEL PROPHESYING +THE VISION OF EZEKIEL +DANIEL +THE FIERY FURNACE +BELSHAZZAR'S FEAST +DANIEL IN THE LION'S DEN +THE PROPHET AMOS +JONAH CALLING NINEVEH TO REPENTANCE +DANIEL CONFOUNDING THE PRIESTS OF BEL +HELIODORUS PUNISHED IN THE TEMPLE +THE NATIVITY +THE STAR IN THE EAST +THE FLIGHT INTO EGYPT +THE MASSACRE OF THE INNOCENTS +JESUS QUESTIONING THE DOCTORS +JESUS HEALING THE SICK +SERMON ON THE MOUNT +CHRIST STILLING THE TEMPEST +THE DUMB MAN POSSESSED +CHRIST IN THE SYNAGOGUE +THE DISCIPLES PLUCKING CORN ON THE SABBATH +JESUS WALKING ON THE WATER +CHRIST'S ENTRY INTO JERUSALEM +JESUS AND THE TRIBUTE MONEY +THE WIDOW'S MITE +RAISING OF THE DAUGHTER OF JAIRUS +THE GOOD SAMARITAN +ARRIVAL OF THE SAMARITAN AT THE INN +THE PRODIGAL SON +LAZARUS AND THE RICH MAN +THE PHARISEE AND THE PUBLICAN +JESUS AND THE WOMAN OF SAMARIA +JESUS AND THE WOMAN TAKEN IN ADULTERY +THE RESURRECTION OF LAZARUS +MARY MAGDALENE +THE LAST SUPPER +THE AGONY IN THE GARDEN +PRAYER OF JESUS IN THE GARDEN OF OLIVES +THE BETRAYAL +CHRIST FAINTING UNDER THE CROSS +THE FLAGELLATION +THE CRUCIFIXION +CLOSE OF THE CRUCIFIXION +THE BURIAL OF JESUS +THE ANGEL AT THE SEPULCHER +THE JOURNEY TO EMMAUS +THE ASCENSION +THE MARTYRDOM OF ST. STEPHEN +SAUL'S CONVERSION +THE DELIVERANCE OF ST. PETER +PAUL AT EPHESUS +PAUL MENACED BY THE JEWS +PAUL'S SHIPWRECK +DEATH ON THE PALE HORSE + + + + +THE CREATION OF EVE. + + +"And the Lord God said, it is not good that the man should be alone; I +will make him a helpmeet for him. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to +fall on Adam, and he slept, and he took one of his ribs, and closed up +the flesh instead thereof; and the rib which the Lord God had taken from +man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This +is now bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, +because she was taken out of man. Therefore shall a man leave his father +and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh." +Genesis ii, 18, 21-24. + +In these few words the Scriptures narrate the creation of the first +mother of our race. In "Paradise Lost," the poetic genius of Milton, +going more into detail, describes how Eve awoke to consciousness, and +found herself reposing under a shade of flowers, much wondering what she +was and whence she came. Wandering by the margin of a small lake, she +sees her own form mirrored in the clear waters, at which she wonders +more. But a voice is heard, leading her to him for whom she was made, who +lies sleeping under a grateful shade. It is at this point the artist +comes to interpret the poet's dream. Amid the varied and luxurious +foliage of Eden, in the vague light of the early dawn, Eve is presented, +coy and graceful, gazing on her sleeping Lord, while in the background is +faintly outlined the mystic form of Him in whose image they were created. + + + + +THE EXPULSION FROM THE GARDEN. + + +And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know +good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the +tree of life, and eat, and live forever: Therefore, the Lord God sent him +forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was +taken. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden +of Eden cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep +the way of the tree of life.--Genesis iii, 22-24 + +They, looking back, all the eastern side beheld Of Paradise, so late +their happy seat, Waved over by that flaming brand; the gate, With +dreadful forces thronged, and fiery arms Some natural tears they dropped, +but wiped them soon; The world was all before them, where to choose Their +place of rest, and Providence their guide; They, hand in hand, with +wandering steps and slow, Through Eden took their solitary way. + +Paradise Lost, Book XII. + + + + +THE MURDER OF ABEL. + + +And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I +have gotten a man from the Lord. And she again bare his brother Abel. And +Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. And in +process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the +ground an offering unto the Lord. And Abel, he also brought of the +firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect +unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering he had +not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. And the +Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance +fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest +not well, sin lieth at the door, and unto thee shall be his desire, and +thou shalt rule over him. And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it +came to pass,--when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against +Abel his brother, and slew him. + +And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I +know not Am I my brother's keeper? And he said, What hast thou done? the +voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. And now art +thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy +brother's blood from thy hand; When thou tillest the ground, it shall not +henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt +thou be in the earth. And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is +greater than I can bear. Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from +the face of the earth and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a +fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that +every one that findeth me shall slay me. And the Lord said unto him, +Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him +sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should +kill him. + +And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of +Nod, on the east of Eden.--Genesis iv, 1-16 + + + + +THE DELUGE. + + +In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the +seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the +great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. And the rain +was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. + +In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the +sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, +into the ark; they, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle +after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth +after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort. +And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, +wherein is the breath of life. And they that went in, went in male and +female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in. + +And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, +and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. And the waters +prevailed, and were increased, greatly upon the earth; and the ark went +upon the face of the waters. And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon +the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were +covered. Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains +were covered. And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, +and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth +upon the earth, and every man; all in whose nostrils was the breath of +life, of all that was in the dry land, died. And every living substance +was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man and cattle, +and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were +destroyed from the earth; and Noah only remained alive, and they that +were with him in the ark. + +And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty +days.--Genesis vii, 11-24. + + + + +NOAH CURSING HAM. + + +And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and +Japheth; and Ham is the father of Canaan. These are the three sons of +Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread. + +And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: And he +drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. +And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told +his two brethren without. And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid +it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the +nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw +not their father's nakedness. And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what +his younger son had done unto him. And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a +servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. And he said, Blessed +be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. God shall +enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan +shall be his servant.--Genesis ix, 18-27. + + + + +THE TOWER OF BABEL. + + +And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. + +And it came to pass as they journeyed from the east, that they found a +plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to +another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had +brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. And they said, Go to, let +us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let +us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole +earth. + +And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the children +of men builded. And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they +have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be +restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go +down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one +another's speech. + +So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the +earth: and they left off to build the city. + +Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there +confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord +scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.--Genesis xi, 1-9. + + + + +ABRAHAM ENTERTAINS THREE STRANGERS. + + +In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son. And all +the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the +stranger, were circumcised with him. + +And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the +tent door in the heat of the day; and he lift up his eyes and looked, +and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet +them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, and said, +My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray +thee, from thy servant: let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and +wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: And I will fetch a +morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: +for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou +hast said. + +And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready +quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the +hearth. And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and +good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it. And he +took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it +before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did +eat.--Genesis xvii, 26, 27; xviii 1-8. + +Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have +entertained angels unawares.--Hebrews xiii, 2. + + + + +THE DESTRUCTION OF SODOM. + + +And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, +take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be +consumed in the iniquity of the city. And while he lingered, the men laid +hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of +his two daughters; the Lord being merciful unto him: and they brought him +forth, and set him without the city. + +And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he +said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all +the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed. And Lot said +unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord. Behold now, thy servant hath found grace +in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed +unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some +evil take me and I die. Behold now this city is near to flee unto, and it +is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither (is it not a little one?) and +my soul shall live. And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee +concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the +which thou hast spoken. Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do +anything till thou be come thither. + +Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. + +The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered unto Zoar. Then the +Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord +out of heaven; and he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all +the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. + +But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of +salt. + +And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood +before the Lord and he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all +the land of the plain, and beheld, and lo, the smoke of the country went +up as the smoke of a furnace.--Genesis xix, 15-28. + + + + +THE EXPULSION OF HAGAR. + + +And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as +he had spoken. For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old +age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. And Abraham called +the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, +Isaac. And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac, being eight days old, as +God had commanded him. And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son +Isaac was born unto him. + +And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will +laugh with me. And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah +should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old +age. And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast +the same day that Isaac was weaned. + +And Sarah, saw the son of Hagar, the Egyptian, which she had born unto +Abraham, mocking. Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this +bondwoman and her son; for the son of this, bondwoman shall not be heir +with my son, even with Isaac. + +And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son. +And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of +the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto +thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called. And +also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy +seed. + +And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of +water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, +and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of +Beer-sheba.--Genesis xxi, 1-14. + + + + +HAGAR IN THE WILDERNESS. + + +And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of +water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, +and sent her away; and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of +Beer-sheba. And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child +under one of the shrubs. And she went and sat her down over against him a +good way off, as it were a bow-shot: for she said, Let me not see the +death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lifted up her voice +and wept. And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called +to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear +not, for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. Arise, lift up +the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation. +And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and +filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. And God was with +the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. +And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife +out of the land of Egypt.--Genesis xxi. 14-21. + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Dore Gallery of Bible +Illustrations, Volume 1, by Anonymous, Illustrated by Gustave Dore + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK DORE BIBLE GALLERY, VOL. 1 *** + +***** This file should be named 8701.txt or 8701.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/8/7/0/8701/ + +Produced by David Widger + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

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. 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 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. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.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 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. |
