And the +Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the +Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchshua, Saul's sons. + +And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he +was sore wounded of the archers. Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, +Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised +come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; +for he was sore afraid. Therefore, Saul took a sword, and fell upon it. +And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon +his sword, and died with him. + +So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, +that same day together. + +And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and +they that were on the other side Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, +and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; +and the Philistines came and dwelt in them. And it came to pass on the +morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found +Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa. And they cut off his +head, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the +Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and +among the people. And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth and +they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan. + +And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard of that which the +Philistines had done to Saul; all the valiant men arose, and went all +night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall +of Beth-shan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there. And they took +their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven +days. 1 Samuel xxxi. + + + + +THE DEATH OF ABSALOM. + + +And David numbered the people that were with him, and set captains of +thousands and captains of hundreds over them. And David set forth a third +part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the +hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third part +under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I +will surely go forth with you myself also. + +But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, +they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for +us: but now thou art worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better +that thou succor us out of the city. + +And the king said unto them, What seemeth you best I will do. And the +king stood by the gate side, and all the people came out by hundreds and +by thousands. And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, +Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom. And all +the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning +Absalom. + +So the people went out into the field against Israel: and the battle was +in the wood of Ephraim; where the people of Israel were slain before the +servants of David, and there was there a great slaughter that day, of +twenty thousand men. For the battle was there scattered over the face of +all the country: and the wood devoured more people that day than the +sword devoured. + +And Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and +the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught +hold of the oak, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth; +and the mule that was under him went away. + +And a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold I saw Absalom +hanged in an oak. + +And Joab said unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest him, +and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have +given thee ten shekels of silver, and a girdle. + +And the man said unto Joab, Though I should receive a thousand shekels of +silver in mine hand, yet would I not put forth mine hand against the +king's son: for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and +Ittai, saying, Beware that none touch the young man Absalom. Otherwise I +should have wrought falsehood against mine own life: for there is no +matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldst have set thyself +against me. + +Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three darts +in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he was +yet alive in the midst of the oak. And ten young men that bare Joab's +armor compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him. And Joab blew the +trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel: for Joab +held back the people. And they took Absalom, and cast him into a great +pit in the wood, and laid a very great heap of stones upon him: and all +Israel fled every one to his tent.--2 Samuel xviii, 1-17. + + + + +DAVID MOURNING OVER ABSALOM. + + +Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and bear the king +tidings, how that the Lord hath avenged him of his enemies. And Joab said +unto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear +tidings another day: but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the +king's son is dead. Then said Joab to Cushi, Go tell the king what thou +hast seen. And Cushi bowed himself unto Joab, and ran. Then said Ahimaaz +the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But howsoever, let me, I pray thee, +also run after Cushi. And Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, +seeing that thou hast no tidings ready? But howsoever, said he let me +run. And he said unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, +and overran Cushi. + +And David sat between the two gates: and the watchman went up to the roof +over the gate unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and +behold a man running alone. And the watchman cried, and told the king. +And the king said, If he be alone, there is tidings in his mouth. And he +came apace, and drew near. And the watchman saw another man running: and +the watchman called unto the porter, and said, Behold another man running +alone. And the king said, He also bringeth tidings. And the watchman +said, Me thinketh the running of the foremost is like the running of +Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man, and cometh +with good tidings. + +And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king, All is well. And he fell down +to the earth upon his face before the king, and said, Blessed be the Lord +thy God, which hath delivereth up the men that lifted up their hand +against my lord the king. And the king said, Is the young man Absalom +safe? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king's servant, and me thy +servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what it was. And the king +said unto him, Turn aside, and stand here. And he turned aside, and stood +still. + +And, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord the king: for +the Lord bath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against +thee. And the king said unto Cushi, Is the young man Absalom safe? And +Cushi answered, The enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise +against thee to do thee hurt, be as that young man is. + +And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, +and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son +Absalom! would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son! + +And it was told Joab, Behold the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom. +And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people: +for the people heard say that day how the king was grieved for his son. +And the people gat them by stealth that day into the city, as people +being ashamed steal away when they flee in battle. + +But the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, O my +son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!--2 Samuel xviii, 19 33; xix, 1-4. + + + + +SOLOMON + + +And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he +was come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to +David. And these be the names of those that were born unto him in +Jerusalem; Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon, Ibhar also, and +Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia, and Elishama, and Eliada, and +Eliphalet.--2 Samuel v. 13-16. + +And David comforted Bath-sheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay +with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the +Lord loved him.--2 Samuel xii, 24. + +So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. And +the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years +reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem. + +Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father, and his kingdom was +established greatly.--1 Kings ii, 10-12. + +And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and +largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore. And +Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east +country, and all the wisdom of Egypt. For he was wiser than all men; than +Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: +and his fame was in all nations round about. And he spake three thousand +proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five. And he spake of trees, +from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that +springeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts, and of fowl, and of +creeping things, and of fishes. And there came of all people to hear the +wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his +wisdom.--2 Kings iv, 29-34. + + + + +THE JUDGMENT OF SOLOMON. + + +Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood +before him. + +And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; +and I was delivered of a child with her in the house. And it came to pass +the third day after that I was delivered, that this woman was delivered +also: and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, +save we two in the house. And this woman's child died in the night; +because she overlaid it. And she arose at midnight, and took my son from +beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid +her dead child in my bosom. And when I rose in the morning to give my +child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the +morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear. + +And the other woman said, Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is +thy son. + +And this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and, the living is my son. + +Thus they spake before the king. + +Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy +son is the dead--and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and +my son is the living. And the king said, Bring me a sword. + +And they brought a sword before the king. + +And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the +one, and half to the other. + +Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her +bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living +child, and in no wise slay it. + +But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it. + +Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no +wise slay it she is the mother thereof. + +And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they +feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do +judgment. 1 Kings iii, 16-28. + + + + +THE CEDARS DESTINED FOR THE TEMPLE. + + +And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard +that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was +ever a lover of David. + +And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying, Thou knowest how that David my father +could not build a house unto the name of the Lord his God for the wars +which were about him on every side, until the Lord put them under the +soles of his feet. But now the Lord my God hath given me rest on every +side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent. And, behold: +I purpose to build a house unto the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord +spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy +throne in thy room, he shall build a house unto my name. Now therefore +command thou that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon; and my servants +shall be with thy servants: and unto thee will I give hire for the +servants according to all that thou shalt appoint: for thou knowest that +there is not among us any that can skill to hew timber like unto the +Sidonians. + +And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he +rejoiced greatly and said, Blessed be the Lord this day, which hath given +unto David a wise son over this great, people. And Hiram sent to Solomon, +saying, I have considered the things which thou sentest to me for: and I +will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber +of fir: My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea; and +I will convey them by sea in floats unto the place that thou shalt +appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt +receive them: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my +household. + +So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees according to all his +desire. + +And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his +household and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram +year by year. + +And the Lord gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace +between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together. + +And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty +thousand men. And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by +courses: a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and +Adoniram was over the levy. And Solomon had three score and ten thousand +that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains beside +the chief of Solomon's officers which were over the work, three thousand +and three-hundred, which ruled over the people that wrought in the work. +And the king commanded and they brought great stones, costly stones, and +hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the' house. And Solomon's +builders, and Hiram's builders did hew them, and the stone-squarers; so +they prepared timber and stones to build the house.--1 Kings v. + + + + +THE PROPHET SLAIN BY A LION. + + +Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him +all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words +which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father. +And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen +what way the man of God went, which came, from Judah. And he said unto +his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the, ass: and he rode +thereon, and went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an +oak: and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from +Judah? And he said, I am. Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and +eat bread. And he, said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: +neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place: for it +was said to me by the word of the Lord, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink +water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest. He said +unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by +the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, +that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him. So he went +back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water. + +And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the Lord +came unto the prophet that brought him back: and he cried unto the man of +God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Forasmuch as thou +hast disobeyed the mouth of the Lord, and hast not kept the commandment +which the Lord thy God commanded thee, but camest back, and hast eaten +bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the Lord did say to +thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcass shall not come unto +the sepulchre of thy fathers. + +And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, +that he saddled for him the ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he had +brought back. + +And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his +carcass was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood +by the carcass. + +And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcass cast in the way, and the +lion standing by the carcass: and they came and told it in the city where +the old prophet dwelt. And when the prophet that brought him back from +the way heard thereof, he said, It is; the man of God, who was +disobedient unto the word of the Lord: therefore the Lord hath delivered +him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the +word of the Lord, which he spake unto him. And he spake to his sons, +saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him. + +And he went and found his carcass cast in the way, and the ass and the +lion standing by the carcass: the lion had not eaten the carcass, nor +torn the ass.--2 Kings xiii, II-28. + + + + +ELIJAH DESTROYING THE MESSENGERS OF AHAZIAH. + + +And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in +Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, +enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this +disease. + +But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to +meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not +because there is not a God in Israel, that 'ye go to enquire of +Baal-zebub the god of Ekron? Now therefore thus saith the Lord, Thou; +shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt +surely die. And Elijah departed. + +And when the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto them, Why are +ye now turned back? And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet +us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say +unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Is it not because there is not a God in +Israel, that thou sendest to enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron? +therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone +up, but shalt surely die. And he said unto them, What manner of man was +he which came up to meet you, and told you these words? And they answered +him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his +loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite. + +Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he +went up to him and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake +unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down. And Elijah +answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let +fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there +came down fire from heaven and consumed him and his fifty. + +Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And +he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, +Come down quickly. And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man +of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. +And the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty. + +And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the +third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before +Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, +let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy +sight. Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two +captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life +now be precious in thy sight. + +And the angel of the lord said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not +afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king. And he +said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast sent +messengers to enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, is it not because +there is no God in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt +not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely +die. + +So he died according to the word of the Lord which Elijah had spoken.--2 +Kings i, 2-17. + + + + +ELIJAH'S ASCENT IN A CHARIOT OF FIRE. + + +And it came to pass, when the Lord would take up Elijah into heaven by a +whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. And Elijah said unto +Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Beth-el. +And Elisha said unto him, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I +will not leave thee. So they went down to Beth-el. + +And the sons of the prophets that were at Beth-el came forth to Elisha, +and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master +from thy head to-day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace. +And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord +hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul +liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho. + +And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and +said unto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from +thy head to-day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace. And +Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the Lord hath sent me +to Jordan. And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I +will not leave thee. And they two went on. + +And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar +off and they two stood by Jordan. + +And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the +waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went +over on dry ground. + +And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto +Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. +And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon +me. And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see +me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it +shall not be so. + +And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, +there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them +both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.--2 Kings ii, +I-II. + + + + +THE DEATH OF JEZEBEL. + + +And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted +her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window. And as Jehu +entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master? + +And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? +who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs. And he said, Throw +her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on +the wall, and on the horses and he trod her under foot. And when he was +come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman, +and bury her: for she is a king's daughter. And they went to bury her: +but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms +of her hands. Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This +is the word of the Lord, which he spake by his servant Elijah the +Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of +Jezebel: and the carcass of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the +field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is +Jezebel.--2 Kings ix, 30-37. + + + + +ESTHER CONFOUNDING HAMAN. + + +So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen. + +And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of +wine What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: +and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of +the kingdom. + +Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favor in thy +sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my +petition, and my people at my request: for we are sold, I and my people, +to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for +bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue although the enemy could not +countervail the king's damage. + +Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is +he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so? + +And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. + +Then, Haman was afraid before the king and the queen. And the king +arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace +garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the +queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king. + +Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the +banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. +Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? + +As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face. And +Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the +gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had +spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king +said, Hang him thereon. + +So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. +Then was the king's wrath pacified.--Esther vii. + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Dore Gallery of Bible +Illustrations, Volume 4, by Anonymous, Illustrated by Gustave Dore + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK DORE BIBLE GALLERY, VOL. 4 *** + +***** This file should be named 8704.txt or 8704.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/8/7/0/8704/ + +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. |
