+
+ISAIAH.
+
+
+Isaiah (in Hebrew, Yeshayahu, "Salvation of God"), the earliest and most
+sublime of the four greater Hebrew prophets, was the son of Amoz (2 Kings
+xix, 2-20; Isaiah xxxvii, 2), and he uttered his oracles during the
+reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. The dates
+of his birth and death are unknown, but he lived from about 760 B.C. to
+about 700 B.C. He was married and had three sons--the children referred
+to in Isaiah viii, 18; and he appears to have resided near Jerusalem.
+
+But by most competent critics it is now held that the last twenty-seven
+chapters (40-66) of the book bearing his name were the work, not of the
+prophet, but of a later writer who is commonly styled the second or
+Deutero-Isaiah. In this portion of the book, Cyrus, who was not born till
+after 600 B.C., is mentioned by name (Isaiah, xliv, 28; xlv, i); and
+events which did not take place till a century after the prophet's death
+are referred to as happening contemporaneously with the writer's account
+of them. The style of these last twenty-seven chapters, also, is
+different, and the tone is more elevated and spiritual.
+
+Dore's ideal portrait is more suited to the second or pseudo-Isaiah, than
+to the real one.
+
+
+
+
+DESTRUCTION OF SENNACHERIB'S HOST.
+
+
+Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of Assyria, He shall
+not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it
+with shield, nor cast a bank against it. By the way that he came, by the
+same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the Lord.
+For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my
+servant David's sake.
+
+And it came to pass that night that the angel of the Lord went out, and
+smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five
+thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all
+dead corpses.
+
+So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt
+at Nineveh. And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of
+Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with
+the sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia. And Esar-haddon his
+son reigned in his stead.--2 Kings xix, 32-37
+
+
+
+
+BARUCH.
+
+
+And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah
+king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
+Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have
+spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the
+nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even
+unto this day. It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil
+which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his
+evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.
+
+Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the
+mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord, which he had spoken unto
+him, upon a roll of a book. Jeremiah xxxvi; 1-4.
+
+The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah,
+when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in
+the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
+Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch; thou didst
+say, Woe is me now! for the Lord hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted
+in my sighing, and I find no rest.
+
+Thus shalt thou say unto him, The Lord saith thus; Behold, that which I
+have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck
+up, even this whole land. And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek
+them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the Lord:
+but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou
+goesth. Jeremiah xlv, 1-5.
+
+
+
+
+EZEKIEL PROPHESYING.
+
+
+Ezekiel, the third of the great Hebrew prophets, was the son of the
+priest Buzi. (Ezekiel i, 3). He was probably born about 620 or 630 years
+before Christ, and was consequently a contemporary of Jeremiah and
+Daniel, to the latter of whom he alludes in chapters xiv, 14-20 and
+xxviii, 3. When Jerusalem was taken by Nebuchadnezzar in 597 B.C. (2
+Kings xxiv, 8-16; Jeremiah xxix, 1-2; Ezekiel xvii, 12; xix, 9), Ezekiel
+was carried captive along with Jehoiachin, or Jeconiah, king of Judah,
+and thousands of other Jewish prisoners, to Babylonia, or as he himself
+calls it, "the land of the Chaldeans." (Ezekiel i, 3). Here, along with
+his exiled fellow-countrymen, he lived on the banks of the river Chebar
+(Ezekiel i, 1-3), in a house of his own (viii, i). Here also he married,
+and here, too, his wife, "the desire of his eyes," was taken from him
+"with a stroke" (Ezekiel xxiv, 15-18). His prophetic career extended over
+twenty-two years, from about 592 B.C. to about 570 B.C.
+
+The book bearing his name is written in a mystical and symbolical style,
+and abounds with visions and difficult allegories which indicate on the
+part of the author the possession of a vivid and sublime imagination.
+Ezekiel's authorship of it has been questioned. The Talmud attributes it
+to the Great Synagogue, of which Ezekiel was not a member. It is
+divisible into two portions. The first (chapters i-xxiv) was written
+before, and the second (chapters xxv-xlviii) after, the destruction of
+Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar in 586 B.C, the eleventh year of the
+prophet's captivity (Ezekiel xxvi, 1-2; XI, i). The present text is very
+imperfect, being corrupted by the interpolation of glosses and other
+additions by later hands.
+
+Dore's picture represents the prophet uttering his oracles to his
+fellow-exiles ("them of the captivity"), or to the "elders of Judah," or
+"elders of Israel," on one of the occasions to which he himself alludes
+(viii, I; xi, 25; xiv, I; xx, I).
+
+
+
+
+THE VISION OF EZEKIEL.
+
+
+The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the Spirit of the
+Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,
+and caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very
+many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
+
+And he said unto me; Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O
+Lord God, thou knowest.
+
+Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye
+dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus saith the Lord God unto these
+bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
+And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and
+cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live and ye
+shall know that I am the Lord.
+
+So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a
+noise, and behold a shaking, and the, bones came together, bone to his
+bone. And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them,
+and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.
+
+Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and
+say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O
+breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
+
+So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and
+they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
+
+Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of
+Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we
+are cut off for our parts. Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus
+saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and
+cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of
+Israel. And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your
+graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, and shall put
+my Spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own
+land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed
+it, saith the Lord.--Ezekiel xxxvii, 1-14.
+
+
+
+
+DANIEL.
+
+
+Respecting the parentage or family of Daniel, the fourth of the great
+Hebrew prophets, nothing is known, though he appears to have been of
+noble if not of royal descent (Daniel i, 3). When, in the third year of
+the reign of King Jehoiakim (607, 606, 605, or 604 B.C.), Jerusalem was
+first taken by Nebuchadnezzar, Daniel, then a youth, was among the
+captives carried to Babylon. By the king's orders, he, with others of the
+Jewish youth, was educated for three years (Daniel i, 3-7). At this time
+Daniel acquired the power of interpreting dreams (i, 17), which he used
+with such advantage in expounding a dream of Nebuchadnezzar, that he was
+made ruler over the whole province of Babylon (Daniel ii, 46-48).
+Daniel's interpretation of Belshazzar's famous vision having been
+fulfilled by the capture of Babylon by Darius, that conqueror promoted
+Daniel to the highest office in the kingdom (Daniel vi, 1-3). The prophet
+also prospered greatly during the reign of Cyrus (Daniel vi, 28).
+
+The book of Daniel is written partly in Chaldaic or Syriac (the
+vernacular Aramaic language spoken by the people of Palestine), and
+partly in sacred Hebrew. It is manifestly divisible into two portions.
+The first (chapters i-vi) narrating the details of the prophet's life,
+and the second (chapters vii-xii) setting forth his apocalyptic visions.
+Much doubt has been cast upon the authenticity of the work. The evident
+reference in the eleventh chapter to the conquest of Persia by Alexander
+the Great, which took place about 330 B.C., or more than two hundred
+years after Daniel flourished, has led many modern critics to believe
+that the work was composed in the time of the Maccabees.
+
+Dore's picture appears to be intended to represent the prophet meditating
+over one of the many visions which came to him.
+
+
+
+
+THE FIERY FURNACE.
+
+
+Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews.
+They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live forever.
+There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the
+province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; these men, O king,
+have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden
+image which thou hast set up.
+
+Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach,
+Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then they brought these men before the king.
+
+Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach,
+and Abed-nego? do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image
+which I have set up? Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the
+sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and
+all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made;
+well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the
+midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver
+you out of my hands?
+
+Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to the king, O
+Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it
+be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery
+furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be
+it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship
+the golden image which thou hast set up.
+
+Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was
+changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: therefore he spake, and
+commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it
+was wont to be heated. And he commanded the most mighty men that were in
+his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and to cast them into
+the burning fiery furnace.
+
+Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats,
+and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning
+fiery furnace. Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent and
+the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took
+up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. And these three men, Shadrach,
+Meshach, and Abed-nego fell down bound into the midst of the burning
+fiery furnace.
+
+Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and
+spake, and said unto his counselors, Did not we cast three men bound into
+the midst of the fire? They answered, and said unto the king, True, O
+king.
+
+He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of
+the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the
+Son of God.
+
+Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace,
+and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of the
+most high God, come forth and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and
+Abed-nego, came forth of the midst of the fire. And the princes,
+governors, and captains, and the king's counselors, being gathered
+together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was
+a hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the
+smell of fire had passed on them.--Daniel iii, 8, 9, 12-27.
+
+
+
+
+BELSHAZZAR'S FEAST.
+
+
+Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and
+drank wine before the thousand. Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine,
+commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father
+Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that
+the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink
+therein. Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the
+temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his
+princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them. They drank wine
+and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood,
+and of stone.
+
+In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over
+against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's
+palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. Then the king's
+countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the
+joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
+
+[On the failure of his astrologers and soothsayers to interpret the
+writing, the king, at the suggestion of his queen, sends for Daniel, who
+interprets it as follows:]
+
+O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom,
+and majesty, and glory, and honor: and for the majesty that he gave him,
+all peoples, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom
+he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he
+set up; and whom he would he put down. But when his heart was lifted up,
+and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne,
+and they took his glory from him and he was driven from the sons of men;
+and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the
+wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with
+the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the
+kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.
+
+And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou
+knewest all this; but hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven;
+and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and
+thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and
+thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and
+stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy
+breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified.
+
+Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was
+written.
+
+And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
+This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy
+kingdom and finished it. TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art
+found wanting. PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and
+Persians.
+
+In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain. And Darius
+the Median took the kingdom.--Daniel v.
+
+
+
+
+DANIEL IN THE LIONS' DEN.
+
+
+Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house;
+and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled
+upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his
+God, as he did aforetime.
+
+Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making
+supplication before his God. Then they came near, and spake before the
+king concerning the king's decree Hast thou not signed a decree, that
+every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days,
+save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.
+
+The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of
+the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
+
+Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the
+children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the
+decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.
+
+Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased with
+himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured till
+the going down of the sun to deliver him.
+
+Then these men assembled unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O
+king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor
+statute which the king establisheth may be changed. Then the king
+commanded, and they brought Daniel and cast him into the den of lions.
+Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest
+continually, he will deliver thee. And a stone was brought, and laid upon
+the mouth of the den and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with
+the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning
+Daniel.
+
+Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither
+were instruments of musick brought before him: and his sleep went from
+him. Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste
+unto the den of lions. And when he came to the den, he cried with a
+lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O
+Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest
+continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?
+
+Then said Daniel unto the King, O king, live forever. My God hath sent
+his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me:
+forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee,
+O king, have I done no hurt.
+
+Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and commanded that they should
+take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and
+no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God. And
+the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel,
+and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their
+wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones
+in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den.--Daniel vi.
+
+
+
+
+THE PROPHET AMOS.
+
+
+Amos, one of the earliest of the Hebrew prophets, flourished during the
+reign of Uzziah, about 790 B.C., and was consequently a contemporary of
+Hosea and Joel. In his youth he lived at Tekoa, about six miles south of
+Bethlehem, in Judaea, and was a herdsman and a gatherer of sycamore fruit
+(Amos i, i; vii, 14). This occupation he gave up for that of prophet
+(vii, 15), and he came forward to denounce the idolatry then prevalent in
+Judah, Israel, and the surrounding kingdoms.
+
+The first six chapters of his book contain his denunciations of idolatry;
+the other three, his symbolical vision of the overthrow of the people of
+Israel, and a promise of their restoration. The style is remarkable for
+clearness and strength, and for its picturesque use of images drawn from
+the rural and pastoral life which the prophet had led in his youth.
+
+
+
+
+JONAH CALLING NINEVEH TO REPENTANCE.
+
+
+And the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the second time, saying, Arise,
+go unto to Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching
+that I bid thee.
+
+So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord.
+Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey. And Jonah
+began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet
+forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
+
+So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on
+sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. For word
+came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid
+his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. And
+he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree
+of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor
+flock taste anything: let them not feed, nor drink water: but let man and
+beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them
+turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their
+hands. Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his
+fierce anger, that we perish not?
+
+And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God
+repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he
+did it not.--Jonah iii.
+
+
+
+
+DANIEL CONFOUNDING THE PRIESTS OF BEL.
+
+
+Now the Babylonians had an idol called Bel: and there were spent upon him
+every day, twelve great measures of fine flour, and forty sheep, and
+sixty vessels of wine. The king also worshipped him, and went every day
+to adore him: but Daniel adored his God. And the king said unto him: Why
+dost thou not adore Bel? And he answered, and said to him Because I do
+not worship idols made with hands, but the living God, that created
+heaven and earth, and hath power over all flesh. And the king said to
+him: Doth not Bel seem to thee to be a living God? Seest thou not how
+much he eateth and drinketh every day? Then Daniel smiled and said: O
+king, be not deceived: for this is but clay within, and brass without,
+neither hath he eaten at any time.
+
+And the king being angry called for his priests, and said to them: If you
+tell me not, who it is that eateth up these expenses, you shall die. But
+if you can show that Bel eateth these things, Daniel shall die, because
+he hath blasphemed against Bel.
+
+And Daniel said to the king: Be it done according to thy word.
+
+Now the priests of Bel were seventy besides their wives and little ones
+and children. And they went with Daniel into the temple of Bel. And the
+priests of Bel said: Behold, we go out: and do thou, O king, set on the
+meats, and make ready, the wine, and shut the door fast, and seal it with
+thy own ring: and when thou comest in the morning, if thou findest not
+that Bel hath eaten all up, we will suffer death, or else Daniel that
+hath lied against us.
+
+And they little regarded it, because they had made under the table a
+secret entrance, and they always came in by it, and consumed those
+things.
+
+So it came to pass after they were gone out, the king set the meats
+before Bel: and Daniel commanded his servants, and they brought ashes,
+and he sifted them all over the temple before the king: and going forth
+they shut the door, and having sealed it with the king's ring, they
+departed.
+
+But the priests went in by night, according to their custom, with their
+wives and their children: and they eat and drank all up.
+
+And the king rose early in the morning, and Daniel with him. And the king
+said: Are the seals whole, Daniel? and he answered: They are whole, O
+king. And as soon as he had opened the door, the king looked upon the
+table, and cried out with a loud voice Great art thou, O Bel, and there
+is not any deceit with thee. And Daniel laughed: and he held the king
+that he should not go in: and he said: Behold the pavement, mark whose
+footsteps these are. And the king said: I see the footsteps of men, and
+women, and children. And the king was angry. Then he took the priests,
+and their wives, and their children: and they showed him the private
+doors by which they came in, and consumed the things that were on the
+table.
+
+The king therefore put them to death, and delivered Bel into the power of
+Daniel: who destroyed him, and his temple.--Daniel xiv, I-21 (Douay
+Version).
+
+
+
+
+HELIODORUS PUNISHED IN THE TEMPLE.
+
+
+But Heliodorus executed that which he had resolved on, himself being
+present in the same place with his guard about the treasury.
+
+But the spirit of the Almighty God gave a great evidence of his presence,
+so that all that had presumed to obey him, falling down by the power of
+God, were struck with fainting and dread. For there appeared to them a
+horse with a terrible rider upon him, adorned with a very rich covering:
+and he ran fiercely and struck Heliodorus with his fore-feet, and he that
+sat upon him seemed to have armor of gold. Moreover, there appeared two
+other young men, beautiful and strong, bright and glorious, and in comely
+apparel: who stood by him, on either side, and scourged him without
+ceasing with many stripes.
+
+And Heliodorus suddenly fell to the ground, and they took him up covered
+with great darkness, and having put him into a litter they carried him
+out. So he that came with many servants, and all his guard into the
+aforesaid treasury, was carried out, no one being able to help him, the
+manifest power of God being known. And he indeed by the power of God lay
+speechless, and without all hope of recovery.--2 Maccabees iii, 23-29.

+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.  Special rules,
+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to
+protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm concept and trademark.  Project
+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission.  If you
+do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the
+rules is very easy.  You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose
+such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and
+research.  They may be modified and printed and given away--you may do
+practically ANYTHING with public domain eBooks.  Redistribution is
+subject to the trademark license, especially commercial
+redistribution.

+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to

+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See

+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"

+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in

+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning

+States.

+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all

+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+

+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER

+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  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.

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+
+Section 4.  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.
