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. + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Dore Gallery of Bible +Illustrations, Volume 5, by Anonymous, Illustrated by Gustave Dore + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK DORE BIBLE GALLERY, VOL. 5 *** + +***** This file should be named 8705.txt or 8705.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/8/7/0/8705/ + +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. |
