"An extraordinary work, which has earned for itself a lasting place in the literature of the country, and within a few years found innumerable readers in every part of the globe. There is no book extant that treats so well of the period to the illustration of which Mr Alison's labours have been devoted. It exhibits great knowledge, patient research, indefatigable industry, and vast power."–Times, Sept. 7, 1850.
CONTINUATION OF ALISON'S HISTORY OF EUROPE

ANNALS OF THE PENINSULAR CAMPAIGNS.
A VISIT TO FLANDERS AND THE FIELD OF WATERLOO.
WELLINGTON'S CAREER:
THE STORY OF THE CAMPAIGN OF SEBASTOPOL.
"We strongly recommend this 'Story of the Campaign' to all who would gain a just comprehension of this tremendous struggle. Of this we are perfectly sure, it is a book unlikely to be ever superseded. Its truth is of that simple and startling character which is sure of an immortal existence; nor is it paying the gallant author too high a complement to class this masterpiece of military history with the most precious of those classic records which have been bequeathed to us by the great writers of antiquity who took part in the wars they have described."–The Press.
THE INVASION OF THE CRIMEA:
TEN YEARS OF IMPERIALISM IN FRANCE.
"There has not been published for many a day a more remarkable book on France than this, which professes to be the impressions of a Flaneur.... It has all the liveliness and sparkle of a work written only for amusement; it has all the solidity and weight of a State paper; and we expect for it not a little political influence as a fair, full, and masterly statement of the Imperial policy–the first and only good account that has been given to Europe of the Napoleonic system now in force."–Times.
FLEETS AND NAVIES.
HISTORY OF GREECE UNDER FOREIGN DOMINATION.
Greece Under the Romans. b.c. 146 to a.d. 717. A Historical View of the Condition of the Greek Nation from its Conquest by the Romans until the Extinction of the Roman Power in the East. Second Edition, 16s.

Medieval Greece and Trebizond. The History of Greece, from its Conquest by the Crusaders to its Conquest by the Turks, a.d. 1204 to 1566; and the History of the Empire of Trebizond, a.d. 1204 to 1461. 12s.
Greece under Othoman and Venetian Domination. a.d. 1453 to 1821. 10s. 6d.
History of the Greek Revolution. 2 vols. 8vo, £1, 4s.
"His book is worthy to take its place among the remarkable works on Greek history, which form one of the chief glories of English scholarship. The history of Greece is but half told without it."–London Guardian.
THE NATIONAL CHARACTER OF THE ATHENIANS.
STUDIES IN ROMAN LAW.
"We know not in the English language where else to look for a history of the Roman law so clear, and, at the same time, so short.... More improving reading, both for the general student and for the lawyer, we cannot well imagine; and there are few, even among learned professional men, who will not gather some novel information from Lord Mackenzie's simple pages."–London Review.
THE EIGHTEEN CHRISTIAN CENTURIES.
THE MONKS OF THE WEST,
HISTORY OF FRANCE,
"An excellent and comprehensive compendium of French history, quite above the standard of a school-book, and particularly well adapted for the libraries of literary institutions."–National Review.

ENGLISH PURITANISM AND ITS LEADERS:
HISTORY OF THE FRENCH PROTESTANT REFUGEES.
HISTORY OF THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND,
HISTORY OF SCOTLAND FROM THE REVOLUTION
LIVES OF THE QUEENS OF SCOTLAND,
"Every step in Scotland is historical: the shades of the dead arise on every side; the very rocks breathe. Miss Strickland's talents as a writer, and turn of mind as an individual, in a peculiar manner fit her for painting a historical gallery of the most illustrious or dignified female characters in that land of chivalry and song."–Blackwood's Magazine.
MEMORIALS OF THE CASTLE OF EDINBURGH.
MEMOIRS OF SIR WILLIAM KIRKALDY OF GRANGE,
MEMOIRS OF SIR JOHN HEPBURN,

THE BOSCOBEL TRACTS;
"'The Boscobel Tracts' is a very curious book, and about as good an example of single subject historical collections as may be found. Originally undertaken, or at least completed, at the suggestion of the late Bishop Copplestone, in 1827, it was carried out with a degree of judgment and taste not always found in works of a similar character."–Spectator.
LIFE OF JOHN DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH.
THE NEW 'EXAMEN;'
"We certainly never saw a more damaging exposure, and it is something worth notice that much of it appeared in 'Blackwood's Magazine' during the lifetime of Lord Macaulay, but he never attempted to make any reply. The charges are so direct, and urged in such unmistakable language, that no writer who valued his character for either accuracy of fact or fairness in comment would let them remain unanswered if he had any reason to give."–Gentleman's Magazine.
AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF THE REV. DR CARLYLE,
"This book contains by far the most vivid picture of Scottish life and manners that has been given to the public since the days of Sir Walter Scott. In bestowing upon it this high praise, we make no exception, not even in favour of Lord Cockburn's 'Memorials'–the book which resembles it most, and which ranks next to it in interest."–Edinburgh Review.
MEMOIR OF THE POLITICAL LIFE OF EDMUND BURKE.
CURRAN AND HIS CONTEMPORARIES.
"Certainly one of the most extraordinary pieces of biography ever produced.... No library should be without it."–Lord Brougham.
"Never, perhaps, was there a more curious collection of portraits crowded before into the same canvass."–Times.

"It is of the handiest of sizes; the paper is good; and the type, which seems to be new, is very clear and beautiful. There are no pictures. The whole charm of the presentment of the volume consists in its handiness, and the tempting clearness and beauty of the type, which almost converts into a pleasure the mere act of following the printer's lines, and leaves the author's mind free to exert its unobstructed force upon the reader."–Examiner.
"Nothing could be better as to size, type, paper, and general get-up."–Athenæum.

TOM CRINGLE'S LOG.
"Everybody who has failed to read 'Tom Cringle's Log' should do so at once. The 'Quarterly Review' went so far as to say that the papers composing it, when it first appeared in 'Blackwood,' were the most brilliant series of the time, and that time one unrivalled for the number of famous magazinists existing in it. Coleridge says, in his 'Table Talk,' that the 'Log' is most excellent; and these verdicts have been ratified by generations of men and boys, and by the manifestation of Continental approval which is shown by repeated translations. The engravings illustrating the present issue are excellent."–Standard.

THE CRUISE OF THE MIDGE.
CHAPTERS ON CHURCHYARDS.
THE SUBALTERN.
CHRONICLES OF CARLINGFORD: SALEM CHAPEL.
"This story, so fresh, so powerfully written, and so tragic, stands out from among its fellows like a piece of newly-coined gold in a handful of dim commonplace shillings. Tales of pastoral experience and scenes from clerical life we have had in plenty, but the sacred things of the conventicle, the relative position of pastor and flock in a Nonconforming 'connection,' were but guessed at by the world outside, and terrible is the revelation."–Westminster Review.

TONY BUTLER.
THE BOOK-HUNTER, ETC.
"A book pleasant to look at and pleasant to read–pleasant from its rich store of anecdote, its geniality, and its humour, even to persons who care little for the subjects of which it treats, but beyond measure delightful to those who are in any degree members of the above-mentioned fraternity."–Saturday Review.
"We have not been more amused for a long time: and every reader who takes interest in typography and its consequences will say the same, if he will begin to read; beginning, he will finish, and be sorry when it is over."–Athenæum.
"Mr Burton has now given us a pleasant book, full of quaint anecdote, and of a lively bookish talk. There is a quiet humour in it which is very taking, and there is a curious knowledge of books which is really very sound."–Examiner.
HOMER AND HIS TRANSLATORS,
"But of all the criticisms on Homer which I have ever had the good fortune to read, in our own or any language, the most vivid and entirely genial are those found in the 'Essays, Critical and Imaginative,' of the late Professor Wilson."–Mr Gladstone's Studies on Homer.
THE SKETCHER.

THE GENIUS OF HANDEL,
BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE,
INDEX TO THE FIRST FIFTY VOLUMES OF BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.
LAYS OF THE SCOTTISH CAVALIERS,
"Professor Aytoun's 'Lays of the Scottish Cavaliers'–a volume of verse which shows that Scotland has yet a poet. Full of the true fire, it now stirs and swells like a trumpet-note–now sinks in cadences sad and wild as the wail of a Highland dirge."–Quarterly Review.
BOTHWELL: A POEM.
"Professor Aytoun has produced a fine poem and an able argument, and 'Bothwell' will assuredly take its stand among the classics of Scottish literature."–The Press.
THE BALLADS OF SCOTLAND.
"No country can boast of a richer collection of Ballads than Scotland, and no Editor for these Ballads could be found more accomplished than Professor Aytoun. He has sent forth two beautiful volumes which range with 'Percy's Reliques'–which, for completeness and accuracy, leave little to be desired–which must henceforth be considered as the standard edition of the Scottish Ballads, and which we commend as a model to any among ourselves who may think of doing like service to the English Ballads."–Times.
POEMS AND BALLADS OF GOETHE.
"There is no doubt that these are the best translations of Goethe's marvellously-cut gems which have yet been published."–Times.
THE BOOK OF BALLADS.
FIRMILIAN; OR, THE STUDENT OF BADAJOS.
"Humour of a kind most rare at all times, and especially in the present day, runs through every page, and passages of true poetry and delicious versification prevent the continual play of sarcasm from becoming tedious."–Literary Gazette.

POEMS.
THE POEMS OF FELICIA HEMANS.
The following Works of Mrs Hemans are sold separately, bound in cloth, gilt edges, 4s. each:–
THE ODYSSEY OF HOMER.
"Mr Worsley,–applying the Spenserian stanza, that beautiful romantic measure, to the most romantic poem of the ancient world–making the stanza yield him, too (what it never yielded to Byron), its treasures of fluidity and sweet ease–above all, bringing to his task a truly poetical sense and skill,–has produced a version of the 'Odyssey' much the most pleasing of those hitherto produced, and which is delightful to read."–Professor Arnold on Translating Homer.
POEMS AND TRANSLATIONS.
POEMS.
POETICAL WORKS OF D. M. MOIR.
LECTURES ON THE POETICAL LITERATURE OF THE PAST HALF-CENTURY.
"A delightful volume."–Morning Chronicle.
"Exquisite in its taste and generous in its criticisms."–Hugh Miller.
THE COURSE OF TIME: A POEM.
"Of deep and hallowed impress, full of noble thoughts and graphic conceptions–the production of a mind alive to the great relations of being, and the sublime simplicity of our religion."–Blackwood's Magazine.
AN ILLUSTRATED EDITION OF THE COURSE OF TIME.
"There has been no modern poem in the English language, of the class to which the 'Course of Time' belongs, since Milton wrote, that can be compared to it. In the present instance the artistic talents of Messrs Foster, Clayton, Tenniel, Evans, Dalziel, Green, and Woods, have been employed in giving expression to the sublimity of the language, by equally exquisite illustrations, all of which are of the highest class."–Bell's Messenger.

THE PHYSICAL ATLAS OF NATURAL PHENOMENA.
"A perfect treasure of compressed information."–Sir John Herschel.
THE PHYSICAL ATLAS.
"Executed with remarkable care, and is as accurate, and, for all educational purposes, as valuable, as the splendid large work (by the same author) which has now a European reputation."–Eclectic Review.
A GEOLOGICAL MAP OF EUROPE.
GEOLOGICAL AND PALÆONTOLOGICAL MAP OF THE BRITISH ISLANDS,
GEOLOGICAL MAP OF SCOTLAND.
INTRODUCTORY TEXT-BOOK OF PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY.
INTRODUCTORY TEXT-BOOK OF GEOLOGY.
"It has not often been our good fortune to examine a text-book on science of which we could express an opinion so entirely favourable as we are enabled to do of Mr Page's little work."–Athenæum.
ADVANCED TEXT-BOOK OF GEOLOGY,
"It is therefore with unfeigned pleasure that we record our appreciation of his 'Advanced Text-Book of Geology.' We have carefully read this truly satisfactory book, and do not hesitate to say that it is an excellent compendium of the great facts of Geology, and written in a truthful and philosophic spirit."–Edinburgh Philosophical Journal.
HANDBOOK OF GEOLOGICAL TERMS, GEOLOGY, AND PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY.
THE PAST AND PRESENT LIFE OF THE GLOBE:
"Mr Page, whose admirable text-books of geology have already secured him a position of importance in the scientific world, will add considerably to his reputation by the present sketch, as he modestly terms it, of the Life-System, or gradual evolution of the vitality of our globe. In no manual that we are aware of have the facts and phenomena of biology been presented in at once so systematic and succinct a form, the successive manifestations of life on the earth set forth in so clear an order, or traced so vividly from the earliest organisms deep-buried in its stratified crust, to the familiar forms that now adorn and people its surface."–Literary Gazette.

EGYPT, THE SOUDAN, AND CENTRAL AFRICA:

"Professor Johnston's admirable Notes.... The very best manual for intelligent emigrants whilst to the British agriculturist and general reader it conveys a more complete conception of the condition of these prosperous regions than all that has hitherto been written."–Economist.
A FAMILY TOUR ROUND THE COASTS OF SPAIN AND PORTUGAL
THE ROYAL ATLAS OF MODERN GEOGRAPHY.
"No one can look through Mr Keith Johnston's new Atlas without seeing that it is the best which has ever been published in this country."–The Times.
"Of the many noble atlases prepared by Mr Johnston and published by Messrs Blackwood & Sons, this Royal Atlas will be the most useful to the public, and will deserve to be the most popular."–Athenæum.
"We know no series of maps which we can more warmly recommend. The accuracy, wherever we have attempted to put it to the test, is really astonishing."–Saturday Review.
"The culmination of all attempts to depict the face of the world appears in the Royal Atlas, than which it is impossible to conceive anything more perfect."–Monday Herald.
"This is, beyond question, the most splendid and luxurious, as well as the most useful and complete, of all existing atlases."–Guardian.
"There has not, we believe, been produced for general public use a body of maps equal in beauty and completeness to the Royal Atlas just issued by Mr A. K. Johnston."–Examiner.
"An almost daily reference to, and comparison of it with others, since the publication of the first part some two years ago until now, enables us to say, without the slightest hesitation, that this is by far the most complete and authentic atlas that has yet been issued."–Scotsman.
"Beyond doubt the greatest geographical work of our time."–Museum.

ON THE ORIGIN AND CONNECTION OF THE GOSPELS OF MATTHEW, MARK, AND LUKE;
INSTITUTES OF METAPHYSIC: THE THEORY OF KNOWING AND BEING.
"We have no doubt, however, that the subtlety and depth of metaphysical genius which his work betrays, its rare display of rigorous and consistent reasonings, and the inimitable precision and beauty of its style on almost every page, must secure for it a distinguished place in the history of philosophical discussion."–Tulloch's Burnett Prize Treatise.
LECTURES ON METAPHYSICS.
LECTURES ON LOGIC.
THORNDALE; OR, THE CONFLICT OF OPINIONS.
"The subjects treated of, and the style–always chaste and beautiful, often attractively grand–in which they are clothed, will not fail to secure the attention of the class for whom the work is avowedly written.... It deals with many of those higher forms of speculation characteristic of the cultivated minds of the age."–North British Review.
GRAVENHURST; OR, THOUGHTS ON GOOD AND EVIL.
"One of those rare books which, being filled with noble and beautiful thoughts, deserves an attentive and thoughtful perusal."–Westminster Review.
A DISCOURSE ON ETHICS OF THE SCHOOL OF PALEY.

SPECULATIVE PHILOSOPHY:
CORNELIUS O'DOWD UPON MEN AND WOMEN, AND OTHER THINGS IN GENERAL.
"The flashes of the author's wit must not blind us to the ripeness of his wisdom, nor the general playfulness of his O'Dowderies allow us to forget the ample evidence that underneath them lurks one of the most earnest and observant spirits of the present time."–Daily Review.
"In truth one of the most delightful volumes of personal reminiscence it has ever been our fortune to peruse."–Globe.

"The best account that has yet been written of the national life and being of Scotland."–Times.
"One of the completest histories that we ever saw of any country."–Saturday Review.
"Not only the most complete and trustworthy history of Scotland yet written, but it will merit a high place among the historical works of our age."–Daily News.
"A great contribution to historical literature."–Scotsman.
"We do not remember to have read so reticent, so calm and dispassionate a history."–Blackwood's Magazine.
"Une grande et belle histoire."–Revue des Deux Mondes.
"This admirable book."–Morning Herald.
COUNT MONTALEMBERT'S HISTORY OF THE MONKS OF THE WEST.
"On the whole, the intellectual interest of the Count's 'Monks of the West' rests mainly on this, that it is the work of a brilliant and accomplished layman and man of the world, dealing with a class of characters who have generally been left to the arid professional handling of ecclesiastical writers. Montalembert sees their life as a whole, and a human whole; and, with all his zeal as an amateur hagiographer, he cannot but view them with some of the independence of a mind trained to letters and politics."–Pall Mall Gazette.
THE HANDY ROYAL ATLAS.
"Is probably the best work of the kind now published."–Times.
"Not only are the present territorial adjustments duly registered in all these maps, but the latest discoveries in Central Asia, in Africa, and America have been delineated with laborious fidelity. Indeed the ample illustration of recent discovery, and of the great groups of dependencies on the British Crown, renders Dr Johnston's the best of all Atlases for English use."–Pall Mall Gazette.
"He has given us in a portable form geography posted to the last discovery and the last Revolution."–Saturday Review.
"This is Mr Keith Johnston's admirable Royal Atlas diminished in bulk and scale so as to be perhaps, fairly entitled to the name of 'handy,' but still not so much diminished but what it constitutes an accurate and useful general Atlas for ordinary households."–Spectator.
"The 'Handy Atlas' is thoroughly deserving of its name. Not only does it contain the latest information, but its size and arrangement render it perfect as a book of reference."–Standard.
THE HANDY HORSE-BOOK;
"As cavalry officer, hunting horseman, coach proprietor, whip, and steeplechase rider, the author has had long and various experience in the management of horses, and he now gives us the cream of his information."–Athenæum.
"He propounds no theories, but embodies in simple untechnical language what he has learned practically."–Sporting Gazette.
PHYSIOLOGY AT THE FARM, IN REARING AND FEEDING THE LIVE STOCK.
CATTLE AND CATTLE-BREEDERS.
HANDY BOOK OF METEOROLOGY.
"A very handy book this, for in its small compass Mr Buchan has stored more and later information than exists in any volume with which we are acquainted."–Symon's Meteorological Magazine.
GEOLOGY FOR GENERAL READERS.
"Few of our handbooks of popular science can be said to have greater or more decisive merit than those of Mr Page on Geology and Palæontology. They are clear and vigorous in style, they never oppress the reader with a pedantic display of learning, nor overwhelm him with a pompous and superfluous terminology; and they have the happy art of taking him straightway to the face of nature herself, instead of leading him by the tortuous and bewildering paths of technical system and artificial classification."–Saturday Review.
"This is one of the best of Mr Page's many good books. It is written in a flowing popular style. Without illustration or any extraneous aid, the narrative must prove attractive to any intelligent reader."–Geological Magazine.

LECTURES ON THE EARLY GREEK PHILOSOPHY,
"These lectures, in so far as they treat of Greek philosophy down to Plato, have been carefully elaborated, and are of much value–of higher value, indeed, than any writings on the same subject in the English language; and in point of clearness, depth, and resolute search after truth, and tenacious hold of it when found, we doubt if they are surpassed in any language.... For our part, we do not know any philosophical writings so fascinating to a young student of philosophy as these early pages."–Scotsman.

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
liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGE.
1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with
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.
1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
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.
1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,

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 are 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.

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 www.gutenberg.org/donate
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 checks, online payments and credit card donations.

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 forty 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:
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.
