    My recent publication on _Head-Gear, Antique and Modern_,
    will be delivered to all our customers. Should there be any
    who do not receive a copy, they will do me a favor by making
    application at the store where they will be supplied. I take
    great pleasure in presenting the only work exclusively devoted
    to this subject ever published, trusting a perusal of its
    pages will be at least interesting, if not instructive. I have
    used every effort to make it a correct description of styles,
    beginning with Egypt in the days of the Pharaohs (dating back
    nearly six thousand years) and ending with modern Paris, giving
    some twenty pages of beautifully executed illustrations, and
    thirty pages of descriptive essays and quotations from ancient
    and modern writers.

    We solicit continuance of your patronage this coming season,
    and feel confident that with a rich and varied assortment of
    millinery goods and perfect artists we shall be able to sustain
    our motto “_CORRECT STYLES_.”

                        Respectfully yours,

INTRODUCTION.


The object of this work is to give an idea of the fashions in head-gear
of ancient and modern times, which to most people are very interesting.
To obtain anything like a correct description thereof, it is necessary
to consult not only history, but also laws, poems, and biographies.
For this, few have opportunity or inclination; and this work is an
earnest endeavor to supply in a condensed form what I have found to be a
_desideratum_; and I believe it contains a correct description of styles
not to be found in any other work, and no statement is made without the
most patient study and research.

As civilization and mental improvement advance in any country, a laudable
curiosity is awakened to inquire into, and become acquainted with, the
appearances, manners, and opinions of other nations and times. To gratify
this curiosity, and to assist in this effort to be informed respecting
the individual manners and customs, the external appearance, and the
general fashions of different peoples and periods, this work is issued,
presenting to the eye a series of judiciously selected and well executed
representations of the original and ancient head-dress, and quotations
and facts gleaned from ancient history to verify their correctness.

Trusting this work will interest, if not benefit, its readers,

                         I remain, respectfully,

                                                          R. H. WADLEIGH.

    Catching all the oddities, the whimsies, the absurdities, and
    the littlenesses of conscious greatness by the way.

        Backward, turn backward,
        O time, in your flight!

        Onward, still onward,
        Seeking knowledge and light.

Perhaps the most ancient head-dress that we find mentioned in history is
the tiara. Strabo informs us that it was in the form of a tower.

It is often seen carved upon ancient medals, and Servius calls it
a Phrygian cap. The kings and heroes of Homer and Virgil wore this
head-dress:—

    This royal robe and this tiara wore
          Old Priam.

Woman is defined by an ancient writer to be an “animal that delights in
finery”; and it is to be feared the annals of dress in every land, the
most savage as well as the most civilized, will but prove the truth of
the assertion.

[Illustration: 1

Funeral Boat. Tomb of the Kings.—Thebes.]

A caul is a very ancient head-dress; it is mentioned in the Bible, and by
many old writers; it was usually made of net-work, of gold or silk, and
enclosed all the hair. Some were set with jewels, and were very heavy and
of great value. In the time of Virgil cauls were much worn:—

    Her head with ringlets of her hair is crowned,
    And in a golden caul the curls are bound.

    Her hair’s fair ornaments, the braids that bound,
    The net that held them and the wreath that crowned.

                                                      _Homer._

    O’er her fair face a snowy veil she threw,
    And, softly sighing, from the loom withdrew.

[Illustration: 2

Females. Musicians from Theban Tombs. In the reign of Menes, 3893 years
B.C.]

It appears that females were the chief musicians, and these were probably
ladies of rank, for they are robed in that delicate texture which was
then called “Woven Air.”

The figures on the opposite page give an illustration of Chinese women in
full dress. Fig. 3 represents a married lady with her hair tied on top of
the head. A quantity of false hair was used to make a tuft as large as
possible, filled with gold or silver pins, the ends of which were highly
ornamented with jewels. Artificial flowers were often used to ornament
the head. But the favorite coiffure—the object of a Chinese lady’s
greatest admiration—was an artificial bird, formed of gold or silver,
intended to represent Fong-Whang, a fabulous bird of which the ancients
relate many marvellous tales. It was worn in such a manner that the wings
stretched over the front of the head; the spreading tail made a kind of
plume on the top, and the body was placed over the forehead, while the
neck and beak hung down; and the former, being fastened to the body with
an invisible hinge, vibrated with the least motion.

[Illustration: 3 4]

The recorded history of China begins 2697 years before Christ.

The above figures, Nos. 3 and 4, represent the head-dress and costumes of
a later date.

The researches of scholars and critics which have been so generously and
successfully lavished, for the last two centuries, upon the ruins of
Egypt, are perfectly marvellous, and only increase our desire to be more
acquainted with its customs, of which we can find but little in the way
of head-dress to ornament these pages. Figure 7, on the opposite page,
represents King Rameses First and his queen, who reigned through the most
illustrious period of Egyptian history, in the nineteenth dynasty, about
1411 B.C.

[Illustration: 5 6

King Rameses and his Queen, B.C. 1411.]

In the early history of Rome, 550 years B.C., in the reign of Servius
Tullius, there seems to have been nothing whatever of head-dress.

Thus we read in the “Æneid”:—

    Bare were her knees, and knots her garments bind;
    Loose was her hair and wanton’d in the wind.

Ribbons or fillets were a very general head-dress.

Thus Virgil says:—

    In perfect view their hair with fillets tied.
    Her beauteous breast she beat and rent her flowing hair.

Strabo says, that in Athens it consisted of a wreath of myrtle leaves and
roses around the head, forming a corobulus.

The hair over the forehead of Apollo Belvidere is an example of a
corobulus. And the hair was twined or spun around a spindle, in the shape
of a cone, and one or more of these projected from the crown of the head,
with a golden grasshopper for ornament, as seen in Fig. 10.

Four hundred and eighty years B.C., hats were not worn as a rule, and
dress was in simple style. It was considered improper for women to
be seen on the street, and their appearance there occurred only on
exceptional occasions.

[Illustration: 8 9 10 11 12

Athens.]

On journeys, women wore a light, broad-brimmed petasos, which Figs. 8
and 11 represent, as a protection from the sun. At a late period the
head-dress of Athenian ladies, at home and for the street, consisted, in
addition to the customary veil, chiefly of different contrivances for
holding together their plentiful hair.

At an early period, Greek women wore longer or shorter veils, which
covered the face up to the eyes, and, falling over the neck and back in
heavy folds, covered the whole upper part of the body.

We often find instances of the exquisite taste of these head-dresses
in statuary and gems of ancient origin; at the same time it must be
confessed that most modern fashions, even the ugly ones, have their
models, if not in Greek, at least in Roman antiquity.

A ribbon used to be worn around the head, tied in front with an elaborate
knot. The net—after it the ’kerchief—was developed from the simple
ribbon, in the same manner as straps on the feet gradually became boots.

The head-dress of the women, as well as their costumes, were different at
different periods, as figures on preceding page illustrate.

[Illustration: 13 14 15 16

Greece.]

Homer frequently mentions the veil as a part of the attire of the Grecian
and Trojan ladies.

Of Helen, he says:—

    O’er her fair face a snowy veil she threw,
    And, softly sighing, from the loom withdrew.

The ancient head-dress of the Irish appears to be but little known till
the twelfth century, when it is said to have been much the same as that
worn by the Southern Britons.

[Illustration: 17 18

England, A.D. 450.]

In ancient Britain, from the earliest time to the arrival of the Saxons,
A.D. 450, we can find no mention made of ladies’ head-dress, and but
little is mentioned until about 1066, and even at this date not any style
existed, although Anglo-Saxon females of all ranks wore a veil, or long
piece of linen or silk wrapped around the head and neck. This part of
their dress was exceedingly unbecoming, perhaps partly owing to the want
of skill in the artists, and this head-dress was seldom worn except when
they went from home (see figures on preceding page), as the hair itself
was cherished and ornamented with as much attention as in modern times.

In an Anglo-Saxon poem the heroine is called, “The maid of the Creator
with twisted locks.”

About this time the fashions began to travel northward from Italy,
through Paris to London, and caps, hats, and bonnets of various and
fantastic shapes were introduced.

(See figures opposite.)

As Shakspeare said:—

    Report of fashions in proud Italy,
    Whose manners still our tardy, apish nation
    Limps after, in base imitation.

                           _Richard II., Act II., Scene 1._

[Illustration: 19 20

England, A.D. 1300.]

In England, artificial flowers were unknown till the reign of Edward
III., A.D. 1041.

Artificial flowers, those beautiful imitations of the “stars of the
earth,” are brought to such perfection that they almost rival the
blossoms they are intended to imitate.

In France, during the reign of Charles VIII., in 1483, it is recorded
that head-dresses were lowered considerably; but in the portrait of Mary
of Burgundy, we find that she still wore the favorite towering cap that
had been fashionable for two hundred years before her time, with the
veil hanging to the ground and a square piece lying upon the neck and
shoulders.

It is a hard thing to say, but the women might have carried the Gothic
building, this steeple head-dress, much higher had it not been for a
famous monk, Thomas Conects by name, who attacked it with great zeal and
resolution.

This holy man travelled around to preach down this monstrous style, and
succeeded so well, that, as the magicians sacrificed their books to the
flames upon the preaching of an Apostle, so many of the women threw down
their head-dresses in the middle of his sermon, and made a bonfire of
them within sight of the pulpit. He was so renowned, as well for the
sanctity of his life as his manner of preaching, that he would often
have twenty thousand people at a time to listen to him. The men placed
themselves on one side of the pulpit and the women on the other, and
the latter appeared (to use the similitude of an ingenious writer) like
a forest of cedars with their heads reaching to the clouds, but, like
snails in a fright, drew their horns in, to shoot them out again as soon
as the danger was gone.

[Illustration: 21 1000, A.D. 22 1000, A.D. 23 1200, A.D.

Whenever they wore them in public, they were pelted down by the rabble
with stones; but, nevertheless, they mounted them again after a short
time. The customs of the Norman peasants in many respects differ from
those of Britain. The head-dress called Burgonin is the most remarkable
and conspicuous part of their attire.

The weaving of gold and silver threads into ribbon and cloth, which is
now in use, is no new idea; it was ascribed by Pliny to King Attalus,
about sixteen hundred years ago.

[Illustration: 26 27 28

French, A.D. 1400.]

    “Here, on a fair one’s head-dress, sparkling sticks,
    Swinging on silver springs, a coach and six;
    There, on a sprig or slop’d pourpon, you see
    A chariot, sulky, chaise, or vis-a-vis.”

In the same poem we read:—

    “Nelly! where is the creature fled?
    Put my post-chaise upon my head.”

In Germany the styles seem to have differed but little from those of
France, as, no doubt, France at that date furnished the styles for the
world, as she does to-day.

Fig. 32 was copied from the “Nuremberg Chronicle” of A.D. 1493.

    Fashion wears out more than women do.

[Illustration: 32 33 34

As we advance in these pages one would suppose we ought to be exhibiting
styles more quiet; but, on the contrary, when we look at Figures 38 and
39, which have been selected from miniatures in MSS., it would seem that
improvement was made in the wrong direction.

The caps shown on the opposite page, in Figs. 40, 41, and 42, were worn
in the reign of William and Mary in 1688, and were quite becoming.

In 1750 there was a change for the worse, and as we advance to Figs. 43,
44, and 45, we find them ridiculous.

In 1789, as in Figs. 46 and 47, there is nothing added to their beauty.

    Here fashion, motley goddess, changing still,
    Finds ready subjects to obey her will,
    Who laugh at nature and her simple rules.

[Illustration: 38 39

Figures 48 and 49, illustrating the Restoration of A.D. 1830, indicate a
reaction against the Voltairean philosophy and French Revolution, and a
return to chivalry and devotion.

At this period they were heart-shape in front, in remembrance of Mary
Stuart, imitating an open carriage, hiding the charms of the fair face
underneath from the passer-by.

In 1850 a modification is observable, as shown in Fig. 50.

As we arrive at the fashions of 1870 (Fig. 51), we begin to feel more at
home. Of course each generation thinks its own styles are just right, but
in centuries to come modistes, no doubt, will look back upon our present
styles as we do on the fashions of centuries past.

Such is life.

LADIES’ DRESS CAPS.

As yet no mention has been made of caps, but a great many of the
illustrations of simple head-covering resemble caps more than hats or
bonnets, although not so designated. Figs. 52, 53, and 54 are dress caps
worn by the French in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Fig. 55
shows a new style of dress cap called the “Thyra,” composed of Bretonne
lace, ribbon, and flowers; the crown being of dotted lace.

Fig. 56 is a muslin breakfast cap called the “Langtry,” made of
Valenciennes lace, falling over the front, finished with an Alsatian bow,
and the crown of Swiss muslin.

Fig. 57 is a new and novel idea called the “Turban,” composed entirely
of a large silk handkerchief. This is much worn for a dinner or evening
toilet. The last three styles are taken from the originals at

On the opposite page (Fig. 58) is an illustration of the very latest
Paris bonnet by Madame Magnièr.

The foundation is heavy corded silk of cream-color, with an immense
wreath of Mignonette covering the front of the crown and drooping
gracefully to the left, with face-trimming of a simple knot of Bretonne
lace.

Fig. 59, designed and executed at Wadleigh’s, is a white French chip.
The face of the bonnet has alternate pipings of light-blue and cardinal
satin, with a shirring of the latter. The outside is composed of a knot
and twist of Sultan silk mingled with Bretonne lace, a fine wreath of
forget-me-nots, and drooping cardinal buds, with Bretonne lace ties.
Figs. 60 and 61 are also copies of the latest spring designs.

Fashion now assumes a most important place in the domestic economy of
nations.

[Illustration: 58 59 60 61]

Fashion is the only tyrant against whom modern civilization has not
carried on a crusade with success, and its power is still as unlimited
and despotic as ever. There is no part of the body which has been more
exposed to the vicissitudes of fashion than the head, both as regards its
natural covering of hair and the artificial covering of hats and bonnets.

For a long period the world has acknowledged the French to be leaders of
fashion. We look to Madame Virot, and other leading modistes of Paris,
from season to season, for what might be termed first ideas, but still in
all we are obliged to soften down and modify them to suit the more simple
taste of American ladies.


ANCIENT MOURNING COSTUMES,

the outward signs of woe and sorrow, have always been demonstrated by
some peculiarity in color in all nations.

The Roman women under the Republic wore black; under the Emperors white
was adopted.

Grecian women covered their faces and wear black.

The Chinese, Siamese, and Japanese wear white.

Turks wear blue or violet.

Ethiopians wear gray.

Peruvians wear mouse-color.

Spaniards formerly wore white serge.

Italian women formerly wore white, the men brown.

Syria and Armenia wear blue.

In France, mourning apparel was formerly white.

The following explanation has been given of the cause of the adoption of
different colors for the symbol of mourning:—

White is the emblem of purity; celestial blue indicates the space where
the soul ranges after death; yellow (or dead leaf) exhibits death as the
end of hope, and man falling like the leaf in autumn; gray is the color
of the earth, our common mother; black—the color of mourning now general
throughout Europe—indicates eternal night. “Black,” says Rabelais, “is
the sign of mourning, because it is the color of darkness, which is
melancholy, and the opposite to white, which is the color of light, of
joy, and of happiness.”




FINALE.


The first thing that a woman should consider in preparing for the great
work, her toilette, is the shape of her head, which she must also compare
with her stature. The art of dressing the head and the art of fashion
are connected without being identical, and in spite of their close union
we can readily distinguish them. Whatever may be the material, it is
important not to forget that variety is the enemy of severity.

A single color freely used by itself would be more severe than several
colors. Let there be no mistake: there are many things in the bonnet
which do not depend upon fashion, which are released from its absolute
yet limited control. We must be clearly understood: the suitableness of a
bonnet may vary.

A bonnet which would appear smart in the city may be elegant and suitable
for the country or for the sea-side, provided the rest of the dress is
in keeping. At such times a little liberty is allowable. Flowers have a
great deal of character, also feathers, ribbons, lace, and gauze. It
is only a slight thread that connects these with our feelings, but that
slight thread is never broken.

In closing with these few suggestions, it would be well to remark that it
is very important when ladies are making their selections for head-dress,
and are not fully decided in their wants, it is generally well to yield
to the judgment of those who make it a study, providing they are sure
that they are in the hands of such of experience. An observing person,
in attending our fashionable churches, operas, or even promenading the
streets, cannot fail to notice how comparatively small the number of
ladies who wear a suitable and becoming style head-dress. It has often
been remarked by some of our leading modistes, that only one lady in
twenty has the head becomingly dressed, showing that in selecting they
have not studied their complexion, stature, and general style, when the
expense would really have been no greater had they done so.

    So the multitude goes, like the flower or weed
      That withers away to let others succeed;
    So the multitude comes, even those we behold,
      To repeat every tale that has often been told.




LATER.


One of God’s eternal laws is that nothing stands still. A nation is
always changing for better or worse. A people either marches towards
perfection or retrogrades. Every bud that blossoms seemingly throws out
some new delicate fragrance; every day, every hour, something new and
startling falls upon the ear. Every fresh thought that rushes into the
mind of the inventor marches with electric speed to further development.
Those who have carefully studied the subject of this work well know what
grand and noble strides fashion has taken towards perfection, without
reaching it, however, as the result of one day’s delay in going to press
necessitates a still later style. (See following page.)

    Another thought, another stride, another whim!
    Fashion! O fashion! where wilt thou end?

things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this
agreement and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm
electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.

1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the
Foundation" or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection
of Project 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 unprotected by copyright law 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 a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States,
check the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this
agreement 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 the copyright status of any work in any
country outside the United States.

performed, viewed, copied or distributed:

  This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and
  most other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no
  restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it

  United States, you'll have to check the laws of the country where you
  are located before using this ebook.

1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is
derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (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 through 1.E.7 or
obtain permission for the use of the work and the Project Gutenberg-tm
trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any
additional terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms
will be linked to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works
posted with the permission of the copyright holder found at the
beginning of this work.

License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.

electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
Gutenberg-tm License.

1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,

to or distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format
other than "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official
version posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site
(www.gutenberg.org), you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense
to the user, provide a copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means
of obtaining a copy upon request, of the work in its original "Plain
Vanilla ASCII" or other form. Any alternate format must include the
full Project Gutenberg-tm License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

  agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project
  Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid
  within 60 days following each date on which you prepare (or are
  legally required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty
  payments should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project
  Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in
  Section 4, "Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg
  Literary Archive Foundation."

* You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
  you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
  does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
  License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all
  copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue
  all use of and all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg-tm
  works.

* You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of
  any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
  electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days of
  receipt of the work.

  distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.

from both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and The
Project Gutenberg Trademark LLC, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm
trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
works not protected by U.S. copyright law 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.

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

LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGE.

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

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. 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 information page at
www.gutenberg.org

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. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.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 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 not protected by copyright 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.
