JOHN TAYLOR, + +WHO "THINKS HE MIGHT PASS AS A DORMOUSE!" ( +THREE YEARS IN BED AND NEVER A GRUMBLE!) + +[Illustration] + +THE TALE OF GINGER & PICKLES + +BY BEATRIX POTTER + +_Author of "The Tale of Peter Rabbit," &c._ + +[Illustration] + +FREDERICK WARNE + + + + + +1909 by Frederick Warne & Co. + +Printed and bound in Great Britain by +William Clowes Limited, Beccles and London + + + + +[Illustration] + +Once upon a time there was a village shop. The name over the window was +"Ginger and Pickles." + +It was a little small shop just the right size for Dolls--Lucinda and Jane +Doll-cook always bought their groceries at Ginger and Pickles. + +The counter inside was a convenient height for rabbits. Ginger and +Pickles sold red spotty pocket-handkerchiefs at a penny three farthings. + +They also sold sugar, and snuff and galoshes. + +In fact, although it was such a small shop it sold nearly +everything--except a few things that you want in a hurry--like bootlaces, +hair-pins and mutton chops. + +Ginger and Pickles were the people who kept the shop. Ginger was a yellow +tom-cat, and Pickles was a terrier. + +The rabbits were always a little bit afraid of Pickles. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +The shop was also patronized by mice--only the mice were rather afraid of +Ginger. + +Ginger usually requested Pickles to serve them, because he said it made +his mouth water. + +"I cannot bear," said he, "to see them going out at the door carrying +their little parcels." + +"I have the same feeling about rats," replied Pickles, "but it would +never do to eat our own customers; they would leave us and go to Tabitha +Twitchit's." + +"On the contrary, they would go nowhere," replied Ginger gloomily. + +(Tabitha Twitchit kept the only other shop in the village. She did not +give credit.) + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +Ginger and Pickles gave unlimited credit. + +Now the meaning of "credit" is this--when a customer buys a bar of soap, +instead of the customer pulling out a purse and paying for it--she says +she will pay another time. + +And Pickles makes a low bow and says, "With pleasure, madam," and it is +written down in a book. + +The customers come again and again, and buy quantities, in spite of being +afraid of Ginger and Pickles. + +But there is no money in what is called the "till." + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +The customers came in crowds every day and bought quantities, especially +the toffee customers. But there was always no money; they never paid for +as much as a pennyworth of peppermints. + +But the sales were enormous, ten times as large as Tabitha Twitchit's. + +[Illustration] + +As there was always no money, Ginger and Pickles were obliged to eat +their own goods. + +Pickles ate biscuits and Ginger ate a dried haddock. + +They ate them by candle-light after the shop was closed. + +[Illustration] + +When it came to Jan. 1st there was still no money, and Pickles was unable +to buy a dog licence. + +"It is very unpleasant, I am afraid of the police," said Pickles. + +"It is your own fault for being a terrier; _I_ do not require a licence, +and neither does Kep, the Collie dog." + +"It is very uncomfortable, I am afraid I shall be summoned. I have tried +in vain to get a licence upon credit at the Post Office;" said Pickles. +"The place is full of policemen. I met one as I was coming home." + +"Let us send in the bill again to Samuel Whiskers, Ginger, he owes 22/9 +for bacon." + +"I do not believe that he intends to pay at all," replied Ginger. + +[Illustration] + +"And I feel sure that Anna Maria pockets things--Where are all the cream +crackers?" + +"You have eaten them yourself," replied Ginger. + +[Illustration] + +Ginger and Pickles retired into the back parlour. + +They did accounts. They added up sums and sums, and sums. + +"Samuel Whiskers has run up a bill as long as his tail; he has had an +ounce and three-quarters of snuff since October." + +"What is seven pounds of butter at 1/3, and a stick of sealing wax and +four matches?" + +"Send in all the bills again to everybody 'with comp'ts,'" replied Ginger. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +After a time they heard a noise in the shop, as if something had been +pushed in at the door. They came out of the back parlour. There was an +envelope lying on the counter, and a policeman writing in a note-book! + +Pickles nearly had a fit, he barked and he barked and made little rushes. + +"Bite him, Pickles! bite him!" spluttered Ginger behind a sugar-barrel, +"he's only a German doll!" + +The policeman went on writing in his notebook; twice he put his pencil in +his mouth, and once he dipped it in the treacle. + +Pickles barked till he was hoarse. But still the policeman took no notice. +He had bead eyes, and his helmet was sewed on with stitches. + +[Illustration] + +At length on his last little rush--Pickles found that the shop was empty. +The policeman had disappeared. + +But the envelope remained. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +"Do you think that he has gone to fetch a real live policeman? I am afraid +it is a summons," said Pickles. + +"No," replied Ginger, who had opened the envelope, "it is the rates and +taxes, £3 19 11-3/4." + +"This is the last straw," said Pickles, "let us close the shop." + +They put up the shutters, and left. But they have not removed from the +neighbourhood. In fact some people wish they had gone further. + +[Illustration] + +Ginger is living in the warren. I do not know what occupation he pursues; +he looks stout and comfortable. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +Pickles is at present a gamekeeper. + +[Illustration] + +The closing of the shop caused great inconvenience. Tabitha Twitchit +immediately raised the price of everything a half-penny; and she continued +to refuse to give credit. + +Of course there are the trades-men's carts--the butcher, the fish-man and +Timothy Baker. + +But a person cannot live on "seed wigs" and sponge-cake and +butter-buns--not even when the sponge-cake is as good as Timothy's! + +[Illustration] + +After a time Mr. John Dormouse and his daughter began to sell peppermints +and candles. + +But they did not keep "self-fitting sixes"; and it takes five mice to +carry one seven inch candle. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +Besides--the candles which they sell behave very strangely in warm +weather. + +[Illustration] + +And Miss Dormouse refused to take back the ends when they were brought +back to her with complaints. + +And when Mr. John Dormouse was complained to, he stayed in bed, and would +say nothing but "very snug;" which is not the way to carry on a retail +business. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +So everybody was pleased when Sally Henny Penny sent out a printed poster +to say that she was going to re-open the shop--"Henny's Opening Sale! +Grand co-operative Jumble! Penny's penny prices! Come buy, come try, come +buy!" + +The poster really was most 'ticing. + +[Illustration] + +There was a rush upon the opening day. The shop was crammed with +customers, and there were crowds of mice upon the biscuit canisters. + +Sally Henny Penny gets rather flustered when she tries to count out +change, and she insists on being paid cash; but she is quite harmless. + +[Illustration] + +And she has laid in a remarkable assortment of bargains. + +There is something to please everybody. + + + + + +End of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles, by Beatrix Potter + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF GINGER AND PICKLES *** + +***** This file should be named 14877-8.txt or 14877-8.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/1/4/8/7/14877/ + +Produced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online +Distributed Proofreading Team. + + +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.

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. diff --git a/14877-8.zip b/14877-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..03ec712 --- /dev/null +++ b/14877-8.zip diff --git a/14877-h.zip b/14877-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..102f100 --- /dev/null +++ b/14877-h.zip diff --git a/14877-h/14877-h.htm b/14877-h/14877-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f85943f --- /dev/null +++ b/14877-h/14877-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,891 @@ +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> + +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> + <head> + <title> + The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Tale Of Ginger and Pickles, by Beatrix Potter. + </title> + <style type="text/css"> +/*<![CDATA[ XML blockout */ +<!-- + p { margin-top: .75em; + text-align: justify; + margin-bottom: .75em; + } + h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 { + text-align: center; /* all headings centered */ + clear: both; + } + hr { width: 33%; + margin-top: 2em; + margin-bottom: 2em; + margin-left: auto; + margin-right: auto; + clear: both; + } + + table {margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;} + + body{margin-left: 25%; + margin-right: 25%; + } + + .linenum {position: absolute; top: auto; left: 4%;} /* poetry number */ + .blockquot{margin-left: 5%; margin-right: 10%;} + .pagenum {position: absolute; left: 92%; font-size: smaller; text-align: right;} /* page numbers */ + .sidenote {width: 20%; padding-bottom: .5em; padding-top: .5em; + padding-left: .5em; padding-right: .5em; margin-left: 1em; + float: right; clear: right; margin-top: 1em; + font-size: smaller; background: #eeeeee; border: dashed 1px;} + + .bb {border-bottom: solid 2px;} + .bl {border-left: solid 2px;} + .bt {border-top: solid 2px;} + .br {border-right: solid 2px;} + .bbox {border: solid 2px;} + + .center {text-align: center;} + .smcap {font-variant: small-caps;} + + .figcenter {margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;} + + .figleft {float: left; clear: left; margin-left: 0; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: + 1em; margin-right: 1em; padding: 0; text-align: center;} + + .figright {float: right; clear: right; margin-left: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; + margin-top: 1em; margin-right: 0; padding: 0; text-align: center;} + + .footnotes {border: dashed 1px;} + .footnote {margin-left: 10%; margin-right: 10%; font-size: 0.9em;} + .footnote .label {position: absolute; right: 84%; text-align: right;} + .fnanchor {vertical-align: super; font-size: .8em; text-decoration: none;} + + .poem {margin-left:10%; margin-right:10%; text-align: left;} + .poem br {display: none;} + .poem .stanza {margin: 1em 0em 1em 0em;} + .poem span {display: block; margin: 0; padding-left: 3em; text-indent: -3em;} + .poem span.i2 {display: block; margin-left: 2em;} + .poem span.i4 {display: block; margin-left: 4em;} + // --> + /* XML end ]]>*/ + </style> + </head> +<body> + + +<pre> + +Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles, by Beatrix Potter + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

Ginger and +Pickles sold red spotty pocket-handkerchiefs at a penny three farthings.</p> + +<p>They also sold sugar, and snuff and galoshes.</p> + +<p>In fact, although it was such a small shop it sold nearly +everything—except a few things that you want in a hurry—like bootlaces, +hair-pins and mutton chops.</p> + +<p>Ginger and Pickles were the people who kept the shop. Ginger was a yellow +tom-cat, and Pickles was a terrier.</p> + +<p>The rabbits were always a little bit afraid of Pickles.</p> + +<div class="figcenter"> +<img src="images/ginger_fig13.jpg" +alt="Ginger and Pickles" title="" /> +<br /><br /></div> + +<div class="figcenter"> +<img src="images/grayp14.png" +alt="Ginger looking after mice" title="" /> +<br /><br /></div> + +<p>The shop was also patronized by mice—only the mice were rather afraid of +Ginger.</p> + +<p>Ginger usually requested Pickles to serve them, because he said it made +his mouth water.</p> + +<p>"I cannot bear," said he, "to see them going out at the door carrying +their little parcels."</p> + +<p>"I have the same feeling about rats," replied Pickles, "but it would +never do to eat our own customers; they would leave us and go to Tabitha +Twitchit's."</p> + +<p>"On the contrary, they would go nowhere," replied Ginger gloomily.</p> + +<p>(Tabitha Twitchit kept the only other shop in the village.

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. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/14877-h/images/ginger_cover1.png b/14877-h/images/ginger_cover1.png Binary files differnew

JOHN TAYLOR, + +WHO "THINKS HE MIGHT PASS AS A DORMOUSE!" ( +THREE YEARS IN BED AND NEVER A GRUMBLE!) + +[Illustration] + +THE TALE OF GINGER & PICKLES + +BY BEATRIX POTTER + +_Author of "The Tale of Peter Rabbit," &c._ + +[Illustration] + +FREDERICK WARNE + + + + + +1909 by Frederick Warne & Co. + +Printed and bound in Great Britain by +William Clowes Limited, Beccles and London + + + + +[Illustration] + +Once upon a time there was a village shop. The name over the window was +"Ginger and Pickles." + +It was a little small shop just the right size for Dolls--Lucinda and Jane +Doll-cook always bought their groceries at Ginger and Pickles. + +The counter inside was a convenient height for rabbits. Ginger and +Pickles sold red spotty pocket-handkerchiefs at a penny three farthings. + +They also sold sugar, and snuff and galoshes. + +In fact, although it was such a small shop it sold nearly +everything--except a few things that you want in a hurry--like bootlaces, +hair-pins and mutton chops. + +Ginger and Pickles were the people who kept the shop. Ginger was a yellow +tom-cat, and Pickles was a terrier. + +The rabbits were always a little bit afraid of Pickles. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +The shop was also patronized by mice--only the mice were rather afraid of +Ginger. + +Ginger usually requested Pickles to serve them, because he said it made +his mouth water. + +"I cannot bear," said he, "to see them going out at the door carrying +their little parcels." + +"I have the same feeling about rats," replied Pickles, "but it would +never do to eat our own customers; they would leave us and go to Tabitha +Twitchit's." + +"On the contrary, they would go nowhere," replied Ginger gloomily. + +(Tabitha Twitchit kept the only other shop in the village. She did not +give credit.) + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +Ginger and Pickles gave unlimited credit. + +Now the meaning of "credit" is this--when a customer buys a bar of soap, +instead of the customer pulling out a purse and paying for it--she says +she will pay another time. + +And Pickles makes a low bow and says, "With pleasure, madam," and it is +written down in a book. + +The customers come again and again, and buy quantities, in spite of being +afraid of Ginger and Pickles. + +But there is no money in what is called the "till." + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +The customers came in crowds every day and bought quantities, especially +the toffee customers. But there was always no money; they never paid for +as much as a pennyworth of peppermints. + +But the sales were enormous, ten times as large as Tabitha Twitchit's. + +[Illustration] + +As there was always no money, Ginger and Pickles were obliged to eat +their own goods. + +Pickles ate biscuits and Ginger ate a dried haddock. + +They ate them by candle-light after the shop was closed. + +[Illustration] + +When it came to Jan. 1st there was still no money, and Pickles was unable +to buy a dog licence. + +"It is very unpleasant, I am afraid of the police," said Pickles. + +"It is your own fault for being a terrier; _I_ do not require a licence, +and neither does Kep, the Collie dog." + +"It is very uncomfortable, I am afraid I shall be summoned. I have tried +in vain to get a licence upon credit at the Post Office;" said Pickles. +"The place is full of policemen. I met one as I was coming home." + +"Let us send in the bill again to Samuel Whiskers, Ginger, he owes 22/9 +for bacon." + +"I do not believe that he intends to pay at all," replied Ginger. + +[Illustration] + +"And I feel sure that Anna Maria pockets things--Where are all the cream +crackers?" + +"You have eaten them yourself," replied Ginger. + +[Illustration] + +Ginger and Pickles retired into the back parlour. + +They did accounts. They added up sums and sums, and sums. + +"Samuel Whiskers has run up a bill as long as his tail; he has had an +ounce and three-quarters of snuff since October." + +"What is seven pounds of butter at 1/3, and a stick of sealing wax and +four matches?" + +"Send in all the bills again to everybody 'with comp'ts,'" replied Ginger. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +After a time they heard a noise in the shop, as if something had been +pushed in at the door. They came out of the back parlour. There was an +envelope lying on the counter, and a policeman writing in a note-book! + +Pickles nearly had a fit, he barked and he barked and made little rushes. + +"Bite him, Pickles! bite him!" spluttered Ginger behind a sugar-barrel, +"he's only a German doll!" + +The policeman went on writing in his notebook; twice he put his pencil in +his mouth, and once he dipped it in the treacle. + +Pickles barked till he was hoarse. But still the policeman took no notice. +He had bead eyes, and his helmet was sewed on with stitches. + +[Illustration] + +At length on his last little rush--Pickles found that the shop was empty. +The policeman had disappeared. + +But the envelope remained. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +"Do you think that he has gone to fetch a real live policeman? I am afraid +it is a summons," said Pickles. + +"No," replied Ginger, who had opened the envelope, "it is the rates and +taxes, L3 19 11-3/4." + +"This is the last straw," said Pickles, "let us close the shop." + +They put up the shutters, and left. But they have not removed from the +neighbourhood. In fact some people wish they had gone further. + +[Illustration] + +Ginger is living in the warren. I do not know what occupation he pursues; +he looks stout and comfortable. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +Pickles is at present a gamekeeper. + +[Illustration] + +The closing of the shop caused great inconvenience. Tabitha Twitchit +immediately raised the price of everything a half-penny; and she continued +to refuse to give credit. + +Of course there are the trades-men's carts--the butcher, the fish-man and +Timothy Baker. + +But a person cannot live on "seed wigs" and sponge-cake and +butter-buns--not even when the sponge-cake is as good as Timothy's! + +[Illustration] + +After a time Mr. John Dormouse and his daughter began to sell peppermints +and candles. + +But they did not keep "self-fitting sixes"; and it takes five mice to +carry one seven inch candle. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +Besides--the candles which they sell behave very strangely in warm +weather. + +[Illustration] + +And Miss Dormouse refused to take back the ends when they were brought +back to her with complaints. + +And when Mr. John Dormouse was complained to, he stayed in bed, and would +say nothing but "very snug;" which is not the way to carry on a retail +business. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +So everybody was pleased when Sally Henny Penny sent out a printed poster +to say that she was going to re-open the shop--"Henny's Opening Sale! +Grand co-operative Jumble! Penny's penny prices! Come buy, come try, come +buy!" + +The poster really was most 'ticing. + +[Illustration] + +There was a rush upon the opening day. The shop was crammed with +customers, and there were crowds of mice upon the biscuit canisters. + +Sally Henny Penny gets rather flustered when she tries to count out +change, and she insists on being paid cash; but she is quite harmless. + +[Illustration] + +And she has laid in a remarkable assortment of bargains. + +There is something to please everybody. + + + + + +End of Project Gutenberg's The Tale of Ginger and Pickles, by Beatrix Potter + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE TALE OF GINGER AND PICKLES *** + +***** This file should be named 14877.txt or 14877.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/1/4/8/7/14877/ + +Produced by Robert Cicconetti, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online +Distributed Proofreading Team. + + +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.

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. diff --git a/14877.zip b/14877.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..3e24cb4 --- /dev/null +++ b/14877.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
