+
+
+
+
+1
+
+The Nemæan Lion.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+By Juno's hate urged on, Alcmena's Son,
+At sixteen years his noble toils begun.
+Nemæa's dreadful Lion first he sought,
+The savage slew & to Eurystheus brought,
+From his huge sides his shaggy spoils he tore,
+Around him threw, & e'er in triumph wore.
+
+
+
+
+2
+
+The Lernæan Hydra.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+On Lerna's pest th' undaunted Hero rushes,
+With massy club her hundred heads he crushes,
+In vain. One crush'd, two hissing heads arise,
+Till good Iolas to each wound applies
+The burning brand. Dipt in the Hydra's gall,
+His arrows slightest wound is death to all.
+
+
+
+
+3
+
+The Mænalæan Stag.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+A Stag with horns of gold and feet of brass,
+On Mænalus bounds o'er th'unbending grass,
+To Dian sacred, this he's doom'd to bring,
+Unhurt into the presence of the King,
+Forbid to wound, how take a Stag so fleet?
+A twelvemonth's end scarce saw the task complete.
+
+
+
+
+4
+
+The Erymanthian Boar.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+To Erymanthus next his course is bent,
+To seize the Boar by incensed Dian sent,
+The fell destroyer bound he o'er him flings,
+And unto scared Eurystheus quickly brings,
+The trembling Tyrant shrinks aghast with dread,
+And in his brazen Vessel hides his coward head.
+
+
+
+
+5
+
+The Stables of Augeas.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+To cleanse the Augean Stables now he's sped,
+Where thirty years three thousand Oxen fed;
+The task for man too great. A river's course
+He turn'd, & thro' the stables urged its force,
+The tide resistless rolls, and in one day
+The gather'd filth of years is swept away.
+
+
+
+
+6
+
+The Stymphalides.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+The Lake Stymphalus by his arm was freed,
+From those dire birds on human flesh who feed,
+By Pallas' aid the dreadful race subdued,
+No more its banks with whitening bones are strew'd.
+Honour'd by all mankind he now returns,
+But still Eurystheus' envious hatred burns.
+
+
+
+
+7
+
+The Cretan Bull.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+A furious Bull with nostrils breathing fire,
+To punish Minos sent by Neptune's ire,
+Roams wild in vengeance thro' his wide domains,
+And death & terror spreads o'er Crete's fair plains;
+But soon the bellowing beast alive he caught,
+And vainly struggling to Eurystheus brought.
+
+
+
+
+8
+
+Diomedes and his Horses.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+Fell Diomed, whose horses fat with gore,
+His subjects bodies in their mangers tore,
+He next o'erthrew. And as old authors say,
+The Tyrant gave to his own steeds a prey,
+On Mount Olympus rent by savage beasts,
+No more the horses make on man their horrid feasts.
+
+
+
+
+9
+
+The Amazon Hippolite.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+By Fate constrain'd Eurystheus to obey,
+The matchless Hero now must bend his way,
+To gain the golden girdle which adorns
+The Queen of Amazons. Who proudly scorns
+To yield, and in her warriors doth confide--
+But vanquish'd she becomes great Theseus' bride.
+
+
+
+
+10
+
+Geryon.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+A Giant King in Gades once did keep,
+(Unlike their gentle race) carnivorous sheep,
+The triple monster slain, amidst his rocks
+He left to birds a prey, and seiz'd his flocks,
+Which by Eurystheus' order brought away
+He unto Argos safely did convey.
+
+
+
+
+11
+
+Cerberus.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+In fetters Hercules fierce Cerberus tied,
+And took him trembling from grim Pluto's side,
+From realms of darkness drag'd away to light,
+The yelling monster sicken'd at the sight,
+And from his jaws the foam which fell to earth,
+Unto the poisonous Aconite gave birth.
+
+
+
+
+12
+
+The Hesperides.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+To crown his deeds, so wondrous & so great,
+Upon his shoulders vast Olympus' weight
+He bore, while Atlas did the apples bring,
+Which bridal Juno gave to Heaven's dread King.
+And now the dragon guarded apples won,
+The Godlike Hero, saw his Labours done.

+
+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 F3. 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 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.
+

+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,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure

+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.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification

+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/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:
+https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/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.

+or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work

+"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

+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

+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered

+ gbnewby@pglaf.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 http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf
+
+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: http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is 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.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
+eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
+compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
+the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org">http://www.gutenberg.org</a>
+
+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.
+
+EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
+are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to
+download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
+search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
+download by the etext year.
+
+<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/">http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/</a>
+
+ (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
+ 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)
+
+EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
+filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part
+of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is
+identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single
+digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For
+example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:
+
+http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/0/2/3/10234
+
+or filename 24689 would be found at:
+http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/2/4/6/8/24689
+
+An alternative method of locating eBooks:
+<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/GUTINDEX.ALL">http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/GUTINDEX.ALL</a>

+
+
+
+
+1
+
+The Nemaean Lion.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+By Juno's hate urged on, Alcmena's Son,
+At sixteen years his noble toils begun.
+Nemaea's dreadful Lion first he sought,
+The savage slew & to Eurystheus brought,
+From his huge sides his shaggy spoils he tore,
+Around him threw, & e'er in triumph wore.
+
+
+
+
+2
+
+The Lernaean Hydra.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+On Lerna's pest th' undaunted Hero rushes,
+With massy club her hundred heads he crushes,
+In vain. One crush'd, two hissing heads arise,
+Till good Iolas to each wound applies
+The burning brand. Dipt in the Hydra's gall,
+His arrows slightest wound is death to all.
+
+
+
+
+3
+
+The Maenalaean Stag.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+A Stag with horns of gold and feet of brass,
+On Maenalus bounds o'er th'unbending grass,
+To Dian sacred, this he's doom'd to bring,
+Unhurt into the presence of the King,
+Forbid to wound, how take a Stag so fleet?
+A twelvemonth's end scarce saw the task complete.
+
+
+
+
+4
+
+The Erymanthian Boar.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+To Erymanthus next his course is bent,
+To seize the Boar by incensed Dian sent,
+The fell destroyer bound he o'er him flings,
+And unto scared Eurystheus quickly brings,
+The trembling Tyrant shrinks aghast with dread,
+And in his brazen Vessel hides his coward head.
+
+
+
+
+5
+
+The Stables of Augeas.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+To cleanse the Augean Stables now he's sped,
+Where thirty years three thousand Oxen fed;
+The task for man too great. A river's course
+He turn'd, & thro' the stables urged its force,
+The tide resistless rolls, and in one day
+The gather'd filth of years is swept away.
+
+
+
+
+6
+
+The Stymphalides.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+The Lake Stymphalus by his arm was freed,
+From those dire birds on human flesh who feed,
+By Pallas' aid the dreadful race subdued,
+No more its banks with whitening bones are strew'd.
+Honour'd by all mankind he now returns,
+But still Eurystheus' envious hatred burns.
+
+
+
+
+7
+
+The Cretan Bull.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+A furious Bull with nostrils breathing fire,
+To punish Minos sent by Neptune's ire,
+Roams wild in vengeance thro' his wide domains,
+And death & terror spreads o'er Crete's fair plains;
+But soon the bellowing beast alive he caught,
+And vainly struggling to Eurystheus brought.
+
+
+
+
+8
+
+Diomedes and his Horses.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+Fell Diomed, whose horses fat with gore,
+His subjects bodies in their mangers tore,
+He next o'erthrew. And as old authors say,
+The Tyrant gave to his own steeds a prey,
+On Mount Olympus rent by savage beasts,
+No more the horses make on man their horrid feasts.
+
+
+
+
+9
+
+The Amazon Hippolite.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+By Fate constrain'd Eurystheus to obey,
+The matchless Hero now must bend his way,
+To gain the golden girdle which adorns
+The Queen of Amazons. Who proudly scorns
+To yield, and in her warriors doth confide--
+But vanquish'd she becomes great Theseus' bride.
+
+
+
+

+
+Geryon.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+A Giant King in Gades once did keep,
+(Unlike their gentle race) carnivorous sheep,
+The triple monster slain, amidst his rocks
+He left to birds a prey, and seiz'd his flocks,
+Which by Eurystheus' order brought away
+He unto Argos safely did convey.
+
+
+
+
+11
+
+Cerberus.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+In fetters Hercules fierce Cerberus tied,
+And took him trembling from grim Pluto's side,
+From realms of darkness drag'd away to light,
+The yelling monster sicken'd at the sight,
+And from his jaws the foam which fell to earth,
+Unto the poisonous Aconite gave birth.
+
+
+
+
+12
+
+The Hesperides.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+To crown his deeds, so wondrous & so great,
+Upon his shoulders vast Olympus' weight
+He bore, while Atlas did the apples bring,
+Which bridal Juno gave to Heaven's dread King.
+And now the dragon guarded apples won,
+The Godlike Hero, saw his Labours done.

+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 F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE

+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at

+business@pglaf.org. Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at https://www.gutenberg.org/about/contact

+ Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+ Chief Executive and Director
+ gbnewby@pglaf.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 https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/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:
+https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/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.
