+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be

+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"

+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 in the public domain 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

+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

+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or

+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:

+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (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

+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+     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

+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

+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 MERCHANTIBILITY 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,
+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
+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 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.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  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.

+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at

+     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://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.

+
+Lord Roehampton
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+During a late election Lord
+Roehampton strained a vocal chord
+From shouting, very loud and high,
+To lots and lots of people why
+The Budget in his own opin-
+-Ion should not be allowed to win.
+
+He
+
+[Illustration]
+
+            sought a Specialist, who said:
+"You have a swelling in the head:
+Your Larynx is a thought relaxed
+And you are greatly over-taxed."
+
+"I am indeed! On every side!"
+The Earl (for such he was) replied
+
+[Illustration]
+
+In hoarse excitement.... "Oh! My Lord,
+You jeopardize your vocal chord!"
+Broke in the worthy Specialist.
+"Come! Here's the treatment! I insist!
+To Bed! to Bed! And do not speak
+A single word till Wednesday week,
+When I will come and set you free
+(If you are cured) and take my fee."
+
+On Wednesday week the Doctor hires
+A Brand-new Car with Brand-new Tyres
+And Brand-new Chauffeur all complete
+For visiting South Audley Street.
+
+      *      *      *      *      *
+
+But what is this? No Union Jack
+Floats on the Stables at the back!
+No Toffs escorting Ladies fair
+Perambulate the Gay Parterre.
+A 'Scutcheon hanging lozenge-wise
+And draped in crape appals his eyes
+Upon the mansion's ample door,
+To which he wades through
+
+[Illustration]
+
+                     heaps of Straw,[A]
+And which a Butler
+
+[A] This is the first and only time
+That I have used this sort of Rhyme.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+                           drowned in tears,
+On opening but confirms his fears:
+"Oh! Sir!--Prepare to hear the worst!...
+Last night my kind old master burst.
+And what is more, I doubt if he
+Has left enough to pay your fee.
+The Budget----"
+
+                      With a dreadful oath,
+The Specialist,
+
+[Illustration]
+
+                      denouncing both
+The Budget _and_ the House of Lords,
+Buzzed angrily Bayswaterwards.
+
+      *      *      *      *      *
+
+And ever since, as I am told,
+Gets it beforehand; and in gold.
+
+
+
+
+Lord Calvin
+
+
+Lord Calvin thought the Bishops should not sit
+As Peers of Parliament.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+                                  And _argued_ it!
+In spite of which, for years, and years, and years,
+They went on sitting with their fellow-peers.
+
+
+
+
+Lord Henry Chase
+
+
+What happened to Lord Henry Chase?
+He got into a
+
+[Illustration]
+
+                        Libel Case!
+_The Daily Howl_ had said that he--
+But could not prove it perfectly
+To Judge or Jury's satisfaction:
+His Lordship, therefore,
+
+[Illustration]
+
+                          won the action.
+But, as the damages were small,
+
+[Illustration]
+
+He gave them to a Hospital.
+
+
+
+
+Lord Heygate
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+LORD HEYGATE had a troubled face,
+His furniture was commonplace--
+The sort of Peer who well might pass
+For someone of the middle class.
+I do not think you want to hear
+About this unimportant Peer,
+So let us leave him to discourse
+About LORD EPSOM and his horse.
+
+
+
+
+Lord Epsom
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+A Horse, Lord Epsom did bestride
+With mastery and quiet pride.
+He dug his spurs into its hide.
+
+The Horse,
+
+[Illustration]
+
+                  discerning it was pricked,
+Incontinently
+
+[Illustration]
+
+                     bucked and kicked,
+A thing that no one could predict!
+
+Lord Epsom clearly understood
+The High-bred creature's nervous mood,
+
+[Illustration]
+
+As only such a horseman could.
+Dismounting,
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+                 he was heard to say
+That it was kinder to delay
+His pleasure to a future day
+
+      *      *      *      *      *
+
+He had the Hunter led away.
+
+
+
+
+Lord Finchley
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Lord Finchley tried to mend the Electric Light
+Himself.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+  It struck him dead: And serve him right!
+It is the business of the wealthy man
+To give employment to the artisan.
+
+
+
+
+Lord Ali-Baba
+
+
+Lord Ali-Baba was a Turk
+Who hated every kind of work,
+And would repose for hours at ease
+With
+

+A happy life!--Until, one day
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Mossoo Alphonse Effendi Bey
+(A Younger Turk: the very cream
+And essence of the New Regime)
+Dispelled this Oriental dream
+By granting him a place at Court,
+High Coffee-grinder to the Porte,
+Unpaid:--
+
+[Illustration]
+
+            In which exalted Post
+His Lordship yielded up the ghost.
+
+
+
+
+Lord Hippo
+
+
+Lord Hippo suffered fearful loss
+
+[Illustration]
+
+By putting money on a horse
+Which he believed, if it were pressed,
+Would run far faster than the rest:
+For
+    someone who was in the know
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Had confidently told him so.
+
+But
+
+[Illustration]
+
+    on the morning of the race
+It only took
+
+[Illustration]
+
+                the _seventh_ place!
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Picture the Viscount's great surprise!
+He scarcely could believe his eyes!
+He sought the Individual who
+Had laid him odds at 9 to 2,
+Suggesting as a useful tip
+That they should enter Partnership
+And put to joint account the debt
+Arising from his foolish bet.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+But when the Bookie--oh! my word,
+I only wish you could have heard
+The way he roared he did not think,
+And hoped that they might strike him pink!
+Lord Hippo simply turned and ran
+From this infuriated man.
+Despairing, maddened and distraught
+He utterly collapsed and sought
+His sire,
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          the Earl of Potamus,
+And brokenly addressed him thus:
+"Dread Sire--to-day--at Ascot--I ..."
+His genial parent made reply:
+Come! Come! Come! Come! Don't look so glum!
+Trust your Papa and name the sum....
+
+WHAT?
+
+[Illustration]
+
+    ... _Fifteen hundred thousand?_... Hum!
+However ... stiffen up, you wreck;
+Boys will be boys--so here's the cheque!
+Lord Hippo, feeling deeply--well,
+More grateful than he cared to tell--
+Punted the lot on Little Nell:--
+And got a telegram at dinner
+To say
+
+[Illustration]
+
+that he had backed the Winner!
+
+
+
+
+Lord Uncle Tom
+
+
+Lord Uncle Tom was different from
+  What other nobles are.
+For they are yellow or pink, I think,
+  But he was black as tar.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+He had his Father's debonair
+  And rather easy pride:
+But his complexion and his hair
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Were from the mother's side.
+
+He often mingled in debate
+  And latterly displayed
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Experience of peculiar weight
+  Upon the Cocoa-trade.
+
+But now He speaks no more. The BILL
+  Which he could not abide,
+It preyed upon his mind until
+  He sickened, paled, and died.
+
+
+
+
+Lord Lucky
+
+
+Lord Lucky, by a curious fluke,
+Became a most important duke.
+From living in a vile Hotel
+
+[Illustration]
+
+A long way east of Camberwell
+
+He rose, in less than half an hour,
+To riches, dignity and power.
+It happened in the following way:--
+The Real Duke went out one day
+To shoot with several people, one
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Of whom had never used a gun.
+This gentleman (a Mr. Meyer
+Of Rabley Abbey, Rutlandshire),
+As he was scrambling through the brake,
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Discharged his weapon by mistake,
+And plugged about an ounce of lead
+Piff-bang into his Grace's Head----
+Who naturally fell down dead.
+
+His heir, Lord Ugly, roared, "You Brute!
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Take that to teach you how to shoot!"
+Whereat he volleyed, left and right;
+But being somewhat short of sight,
+His right-hand Barrel only got
+The second heir, Lord Poddleplot;
+The while the left-hand charge (or choke)
+Accounted for another bloke,
+Who stood with an astounded air
+Bewildered by the whole affair
+--And was the third remaining heir.
+
+After the
+
+[Illustration]
+
+            Execution (which
+Is something rare among the Rich)
+Lord Lucky, while of course he needed
+Some
+
+[Illustration]
+
+      help to prove their claim,
+                                 succeeded.
+--But after his succession, though
+All this was over years ago,
+He only once indulged the whim
+Of asking Meyer to lunch with him.
+
+
+
+
+Lord Canton
+
+
+The reason that
+
+[Illustration]
+
+                 the Present Lord Canton
+Succeeded lately to his Brother John
+Was that his Brother John, the elder son,
+Died rather suddenly at forty-one.
+
+The insolence of an Italian guide
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Appears to be the reason that he died.
+
+
+
+
+Lord Abbott
+
+
+Lord Abbott's coronet was far too small,
+So small, that as he sauntered down White Hall
+Even the youthful Proletariat
+(Who probably mistook it for a Hat)
+Remarked on its exiguous extent.
+

+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be

+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 in the public domain 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

+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or

+States.

+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included

+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (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

+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or

+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has 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

+     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.

+Hart, 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
+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 OF MERCHANTIBILITY 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,
+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
+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 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.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  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
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact

+     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://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.
