He +set off in good time every +morning—even if it was +<i>pouring</i> with rain. He had +a great many friends at +school, and the boys liked +him because he always had +plenty of marbles, and used +to carry sticky labels in his +pocket; he got them out of +his Mother's shop, and gave +them as prizes for racing +and jumping in play time.</p> + +<div class="minispace"> </div> +<div class="image border2" style="width: 370px; height: 570px;"> +<img src="images/i007.jpg" width="370" height="570" alt="" title="" /> +</div> +<div class="minispace"> </div> + + +<div class="image border2" style="width: 373px; height: 570px;"> +<img src="images/i010.jpg" width="373" height="570" alt="" title="" /> +</div> +<div class="minispace"> </div> + +<p class="pad">Little Dumpty was a little +bit like a <i>nice</i> goblin, it was +therefore very interesting to +his school fellows to have +him for a chum, and the +funny part about him was +that he never took his hat +off. Of course no one said +anything about it, but they +just remembered that his +Father was an egg, and got +cracked and broken, and +they thought that had something +to do with it.</p> + +<p>Well, I will tell you how +Little Dumpty used to spend +his time. In summer he +used to get up quite early, +because he had to feed his +pets before breakfast. He +had a lot of pets in the yard +at the back of the house. +He had guinea-pigs, of +course, then he had three +rabbits and a pair of dormice +and a canary; and he had +some pigeons. They were +rather a bother to him, because +they had a nasty habit +of flying down the parlour +chimney, where sometimes +they stuck for two or three +days, and at last flew out all +black and sooty into the room. Widow Dumpty +used to be rather angry and +spoke crossly when this +happened, and then Little +Dumpty used to get up and +go out and feed his rabbits, +which is what he generally +did when he wasn't very +happy. Well, then he had +a tame hen and some silkworms. +Once he had a baby +chicken, but it ate some blue +chalk, which Dumpty had +dropped on the ground, and +died. He did all he could +to keep it alive but it was +no good. He was very sorry +about it, because he had +often longed for a little +chicken of his own; besides +his Mother had told him +that when it grew up it +would be a swimming +chicken. It was a pity too +he dropped the chalk, because +it got trodden on and +spoilt, and it had been his +favourite chalk.</p> + +<div class="minispace"> </div> +<div class="image border2" style="width: 359px; height: 570px;"> +<img src="images/i015.jpg" width="359" height="570" alt="" title="" /> +</div> +<div class="minispace"> </div> + + +<div class="image border2" style="width: 362px; height: 570px;"> +<img src="images/i018.jpg" width="362" height="570" alt="" title="" /> +</div> +<div class="minispace"> </div> + +<p class="pad">Well, as I was saying, +first he had to feed his pets +and to water his garden +before the sun got too hot: +and by then it was time for +breakfast. He and his +Mother were always very +happy at breakfast (except +when there was a pigeon in +the chimney). Generally +they talked about the garden, +and when the seeds +were coming up Widow +Dumpty used to send Little +Dumpty running out to +chivvy off the sparrows and +starlings who wanted to eat +all the young sprouts. In +the spring they talked about +tadpoles, and wondered how +long it would be before they +lost their tails; and in the +summer time they wondered +when Little Dumpty would +get a bath; and in the +autumn they talked about +the circus which was coming; +and in the winter about their +"poetry" which they made +up, or about the bulbs in the +pots at the window, which +always looked like blooming +for Christmas, and never <i>did</i> +bloom till March.

When he'd done +his breakfast Dumpty used +to have to look sharp and +open the shop for his Mother +and sweep the step, and by +then it was time for school, +so he got his books together +and trotted off.</p> + +<p>He used always to meet +his "chum" on the way; +<i>his</i> name was Binkie, and +he lived with his father at +the Blacksmith's—his father +<i>was</i> the Blacksmith, and +there was no Mrs. Blacksmith +because she was dead, +but Binkie's aunt, who +was a very kind lady, used +to take care of Binkie; +<i>her</i> name was Miss Amelia +Bloater.</p> + +<p>Well, every morning Binkie +and Dumpty trudged +off to school together. +Dumpty's favourite lesson +was writing, he simply <i>loved</i> +doing copies, and once he +got a prize for writing; he +was quite delighted about +it, and often wished he could +get another, and after being +at school four years, at last he did—that was for +scripture.</p> + +<div class="minispace"> </div> +<div class="image border2" style="width: 373px; height: 570px;"> +<img src="images/i031.jpg" width="373" height="570" alt="" title="" /> +</div> +<div class="minispace"> </div> + + +<div class="image border2" style="width: 374px; height: 570px;"> +<img src="images/i034.jpg" width="374" height="570" alt="" title="" /> +</div> +<div class="minispace"> </div> + +<p class="pad">Dumpty used to stay at +school all day and had dinner +with the big boys; in the +afternoon there was "prep," +and at four o'clock school +was over and all the boys +were jolly glad.</p> + +<p>On his way home from +school Dumpty used to stop +and get cow-parsley for his +rabbits, and when silkworms +were "in" he used to have +to go into Binkie's garden +to get mulberry leaves, because +Binkie's father had a +mulberry tree in his garden +and Dumpty's Mother +hadn't. One day when +Dumpty got in from school +he found that a horrid great +rat had got into the empty +hutch where he kept all his +grain for feeding his pets +and had eaten it all and bitten +one of the baby pigeons! +He was so sad about it—but +Binkie's father soon +brought in his dogs and +they caught the nasty rat. +Dumpty's Mother often +said she didn't know what +she would do without her +kind neighbour the Blacksmith.</p> + +<p>Well, by the time Master +Dumpty got in from school +it was pretty well tea time, +and in the summer he and +his Mother often had it in +the garden, not <i>too</i> far from +the house, so that if anyone +came into the shop they +could hear, that is to say +they <i>might</i> hear if he banged +on the counter loud, or shut +the shop door with a slam;—then +Dumpty would run +fast and serve in the shop +for his Mother. Sometimes +the customers were such a long time choosing a peppermint +stick or a few glass +beads that Dumpty thought +he should never get back to +his tea;—and they had +radishes and lettuce out of +their own garden.

He used to go +with a net and a little tin +pail and catch all kinds of +fish and little insects out of +the pond and put them in +his aquarium, but he called +it his "acquair." His "acquair" +was a glass bell +stood on its end and filled +at the bottom with sand, and +on top with water for the +things to swim about in. +Minnows, and sometimes +sticklebats (but not <i>generally</i> +sticklebats, because, though +they looked nice they used +to eat up the other things +so), and of course tadpoles +(when they were "in") and +water-snails with pointed +shells and caddis-worms +and water boatmen, and +"little reddies"—oh! and +anything he caught in his +net. Little Dumpty used to +bring them all home in his +pail and keep them in the +"acquair."</p> + +<p>That's what Little Dumpty +and his Mother used to talk +about at breakfast, "how +long before the tadpoles lost +their tails."</p> + +<div class="minispace"> </div> +<div class="image border2" style="width: 378px; height: 570px;"> +<img src="images/i047.jpg" width="378" height="570" alt="" title="" /> +</div> +<div class="minispace"> </div> + +<div class="image border2" style="width: 371px; height: 570px;"> +<img src="images/i050.jpg" width="371" height="570" alt="" title="" /> +</div> +<div class="minispace"> </div> + +<p class="pad">Once when Mrs. Dumpty went away to see a sick +friend and Dumpty was left +all to himself he thought he +would have a lovely acquair +in the middle of his own +garden, just like a real pond, +so he dug a big hole and +planted ferns round it, and +then he got a big bath and +put it in the hole he had +dug, and filled it with water; +and it looked grand, and +Dumpty thought some rocks +in the middle of the pond +would look grander still, so +he got some clinkers and +with great trouble managed +to push them right out to +the middle, he was just +putting in the last one when +he toppled and fell splash-bash +right into the water. He +was in an awful mess when +he got out! And his +Mother, who came home +just at that minute, was very +angry with him. Poor +Little Dumpty was very sad +and ashamed of himself.</p> + +<div class="minispace"> </div> +<div class="image border2" style="width: 376px; height: 570px;"> +<img src="images/i055.jpg" width="376" height="570" alt="" title="" /> +</div> +<div class="minispace"> </div> + +<div class="image border2" style="width: 372px; height: 570px;"> +<img src="images/i058.jpg" width="372" height="570" alt="" title="" /> +</div> +<div class="minispace"> </div> + +<p class="pad">The CIRCUS always +came to Eggy in the autumn, +and as Little Dumpty's +birthday was on October +31st his Mother always let +him go to it for a birthday +treat. He and Binkie used +to go together. It was +lovely fun first of all to go +round by the tents and see +the men getting ready for +the Show. Little Dumpty +felt that he knew quite a lot +of what went on behind the +scenes, for one day a man +who was putting up the +tents let him hold his hammer +for him. Dumpty saw +him afterwards playing in +the band and gave him a +little nod, but the man was +too busy to see him. It +disappointed Dumpty rather. The Circus was always a +treat, but the best part was +when the clown with the +performing pony said, +"Now Topsy"—that was +the pony's name—"you just +show me who you think +would make the finest +soldier in all this audience," +and the pony ran straight +across the ring and nodded +its head at Dumpty! It +pleased him, because Dumpty +always said he was going +to be a soldier when he grew +up, and he often played at +being one. That pony knew +lots of things, it could say +what the time was, and +could tell how many of the +Kings of England had been +named Edward, but when +the clown asked the pony +"who was the butcher's +sweetheart?" Topsy made a +great mistake and all the +people laughed, for he went +and nodded at Binkie's +grown-up sister, and she +had <i>always</i> promised to +marry Dumpty when he was +big enough.</p> + +<p>But I think Little Dumpty +liked the winter evenings +best of all, when he and his +Mother were so cosy in the +little kitchen at the back of +the shop. They used to +have great games together. +Dumpty had his own circus, +and gave grand performances +to his Mother. She used to +sit in the "Royal Box" +(which was the corner with +a shawl round it, and a +cushion for her feet).

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/29367-h/images/i007.jpg b/29367-h/images/i007.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644

He set off in good time every morning--even if it was +_pouring_ with rain. He had a great many friends at school, and the boys +liked him because he always had plenty of marbles, and used to carry +sticky labels in his pocket; he got them out of his Mother's shop, and +gave them as prizes for racing and jumping in play time. + + +[Illustration] + + +[Illustration] + + +Little Dumpty was a little bit like a _nice_ goblin, it was therefore +very interesting to his school fellows to have him for a chum, and the +funny part about him was that he never took his hat off. Of course no +one said anything about it, but they just remembered that his Father +was an egg, and got cracked and broken, and they thought that had +something to do with it. + +Well, I will tell you how Little Dumpty used to spend his time. In +summer he used to get up quite early, because he had to feed his pets +before breakfast. He had a lot of pets in the yard at the back of the +house. He had guinea-pigs, of course, then he had three rabbits and a +pair of dormice and a canary; and he had some pigeons. They were rather +a bother to him, because they had a nasty habit of flying down the +parlour chimney, where sometimes they stuck for two or three days, and +at last flew out all black and sooty into the room. Widow Dumpty +used to be rather angry and spoke crossly when this happened, and then +Little Dumpty used to get up and go out and feed his rabbits, which is +what he generally did when he wasn't very happy. Well, then he had a +tame hen and some silkworms. Once he had a baby chicken, but it ate some +blue chalk, which Dumpty had dropped on the ground, and died. He did +all he could to keep it alive but it was no good. He was very sorry +about it, because he had often longed for a little chicken of his own; +besides his Mother had told him that when it grew up it would be a +swimming chicken. It was a pity too he dropped the chalk, because it got +trodden on and spoilt, and it had been his favourite chalk. + + +[Illustration] + + +[Illustration] + + +Well, as I was saying, first he had to feed his pets and to water his +garden before the sun got too hot: and by then it was time for +breakfast. He and his Mother were always very happy at breakfast (except +when there was a pigeon in the chimney). Generally they talked about the +garden, and when the seeds were coming up Widow Dumpty used to send +Little Dumpty running out to chivvy off the sparrows and starlings who +wanted to eat all the young sprouts. In the spring they talked about +tadpoles, and wondered how long it would be before they lost their +tails; and in the summer time they wondered when Little Dumpty would +get a bath; and in the autumn they talked about the circus which was +coming; and in the winter about their "poetry" which they made up, or +about the bulbs in the pots at the window, which always looked like +blooming for Christmas, and never _did_ bloom till March. Oh, and lots +of other things! + + +[Illustration] + + +[Illustration] + + +Little Dumpty generally had bread and milk for breakfast and finished +up with honey--for Mrs. Dumpty kept dear little bees in her garden, so +there was always plenty of that:--but on Sundays Dumpty had a poached +egg for breakfast, for a treat. When he'd done his breakfast Dumpty used +to have to look sharp and open the shop for his Mother and sweep the +step, and by then it was time for school, so he got his books together +and trotted off. + +He used always to meet his "chum" on the way; _his_ name was Binkie, and +he lived with his father at the Blacksmith's--his father _was_ the +Blacksmith, and there was no Mrs. Blacksmith because she was dead, but +Binkie's aunt, who was a very kind lady, used to take care of Binkie; +_her_ name was Miss Amelia Bloater. + +Well, every morning Binkie and Dumpty trudged off to school together. +Dumpty's favourite lesson was writing, he simply _loved_ doing copies, +and once he got a prize for writing; he was quite delighted about it, +and often wished he could get another, and after being at school four +years, at last he did--that was for scripture. + + +[Illustration] + + +[Illustration] + + +Dumpty used to stay at school all day and had dinner with the big boys; +in the afternoon there was "prep," and at four o'clock school was over +and all the boys were jolly glad. + +On his way home from school Dumpty used to stop and get cow-parsley for +his rabbits, and when silkworms were "in" he used to have to go into +Binkie's garden to get mulberry leaves, because Binkie's father had a +mulberry tree in his garden and Dumpty's Mother hadn't. One day when +Dumpty got in from school he found that a horrid great rat had got into +the empty hutch where he kept all his grain for feeding his pets and had +eaten it all and bitten one of the baby pigeons! He was so sad about +it--but Binkie's father soon brought in his dogs and they caught the +nasty rat. Dumpty's Mother often said she didn't know what she would do +without her kind neighbour the Blacksmith. + +Well, by the time Master Dumpty got in from school it was pretty well +tea time, and in the summer he and his Mother often had it in the +garden, not _too_ far from the house, so that if anyone came into the +shop they could hear, that is to say they _might_ hear if he banged on +the counter loud, or shut the shop door with a slam;--then Dumpty would +run fast and serve in the shop for his Mother. Sometimes the customers +were such a long time choosing a peppermint stick or a few glass +beads that Dumpty thought he should never get back to his tea;--and they +had radishes and lettuce out of their own garden. And directly after tea +Little Dumpty did _just_ what he liked till bed-time. + + +[Illustration] + + +[Illustration] + + +I must tell you now about the things Little Dumpty _did_ like: there +were lots of things, and he liked them all in turn. + +One thing he loved was ponding, which began as soon as the days were +warm enough. He used to go with a net and a little tin pail and catch +all kinds of fish and little insects out of the pond and put them in his +aquarium, but he called it his "acquair." His "acquair" was a glass +bell stood on its end and filled at the bottom with sand, and on top +with water for the things to swim about in. Minnows, and sometimes +sticklebats (but not _generally_ sticklebats, because, though they +looked nice they used to eat up the other things so), and of course +tadpoles (when they were "in") and water-snails with pointed shells and +caddis-worms and water boatmen, and "little reddies"--oh! and anything +he caught in his net. Little Dumpty used to bring them all home in his +pail and keep them in the "acquair." + +That's what Little Dumpty and his Mother used to talk about at +breakfast, "how long before the tadpoles lost their tails." + + +[Illustration] + + +[Illustration] + + +Once when Mrs. Dumpty went away to see a sick friend and Dumpty was +left all to himself he thought he would have a lovely acquair in the +middle of his own garden, just like a real pond, so he dug a big hole +and planted ferns round it, and then he got a big bath and put it in the +hole he had dug, and filled it with water; and it looked grand, and +Dumpty thought some rocks in the middle of the pond would look grander +still, so he got some clinkers and with great trouble managed to push +them right out to the middle, he was just putting in the last one when +he toppled and fell splash-bash right into the water. He was in an awful +mess when he got out! And his Mother, who came home just at that minute, +was very angry with him. Poor Little Dumpty was very sad and ashamed of +himself. + + +[Illustration] + + +[Illustration] + + +The CIRCUS always came to Eggy in the autumn, and as Little Dumpty's +birthday was on October 31st his Mother always let him go to it for a +birthday treat. He and Binkie used to go together. It was lovely fun +first of all to go round by the tents and see the men getting ready for +the Show. Little Dumpty felt that he knew quite a lot of what went on +behind the scenes, for one day a man who was putting up the tents let +him hold his hammer for him. Dumpty saw him afterwards playing in the +band and gave him a little nod, but the man was too busy to see him. It +disappointed Dumpty rather. The Circus was always a treat, but the +best part was when the clown with the performing pony said, "Now +Topsy"--that was the pony's name--"you just show me who you think would +make the finest soldier in all this audience," and the pony ran straight +across the ring and nodded its head at Dumpty! It pleased him, because +Dumpty always said he was going to be a soldier when he grew up, and he +often played at being one. That pony knew lots of things, it could say +what the time was, and could tell how many of the Kings of England had +been named Edward, but when the clown asked the pony "who was the +butcher's sweetheart?" Topsy made a great mistake and all the people +laughed, for he went and nodded at Binkie's grown-up sister, and she had +_always_ promised to marry Dumpty when he was big enough. + +But I think Little Dumpty liked the winter evenings best of all, when he +and his Mother were so cosy in the little kitchen at the back of the +shop. They used to have great games together. Dumpty had his own +circus, and gave grand performances to his Mother. She used to sit in +the "Royal Box" (which was the corner with a shawl round it, and a +cushion for her feet). She dressed him a little doll, who was master of +the ring, and he had lots of animals in his procession. Two elephants +and a bear on hind legs, and a bear on four legs, a zebra, a tiger, +a big squirrel, some tin horses, and some lovely horses covered with +real hair, a set of performing frogs, and oh! heaps more. + + +[Illustration] + + +[Illustration] + + +Then for the performance he would sing, and recite the pieces of poetry +which he and his Mother had made up (that's what I told you they talked +about at breakfast). For instance, there were two geese in a pen which +you wound up, and Dumpty would put on a quackie voice and say:-- + + + Some mischief sure will Satan find + For idle hands--however sweet, + So in your idle moments wind + My little geese, and watch them eat. + + And as you wind, this lesson good + Ma' rag-time geese would teach to thee; + Never to grab or snatch your food, + However hungry you may be. + + +Then he had some performing mice in a cage, with clockwork inside, and +as he wound them up he sang:-- + + + Oh, three performing mice are we, + And when you wind us up you see, + We twirl and twiddle round the cage, + And play at leap-frog on the stage. + And when the master of the ring, + Commands us, we can also sing + That story sad--though true to life, + Of Blind Mice, and the Farmer's wife. + + +[Illustration] + + +[Illustration] + + +And then Little Dumpty and his mother sang "Three Blind Mice" together, +very slowly and sadly:-- + + + Three Blind Mice! + See how they run! + They all ran after the Farmer's Wife, + Who cut off their tails with the carving knife, + Did you ever see such a thing in your life + As three Blind Mice? + + +When he got all his horses on the stage (he put the skin ones in front +because they were the loveliest), he used to pretend they danced while +he whistled a tune on the penny whistle. + +Then there was a china girl with a parachute; when she was on the stage +Little Dumpty recited the piece called "Isabella's Parachute" out of a +favourite book he had called "Cautionary Stories":-- + + + Once as little Isabella + Ventured with a large umbrella, + Out upon a rainy day + She was nearly blown away. + + Sadly frightened then was she, + For 'twas very near the sea, + And the wind was very high, + But, alas! no friend was nigh. + + Luckily her good mamma + Saw her trouble from afar; + Running just in time, she caught her + Pretty little flying daughter. + + +And if he got an encore, which he often did for this piece, for he +_loved_ saying it, he used to tell the story of Robert:-- + + +[Illustration] + + +[Illustration] + + + When the rain comes tumbling down + In the country or the town, + All good little girls and boys + Stay at home and mind their toys. + + Robert thought,--"No, when it pours, + It is better out of doors." + Here you see him, silly fellow, + Underneath his red umbrella. + + Now look at the silly fellow, + The wind has caught his red umbrella, + Up he flies to the skies; + No one hears his screams and cries. + + No one ever yet could tell + Where he stopped, or where he fell: + Only, this one thing is plain, + Bob was never seen again! + + +And they always used to finish up with the black nigger girl on +horseback:-- + + + Dis yah am de niggah gal + Come to say good night, + Wishin' all de picanninies + Dreams of fairies bright. + Wishin' all de niggah boys, + Plently laugh and fun, + Wishin' dat this circus game + Was only jus' begun, + 'Stead of bein' as 'tis now, + Finished, when I've made my bow. + + +Then Little Dumpty made her jump up on the bareback horse and bow to his +Mother. + +At half-past seven Dumpty had to "prepare," as he said, that is he had +to begin to think about bed, just so that bed-time shouldn't come when +he was in the middle of something _very_ interesting, and at a quarter +to eight he had to go. He gave his Mother a kiss, and often when he +had been very good and happy she gave him an acid drop to suck when he +was in bed. + + +[Illustration] + + +[Illustration] + + +Well, of course there were lots more things Little Dumpty used to do: I +can't tell them all because it would take too long if I were to tell you +all about his chalks and his paints and his stone bricks and his silver +paper ball and his kite--why it would fill ever so many books, but I +_must_ tell you one thing more and that is about his card houses. He was +better at that than at anything, and one night his Mother offered a +prize of a cake of new emerald green paint if he could build eight +houses. And he _did_. He tried ever so many times; and his Mother had +to let him sit up a little later because just as he had got to the sixth +storey safely, safely, after striving very much, the clock struck a +quarter to eight. It would have been too bad to send him off then, when +he longed to do it so. It quite made his fingers tremble to put on the +last card. It was a good thing he succeeded that once, for he never did +it again, and he _did_ want the green paint so! + + +[Illustration] + + + + + +End of Project Gutenberg's Humpty Dumpty's Little Son, by Helen Reid Cross + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK HUMPTY DUMPTY'S LITTLE SON *** + +***** This file should be named 29367.txt or 29367.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/2/9/3/6/29367/ + +Produced by David Edwards and the Online Distributed +Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This file was +produced from images generously made available by The +Internet Archive) + + +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. 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/29367.zip b/29367.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..8c8bbeb --- /dev/null +++ b/29367.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.
