+ Prefatory Note.
+
+
+The present collection of Sir John Tenniel’s Cartoons is intended to be
+a selection comprising the more memorable of those which have appeared
+in “Punch” during the last 50 years. The first in the collection bears
+the date of 1851, and the last is Sir John Tenniel’s final Cartoon in
+January, 1901. Short explanatory notes have been provided, but as most
+of them will, perhaps, be unnecessary to those to whom the Cartoons
+themselves are familiar, they have been grouped together and combined
+with the Table of Contents at the commencement of the volume, where
+they can readily be referred to.
+
+ _March, 1901._

+
+ France, Sept. 4, 1870 33
+ The surrender of the French Emperor at Sedan was followed
+ by the fall of the Empire and the establishment of the
+ Republic at Paris.
+
+ A Vision on the Way. “BEWARE!” 34-35
+ France had declared war against Germany, and the Emperor
+ Napoleon and his son had left Paris to take command. The
+ shade of the Great Napoleon forebodes the disasters which
+ followed.
+

+ Versailles from this date became the head-quarters of the
+ German army investing Paris, and the Prussian King was here

+ The General Election had given the Conservatives a majority,
+ and Mr. Disraeli became Premier for the second time.
+
+ Dearly Bought 43
+ Sir Garnet Wolseley’s march to Coomassie involved much loss
+ of life, with little more result than the possession of the
+ Umbrella, the symbol of Ashanti sovereignty.
+
+ The Damp Roman Candle 44
+ The fulminations of the Vatican against the
+ Anti-Infallibility pamphlet of Mr. Gladstone had failed to
+ produce the effect intended.
+

+ of H.M. ships _Alert_ and _Discovery_, had sailed on the
+ 29th of May.
+
+ Stuck in the Mud 48

+
+ The “Pas de Deux!” 49
+ Upon their return from Berlin Lords Beaconsfield and
+ Salisbury were invested with the Order of the Garter.
+
+ Imperium et Libertas! 50-51

+ the state of things in Russia, where there had been another
+ Nihilist attempt upon the life of the Emperor.
+
+ The School of Musketry 52

+ superiority in marksmanship. “Mr. Punch” points the lesson
+ for the benefit of the Duke of Cambridge.

+ A Common Sorrow 53
+ General Garfield, President of the United States, had
+ succumbed to the effect of the shot of the assassin Guiteau,
+ who had fired at him on July 2nd.

+ after many difficulties had finally passed.
+
+ Change of Address 56
+ The new Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand were opened
+ by Queen Victoria on the 4th December.
+
+ On the Trail 57
+ Seventeen persons suspected of complicity with the Phœnix
+ Park murders had been arrested. There was a good hope of at
+ length securing the clue to the series of crimes.
+
+ Snubbed! 58
+ An exchange of visits, the first for the last 200 years, had
+ taken place between the German and Spanish Courts. This
+ aroused jealousy in France, where the Spanish King had
+ recently been rudely received.
+
+ “Mirage” 59
+ At this time General Gordon at Khartoum was isolated. His
+ appeal for assistance and the opening of communications with
+ Khartoum by the Suakin-Berber route, was still delayed.
+
+ “Mrs. Micawber” 60
+ This Cartoon refers to Mr. Gladstone’s vacillating Egyptian
+ policy, and pictures him as “Micawber waiting for something
+ to turn up.” The Liberal Party, however, like Mrs. Micawber,
+ remained loyal to the Premier.
+
+ “Wait till the Clouds roll by” 61
+ Mr. Gladstone, burdened with political complications at home
+ and abroad, ill-health and impaired voice, was resting and
+ recruiting at Hawarden. The advice here tendered to him was
+ the title of a popular song.
+
+ “Too Late!” 62
+ When Sir Charles Wilson at last succeeded in approaching
+ Khartoum, the Mahdi’s flag was flying upon what had been
+ Gordon’s citadel. Khartoum had fallen, and its dauntless
+ defender with it.
+
+ “Only his Play” (!!!) 63
+ The Russians had attacked the Afghans at Penjdeh, and each
+ side charged the other with provoking the conflict.
+
+ The Broken Covenant 64
+ On April 27 Mr. Gladstone made use of the above significant
+ words with reference to an arrangement or covenant with
+ Russia concerning Afghanistan, which Russia appeared to have
+ broken.
+

+ On May 4 Mr. Gladstone removed all immediate fear of war, by
+ announcing that Russia and England would resume negotiations
+ for the delimitation of the Afghan frontier.
+
+ The “Irrepressible” Tourist 66

+ excited Spanish feeling. England, too, regarded with
+ apprehension the active “Colonial Policy” of Bismarck at
+ this time.
+
+ The Waits 67
+ At the end of the year, Lord Salisbury determined to remain
+ in office, though left by the General Election in a minority.
+
+ The Grand Young Man!! 68
+ Lord Randolph Churchill had been appointed Chancellor of the
+ Exchequer and Leader of the House of Commons in the new
+ Salisbury Ministry.
+
+ Sink or Swim!! 69
+ Mr. Gladstone had introduced his Home Rule Bill, and had
+ deliberately set his fortune and that of his party upon the
+ policy thereby involved.
+
+ “1886” 70-71
+ This travesty depicts the retreat of the Liberal Party on
+ the defeat of the second reading of Mr. Gladstone’s Home
+ Rule Bill.
+
+ The Tempter 72
+ Certain Socialists and Anarchists had taken advantage of the
+ prevailing poverty and lack of work to make inflammatory
+ appeals to the unemployed.
+
+ Salisbury Sisyphus 73
+ Lord Salisbury had to face the difficulties of the Irish
+ question—a task as formidable to him as to his
+ predecessors.
+
+ “What of the Night?” 74-75
+ The action of Russia (the Great Northern Bear) in Bulgaria
+ and elsewhere at this time seemed likely to involve a
+ disturbance of the peace of Europe.
+
+ “Quite English, you know” 76
+ President Cleveland was at this time advocating in America
+ the adoption of the English system of Free Trade.
+
+ Bear or Bug-Bear? 77
+ Russia, in consequence of her huge armaments and equivocal
+ policy, seemed a standing menace to the peace of Europe.
+
+ In the Arena 78-79
+ The two sides are shown parading before the reassembling of
+ Parliament—the Unionists (Tory and Liberal) under Lord
+ Salisbury, the Home Rulers under Mr. Gladstone.
+
+ Germany, March 9, 1888 80
+ On this date Germany was plunged into mourning owing to the
+ death of the Emperor William.
+
+ Consol-ation 81
+ Mr. Goschen’s National Debt Conversion Bill provided for the
+ conversion of the 3 per cent. Stocks into a new Stock
+ bearing 2-3/4 per cent. interest for fifteen years, and
+ thereafter a guaranteed 2-1/2 per cent. for 20 years.
+
+ What next? 82
+ The popularity of General Boulanger suggested the idea that
+ France was growing weary of a Republican “regime.”
+
+ “Panic amongst the Pigs!” 83
+ A Papal Rescript, condemning the Plan of Campaign and the
+ practice of Boycotting, caused some excitement among the
+ Irish Nationalists.
+
+ Plain English! 84
+ England was aggrieved by the action of Portugal in reference
+ to the Delagoa Railway, and by insults to the British flag
+ committed by the Portuguese.
+

+ Prince Bismarck resigned his post of Chancellor.
+
+ The McGladstone! 88
+ Mr. Gladstone had started for Midlothian to carry on another
+ political campaign for the rallying of his forces.
+
+ “Separatists” 89
+ Owing to the scandal arising out of the O’Shea divorce case,
+ Mr. Gladstone refused to co-operate any longer with Mr.
+ Parnell as leading the Irish Home Rule Party.
+
+ Arbitration 90
+ The Americans claimed to make the Behring Sea a mare clausum,
+ and it was thought advisable to establish a “close-time” for
+ the seals.
+
+ “Retire!—What do _you_ think?” 91
+ A rumour that Mr. Gladstone was about to retire from
+ political life proved to be without foundation.
+
+ Coriolanus 92
+ Prince Bismarck had inspired in the columns of the Hamburger
+ Nachrichten, incessant attacks upon the Imperial policy, and
+ especially upon the proceedings of his successor, Caprivi.
+
+ “Advance, Australia!” 93
+ A scheme, advocated by Sir Henry Parkes, was under
+ consideration for establishing “one great Union Government”
+ amongst the Australian Colonies.
+
+ Mr. Punch’s Jubilee Pageant 94-95
+ In July “Mr. Punch” celebrated his Jubilee. The sketches
+ surrounding the Pageant are of selected cartoons
+ illustrating events ranging over 50 years.
+
+ “Turning the Tables” 96
+ The suggestion of “Turning the Tables” was that on this
+ occasion the Man (France) was dancing to the tune of the
+ Bear acting as leader.
+
+ “What will he do with it?” 97
+ It was hoped that some portion of the large Russian loan
+ might be applied to the relief of misery rather than for war
+ preparations.

+ likely to weaken the strength of the Triple Alliance.

+ is too busy to put it right.”—_Law Times._
+
+ The Attack on the “Capital” 101
+ The Liberal Party, which had organised great public meetings
+ in London, were making a determined effort to capture the
+ Tory stronghold.
+
+ “Her Majesty’s Servants” 102-103
+ The Parliament opened for its last Session previous to the
+ General Election in July, which gave Mr. Gladstone a small
+ majority.
+
+ Younger than ever! 104
+ The great Liberal leader, who had been recruiting his health
+ in the South of France, had returned and resumed the
+ leadership.
+
+ The Dynamite Dragon 105
+ The Dynamitards had committed many outrages on the Continent,
+ and the destruction of property by dynamite had been made a
+ capital offence by the French Chamber.
+
+ The New “Queen of the May” 106
+ Incendiary Manifestoes having been issued by the French
+ proletariat, it was feared that disturbances might ensue
+ during the May Day celebrations on the Continent.
+
+ “When Greek meets Greek” 107
+ The two great leaders had issued stirring addresses to the
+ constituencies, and were preparing to grapple for supremacy
+ at the approaching General Election.
+
+ Mischief! 108
+ Mr. Labouchere’s promises of support to the Government were
+ largely discounted by the report that he considered himself
+ slighted at being left out of office.
+
+ A Pilgrim’s Progress 109
+ The Liberal leader was resolved to persevere with his Home
+ Rule Bill, despite the lukewarm support of the Irish
+ Nationalists and the fierce opposition of the Ulster
+ Unionists.
+
+ Uncle Toby and Widow Wadman 110

+ The Marquis of Salisbury had visited Belfast, and assisted
+ in the demonstrations against the Home Rule Bill.

+ on land and sea.
+
+ “Vested Interests” 123
+ The House of Lords had survived the repeated attacks made
+ upon it, both in the Commons and by its own Members.
+
+ “All’s Well!” 124
+ The Russian Press at this time suggested that an
+ Anglo-Russian understanding would be of great advantage to
+ the two nations.
+
+ The New Passenger 125
+ The year 1894 had been marked by many dynamite outrages on
+ the Continent, and specially by the assassination of
+ President Carnot. The New Year opened under brighter
+ auspices.
+
+ “Who said—‘_Atrocities_’?” 126
+ Mr. Gladstone had expressed his strong indignation at the
+ atrocities in Armenia, which had profoundly shocked the
+ mind of the country.

+ The British occupation of Egypt still continued, the
+ Egyptian Government being powerless to suppress outrages on
+ Europeans in Alexandria.
+
+ An Easter ’Oliday 128
+ The House of Commons had adjourned for the Easter vacation.
+ Both leaders were glad of repose after the exciting debates
+ on the Welsh Disestablishment and Irish Land Bills.
+
+ “William! ahoy!” 129
+ The Welsh Disestablishment Bill having been warmly discussed
+ in the Commons, Mr. Gladstone had withdrawn his pair with
+ Mr. Villiers in order to keep “an open mind” on the question.
+
+ The Old Crusaders! 130-131
+ The Duke of Argyll had presided at an indignation meeting
+ held in St. James’s Hall to protest against the Armenian
+ atrocities.
+
+ Old Warder William 132
+ After Sir William Harcourt’s defeat at Derby he was elected
+ for West Monmouthshire, the Radical candidate having retired
+ in his favour.
+
+ “Just a-goin’ to Begin!” 133
+ It was thought that in the coming Session the Jameson raid
+ would bring trouble to the Ministry, but this was averted by
+ the skillful management of Mr. Balfour and the Colonial
+ Secretary.
+
+ The Tug of War 134-135

+ Jameson crossed the Transvaal frontier with an armed force.

+
+ A Turkish Bath 137

+
+ Spithead, June 26 145
+ At this great Review of the Fleet there were present 165
+ British war-ships. Official representatives from the various
+ Colonies participated in the display.
+
+ “For Queen and Empire!!” 146-147
+ The Cartoon is typical of the great celebrations which
+ marked the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. The Colonial, Asiatic,
+ and African contingents took part in the procession on June
+ 22.
+
+ “Brothers in Arms” 148
+ A treacherous attack had been made at Maizar on the
+ Political Officer’s escort. The British loss was heavy, but

+ responsible for the freedom of Greece, agreed to jointly
+ guarantee a loan to that country.
+
+ “Financial Relations” 150
+ Colonel Saunderson, Mr. Healy, and Mr. Lecky had united in
+ supporting the Irish Local Government Bill, which assigned

+
+ Bull-Baiting 151
+ Continental ill-feeling against Great Britain was at this

+ had declared war against Spain.

+
+ Honour à la Russe 156
+ When the Russians occupied Talien-Wan it was understood
+ that it was to be a free port.
+
+ Our Masters’ Masters 157

+ municipal bye-law for the repression of street shouting.
+
+ Khartoum! 158-159
+ Khartoum was captured by the Mahdi on Jan. 26, 1885, and
+ General Gordon assassinated. On Sept. 2, 1898, General
+ Kitchener annihilated the Khalifa’s army and re-entered the
+ town.
+
+ A Fixture 160
+ The conquest of the Soudan seemed to indicate a permanence
+ of the British occupation of Egypt.
+
+ Under the Mistletoe 161
+ Sir William Harcourt had written to Mr. John Morley
+ announcing his retirement from the leadership of the Liberal
+ Party.
+
+ A New Year’s Greeting 162
+ Thanks to Mr. Henneker Heaton, some of the Colonies had
+ accepted the principle of an International Penny Postage.

+ Diogenes-Morley 163
+ Mr. Morley was one of the few who remained faithful to the

+
+ A Free Hand! 164

+ the interim, it was thought, have a free hand in the South
+ African and other questions.
+
+ Open at Last! 165
+ The Russians had made Talien-Wan a free port. There had been
+ some doubt as to Russia’s intentions.
+

+ Great Britain, requiring the withdrawal within forty-eight
+ hours of the British forces from the Boer frontiers.
+

+Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright
+law 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. Special rules, set forth in the General Terms of Use part
+of this license, apply to copying and distributing Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works to protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm
+concept and trademark. Project Gutenberg is a registered trademark,
+and may not be used if you charge for the eBooks, unless you receive
+specific permission. If you do not charge anything for copies of this
+eBook, complying with the rules is very easy. You may use this eBook
+for nearly any purpose such as creation of derivative works, reports,
+performances and research. They may be modified and printed and given
+away--you may do practically ANYTHING in the United States with eBooks
+not protected by U.S. copyright law. Redistribution is subject to the
+trademark license, especially commercial redistribution.
+
+START: FULL LICENSE
+
+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full
+Project Gutenberg-tm License available with this file or online at
+www.gutenberg.org/license.
+
+Section 1. General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+
+1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or
+destroy all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your
+possession. If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a
+Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound
+by the terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the
+person or entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph
+1.E.8.
+
+1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
+paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this
+agreement and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the
+Foundation" or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection
+of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual
+works in the collection are in the public domain in the United
+States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in the
+United States and you are located in the United States, we do not
+claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing,
+displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as
+all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope
+that you will support the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting
+free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm
+works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the
+Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with the work. You can easily
+comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the
+same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg-tm License when
+you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are
+in a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States,
+check the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this
+agreement before downloading, copying, displaying, performing,
+distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any
+other Project Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no
+representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any
+country outside the United States.
+
+1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other
+immediate access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear
+prominently whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work
+on which the phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed,
+performed, viewed, copied or distributed:
+
+ This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and
+ most other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no
+ restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it
+ under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this
+ eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org. If you are not located in the
+ United States, you'll have to check the laws of the country where you
+ are located before using this ebook.
+
+1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is
+derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not
+contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the
+copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in
+the United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are
+redistributing or providing access to a work with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the work, you must comply
+either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 or
+obtain permission for the use of the work and the Project Gutenberg-tm
+trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any
+additional terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms
+will be linked to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works
+posted with the permission of the copyright holder found at the
+beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including
+any word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access
+to or distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format
+other than "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official
+version posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site
+(www.gutenberg.org), you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense
+to the user, provide a copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means
+of obtaining a copy upon request, of the work in its original "Plain
+Vanilla ASCII" or other form. Any alternate format must include the
+full Project Gutenberg-tm License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+provided that
+
+* You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+ the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+ 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 prepare (or are
+ legally required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty
+ payments should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project
+ Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in
+ Section 4, "Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg
+ Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+* You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+ you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+ does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+ License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all
+ copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue
+ all use of and all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg-tm
+ works.
+
+* You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of
+ any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+ electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days of
+ receipt of the work.
+
+* You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+ distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work or group of works on different terms than
+are set forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing
+from both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and The
+Project Gutenberg Trademark LLC, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
+Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
+contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
+or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
+intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
+other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
+cannot be read by your equipment.
+
+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 1.F.3. 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 MERCHANTABILITY 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 are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
+generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
+Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
+www.gutenberg.org Section 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 in Fairbanks, Alaska, with the
+mailing address: PO Box 750175, Fairbanks, AK 99775, 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 contact links and up to

+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
+DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
+state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
+donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
+freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
+distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
+volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
+the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
+necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
+edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
+facility: www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
+
