Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://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/7551-h/images/cover.jpg b/7551-h/images/cover.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..536e2d6 --- /dev/null +++ b/7551-h/images/cover.jpg diff --git a/7551-h/images/montaigne1.jpg b/7551-h/images/montaigne1.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..aed1623 --- /dev/null +++ b/7551-h/images/montaigne1.jpg diff --git a/7551-h/images/montaigne2.jpg b/7551-h/images/montaigne2.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..a499fae --- /dev/null +++ b/7551-h/images/montaigne2.jpg diff --git a/7551-h/images/montaigne3.jpg b/7551-h/images/montaigne3.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..4ad35ba --- /dev/null +++ b/7551-h/images/montaigne3.jpg diff --git a/7551-h/images/montaigne4.jpg b/7551-h/images/montaigne4.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..0326675 --- /dev/null +++ b/7551-h/images/montaigne4.jpg diff --git a/7551-h/images/montaigne5.jpg b/7551-h/images/montaigne5.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..03c6443 --- /dev/null +++ b/7551-h/images/montaigne5.jpg |
