DEDICATION

TO OLD FRIENDS WITH YOUNG HEARTS AND YOUNG HEARTS GROWING OLD.

Dear Friends of our youth, should you happen to look
At the curious things in this curious book,
And should you, with quizzical countenance, ask
The how and the why of our curious task—

We could truly reply
To the query of "why—"
To the smile on your lip, and your questioning eye,
That the work was begun
In a spirit of fun,
To amuse when the work of the daylight was done;

And continued, because we believed it would be
Amusement to such as were weary as we
To drift for awhile among goblins and elves,
Or haply make shadows and rhymes for themselves.
For though years have passed since we drifted apart,
We're all of us more or less children at heart.
And maybe yourselves and the youngsters 't will please
To dwell for an hour with such creatures as these.

Now, some one has said, in a moment of spleen,
We cannot make pictures of what we've not seen;
But such an assertion deserves only scorn,
For the shape of the Gobolink never was born.
He comes like the marvelous mimes of our dreams,
When one has been supping on salads and creams,
And curious changes of vision take place—
The horse may appear with an elephant face—
The goat with a cane, and the goose with a hat—
Six legs on the dog, and two tails on the cat;
We never can tell, though we're sorely perplexed,
What shape will be shown us, or what will come next;
And these are the things that our Gobolinks do—
Dear friends, and dear children, we give them to you.

THE GOBOLINK AND HOW TO MAKE HIM.

Drop a little ink on a sheet of white paper. Fold the sheet in the center and press the ink-spots together with the fingers. All of the pictures in this book were made in this manner——none of them having been touched with a pen or brush.

A great deal of practice will only go to show that the Gobolink, as his name implies, is a veritable goblin of the ink-bottle, and the way he eludes the artist's design proves him a self-made eccentric creature of a superior imagination.

It is hardly to be expected that the animals and birds of prey referred to under more or less familiar names in the accompanying rhymes will be strikingly correct as to anatomy; and because, as upon page 15, the elephants, or whatever they may be, happen to have each a row of interesting tails continuing along the full length of the spinal column, no unkind criticism should be made upon the ability of the overworked and conscientious artists, who would have made fewer tails if they could, and have added nothing to the price of the book on account of undue liberality in the matter of caudal appendages.

In fact the most unexpected and startling results will often occur—results grotesquely and strangely beautiful, well worthy of preservation. The authors of this book will be glad to receive a few examples of some of the more unusual Gobolinks or Shadow-Pictures that may occur to those interested in the amusement. They may be sent care of The Century Co.

THE GAME OF GOBOLINK.

Persons of all ages may obtain amusement out of Gobolinks, or Shadow-Pictures, as they are also called.

The following is a very good method for playing the game:

Let three of the company be selected by the hostess as judges. To each of the others she then distributes from five to ten sheets of paper, from which they must produce at least one completed picture and rhyme in a given length of time, say five minutes, at the end of which the hostess rings a bell and the judges proceed at once to take up the pictures. These are then passed upon by them while the hostess is distributing a fresh round of paper, and the best two and the worst one are laid aside.

Those whose pictures have been selected now act as judges, surrendering their places at the tables to their predecessors, and another lot of pictures and rhymes are made.

The game is continued in this manner until the hostess announces the arrival of the time for final judgment, or until a certain hour specified in the beginning.

The three judges then in office now select one of the company as "reader," and such person selected shall take up his position in strong light, and after reading the verses on each picture shall display it in full view of all present. It should then be pinned to a suspended sheet or screen where it may be easily examined by the company.

This shall be continued until all the pictures selected by the judges have been so treated and displayed. The reader then acts as chairman, and the company proceed to vote on them for first, second, and booby prizes.

The Gobolink receiving second largest number of votes for first prize is awarded second. The ballot for booby should be, of course, taken separately. Pictures should be signed or otherwise identified.

Where a number are making the pictures, it is well to seat them around a large table with the ink-supply in the center.

Jet-black ink should be used, and a good quality of unglazed paper. The ink should not be too thin.

The table should be protected from accident with several thicknesses of newspaper.

A filled pen or tincture-dropper may be used for supplying the ink.

For a specially invited Gobolink party the company may dress in any grotesque fashion, remembering only that both sides of their costume shall be the same, this being a feature peculiar to Gobolink attire.

No game could be more productive of amusement than Gobolink.

Gobolinks

THE DRUM MAJOR

A jolly little major of the drum,
Behind him all the shadow people come,
As he bravely leads the way
For the Gobolink array
With a bearing most important, and his uniform so gay;
Oh, it's very plain to see that he's the hero of the day,
This jolly little major of the drum.

THE SOMETHINGS

A Something met a Something
In the mists of Shadowland.
They ran against each other,
And came quickly to a stand.

"And who are you?" said Something One.
And Something Two, said he,
"That's just the very question that
At once occurred to me."

THE BUBBLERS

These boys have just returned from school,
And now forget their troubles—
They both are sitting on a stool,
And blowing crooked bubbles.

THE JACK-O-MY-GOBLIN

A terrible creature of Ink-bottle Land,
A Jack-o-my-goblin is he.
The sea-urchins made him to place on the sand,
And frighten the monsters that dwell on the land.
They took a sea-pumpkin and carved it by hand,
And lighted it up in their glee
With a phosphorus fish from the sea;
Now all the day long on the shore doth he stand,
While Land-loodles terrified flee,
Oh, yes,
The terrified Land-loodles flee.

THE FRIENDLY CHICKENS

These chicks have been out in all weathers,
They have little to show but pin-feathers;
But their friendship is strong,
And they sing us a song
Regardless of wherefores or whethers.

THEY STAYED AT HOME

These chickens long debated
On a costume for a ball,
And became so much elated
That they didn't go at all.

THE UNFRIENDLY CHICKENS

The saucy chicks which here you see
Know neither wrong nor right—
They can't be good like you and me,
Who sometimes really do agree—
So all day long they fight.

THE BUTTERFLY

How gaily flits the Butterfly
Across the seas of clover.
How blue the arching summer sky
That hangs the country over.

On wings of purple, brown, and gold
He drifts across the meadow.
His harmless flight you may behold
From Yucatan to Yeddo.

DIPSEY DOODLE..

This is little Dipsey Doodle,
Sometimes called the great Kioodle.

HIS RELATIVE

This is Dipsey Doodle's brother—
They have ears like one another.

A STRIKING RESEMBLANCE

Two Widgelums went for a walk one day
By the shores of a shimmering sea;
And one of them said to the other, "I pray,
Now what's your opinion of me?"

Then the Widgelum looked at his widgelous mate:
"My charming companion," said he,
"The things that I think I am loath to relate,
You look so exactly like me."

THE MASK

Here is a curious mask—
I don't know of whom or of what—
I've never had courage to ask;
A saint's I am sure it is not.

HUMAN NATURE?

Two rival Woojums did declare
That they must surely sever,
But lo! that day, they found that they
Were better friends than ever.

RED RIDING-HOOD'S WOLF

Oh, this is the wolf that Red Riding-hood found
When she came to her grandmother's bed,
Her ears were so long and her eyes big and round,
While her voice had a strange and a terrible sound
When she answered what Riding-hood said,
For alas, the grandmother was dead.
And Little Red Riding-hood sprang with a bound
Through the doorway and hastily fled,
Oh, my,
In terror she hastily fled.

WITCH BROTH

Witches, witches in a tree,
Brew your broth of mystery.
Snail and toad and lizard in it—
Tail of cat and tongue of linnet,
Rabbit's foot and wing of bee—
Witches, witches, none for me.

JUST LIKE OTHER CHILDREN

Two little Gobolinks one day
Were sent to do the dishes,
Instead of which they ran away
And fished for shadow-fishes.

They fished and fished and fished and fished,
And but a leaf they caught, O,
And then they wished and wished and wished
They'd done the thing they ought to.

So, by and by they homeward crept
With plumage drooping sadly,
And there they bowed their heads and wept
Because they felt so badly.

A SEA-DANCE

Two beautiful sponges one day
Joined hands with a haughty sting-ray,
And away danced the three
Through the depths of the sea
In a most irresponsible way.

THE SINGERS

These ducks have voices sweet to hear,
And frequently before us
They stretch their mouths from ear to ear,
And sing to us in chorus.

THE BIRDS AND THE WIRE

Upon the quivering wire,
As hearkening to a lyre,
The sparrows gather at the break of day.
Perhaps that vibrant string
Is tuned that they may sing
An anthem to the glories of the May.

A HARD QUESTION

Here are two pairs of funny beasts,
I hardly know their habits—
Perhaps they may be elephants—
Perhaps they may be rabbits.

In conversation they appear
Withdrawn from one another,
As if attempting to decide
What name to give the other.

THE MOON DANCE

Two shadow-colts one summer night did try
To dance a jig because the moon was high:
But the moon obscured its face,
For she thought 't was a disgrace.
While the little stars were laughing in the sky.

PREHISTORIC ANIMALS

Many creatures such as these,
Ere the dawn of history,
On the land, and in the seas
Manufactured mystery.

Mystery for mighty men
Who, like Doctor Dry-bone
Bring them into form again
From a scale or thigh-bone.

THE GRACEFUL POLLY-WOGS

Oh, the polly-wog waltzes with wonderful grace,
And he skates with a radiant smile on his face,
While his arm in the air
Has the curve, I declare,
Of some beautiful creature's of Thrace.

A SOUTH-SEA IDOL

There lives an old god in the isles of the West,
And a wonderful god is he,
With a star on his brow, and a star on his breast,
While at left and at right,
In their armor drest,
A dragon and knight
On his shoulders rest,
And he dwells in the great South Sea.

PREPARING FOR WINTER

These squirrels have paused to consider
The fact that 't is late in the fall,
And time to lay nuts up for winter
If they would have any at all.

The red squirrel hoards like a miser,
But, alas, the improvident gray,
He's only a pauper of winter
Who scampers the summer away.

THE BATHERS

Adown the beach at Rockaway,
Three bathers one hot summer day
Retired to while the hours away.

Their minds were free, their hearts were light.
The August sun was fierce and bright,
They dived and swam from morn till night.

THE BAD BOY

This little fellow misbehaved,
And gave the people shocks,
Until at last they were compelled
To put him in the stocks.

BROTHERLY CONSOLATION

A Thingamy-bob
Got out of a job,
And went to consult with his brother:
Said his brother to him,
"Your chances are slim
Unless you go hunt up another."

THE BUTTERFLY MAN

A very gay fellow was he—
As gay as a mortal could be.
And he fluttered about
Till at last he turned out
A Butterfly man, as you see.

THE TRANSFERRED SMILE

Two little snails did smile and smile,
The summer day beguiling.
Two birds espied them from afar,
And now the birds are smiling.

THE ROYAL GROTTO

A king and a queen in a grotto
Are kissing as kings and queens ought to
If you'll look you will find
Two attendants behind,—
"To watch and to guard," is their motto.

THE MODEST MISS KANGAROO

Two kangaroos upon a pole
Were talking softly to each other.
One whispered: "Dear, upon the whole,
I think you'd better ask my mother."

THE GARGOYLE

A gargoyle here you see.
I've heard it said that he
Was found in France
By strangest chance—
But what is that to me?

I only know that we
Discovered him to be
An imp of ink;
And so I think
He's ours, as you'll agree.

THE ELF PARTY

These four little two-horned elves
Are seated on coraline shelves.
The spot where they be
Is down under the sea,
And they've got the whole reef to themselves.

UNPLEASANT COMPANIONS

Here are two Wriggles from Wriggelum-town—
Their legs are sky-blue and their bodies are brown;
Their tails are a wonderful changeable hue;
I don't care to have them for playmates, do you?

THE GRENADIER

A soldierly fellow is he,
With swords as erect as can be.
His attendants are queer,
And so small, they appear
To barely reach up to his knee.

KINGS' JESTERS

Jesters from the courts of kings
Tell their secret whisperings.
Just a fleeting moment, then
They must hurry back again.
Ever making monarchs gay,
Happy-hearted jesters they.

THE FUNNY OCTOPUS

A jolly old octopus lived in the sea,
With a hey-diddle hi-diddle dum;
And the funniest sort of a fellow was he,
This jolly old octopus under the sea,
With a mouth where the top of his head ought to be,
To swallow the divers that come—
This jolly old octopus under the sea,
With a hey-diddle hi-diddle dum.

THE NYMPHS AND THE OSTRICHES

Two pious little nymphs are kneeling here—
Two double-headed ostriches above them;
And on their backs two gallant knights appear—
Perhaps they'll see the little nymphs and love them.

A CONVENIENCE

The shadow-rack stands in the Shadow-man's hall;
It holds shadow-canes and umbrellas, and all
The various things that the Gobolinks use
When they go for a walk to get rid of the blues.

ENTOMOLOGY

These are some insects that dwell in the grass
And nip at the gobolinks' toes as they pass.
Their legs are uneven, their bodies are queer.
Their habits are very uncertain, I fear.

FOX AND GEESE

Two foxes stole two geese one night,
When the air was warm and the moon was bright:
One started west—one started east—
Their hearts intent on a glorious feast.
But alas! for the things that we hope to do!
A funny old man, with pistols two,
Came running out, where the moon was bright,
And they dropped their plunder and took to flight.

THE TAIL OF TADDY POLE

There was a little Polliwog—
His name was Taddy Pole.
He lived within a little bog,
Beside a crawfish hole.

And all the day did Taddy play
Around a sunken log,
Until he lost his tail one day,
And then he was a frog.

THE ARABESQUE

Oh, here are two doves in a bower,
Or a wonderful arabesque flower;
Or a nobby design
For a sweet valentine;
Or, reversed, 't is a beast with a glower.

THE GOBOLINKS' MIRROR

Tins is the mirror the gobolinks use
To do up their tresses in style if they choose.
To do up their tresses,
And look at their dresses,
And maybe to button their shoes.

WIND MAIDENS

Here are two maids of the wind
Whose dresses are strangely designed.
They appear to be made
Without buttons or braid,
And fastened together behind.

THE PUGILISTS

The pugilistic craze is such
That e'en the gobolinks absorb it.
These pictures don't amount to much,
But they were made for Fitz and Corbett.

WHAT THEY LEFT

Oh, here's to the poet that sings
The song of the gobolink kings
Who left silhouettes
With their kindest regrets,
And other quite wonderful things.

GOBOLINK HORSES

These are the steeds that the gobolinks use;
They love them and pet them and never abuse.
Their backs are not pleasant to sit on, they say,
So they ride them erect in the hippodrome way.

MISS F.M. DE LISLE

This is a damsel who dresses in style.
Her name is Miss Fannie Magruder De Lisle.
She loves to look pretty—as most of us do—
That's why she's so stylish, and dignified, too.

FANNIE'S CURLING-TONGS

These are the irons with which Fannie crimps
Her fair auburn tresses whenever she primps.
She curls and arranges her locks with great care,
Because she is proud of her radiant hair.

THE BEARS AND THE HARLEQUINS.

Gay harlequins dancing—beribboned are they
And carry two poles in the air;
That rest on their heads in a curious way,
And top of each pole is a bear,
I declare,
A wonderful, long-tailed bear.

THE FAITHFUL NOTES

An old guitar once broke its strings,
And all the musical notes took wings;
They harried away to lands afar.
But two of them stayed with the old guitar.

THE POLITE COLLY-WOBBLES

Very polite colly-wobbles are these—
They hang by their feet to the branches of trees,
While a hand they extend
To a wobbledy friend,
And often they say, "If you please."

THE BRAVE WARRIORS

Two Indian warriors got frightened one day,
And fled from the midst of alarms;
And later they met in a curious way,
Each bearing a goat in his arms.

STEEPLE MEN

Two funny old three-legged gnomes
Came out of their shadowy domes:
They made their salute
With a hand and a foot,
And then hurried back to their homes.

THE SHEET-AND-PILLOW PARTY

A pillow-case party the Gobolinks gave,
And it proved a right merry carouse:
But I'm sure you'd have laughed at their attitudes grave
As they made their ridiculous bows.

MOSS-BACKS

Here are two scraggle-de-racks
With moss on their beautiful backs—
The sort that you'll find
On such of mankind
As fail to keep up with the facts.

A WHAT-IS-IT

There was an old man of high feather,
Who said, "I can't really tell whether
I'm a man or a mouse,
Or the roof of a house,
So much may depend on the weather."

THE MERRY WATER-WEEDLES

Within the caverns of the sea
Two Water-weedles stay.
Their hearts are happy as can be,
Within the caverns of the sea
They sing and frolic in their glee
Throughout the livelong day.
Within the caverns of the sea
Two water-weedles stay.

A NARROW ESCAPE

Two piggies went to market
All on a market day,
But when the butcher caught them
They wished they'd stayed away.

"Oh, Piggy-wiggy, fare you well,
Our ribs will soon be spare."
And they quickly ran away,
And now they don't go there.

THE CAPTIVES

Pray tell us, if you please,
What sort of things are these:
A shadow-ghost has captured them,
And holds them fast with ease.

THE VICIOUS GOLLY-POPS

Here are two Golly-pops
Looking for lollypops
Such as grow under the sea.
Their ways are ambitious,
Their faces are vicious.
I'm glad they're not looking for me.

THE DIVERS

Two divers, one sweet summer day,
Went down into the ocean,
They saw the fishes all at play,
The sea-flowers all in motion.

They danced a jig and sang a song,
And gathered water-roses,
When, lo, two lobsters came along,
And bit them on their toeses.

THE SHADOW-HARP

This is the harp of which nobody sings—
Where is the keyboard and where are the strings?
The strings are undone and the keys thrown away,
For this is the harp on which shadow-folk play.

A GLAD RETURN

Two little maids just home from school
Have been so long asunder—
They first embrace, then face to face
They stand and look and wonder.

GROTESQUES

Very funny creatures these—
Can't tell what they are.
Men or birds or beasts or bees—
Very funny creatures these—
Turn them either way you please—
View them near or far.
Very funny creatures these—
Can't tell what they are.

SHADOW-CRESTS

These are designs of heraldry
That shadow-folk affect,
Though some are no less shadowy
Than those that men select.

For many men have bought a crest
Although they come quite dear,
And such of those as can't invest
May find an emblem here.

A FRONTIER COAT-OF-ARMS

This is a crest
That came out of the West,
For the family was founded
Where hunters abounded,
So the head of a deer
And two hunters appear.

THE FANCIFUL ELK

This is the head of an elk, as you see.
His horns are as tall as a sycamore tree.
They are strangely designed,
And I think you will find
He has horns where his ears ought to be.

T' OTHER AND WHICH

Ink-bottle imps turn up their noses
When they meet each other:
And the reason, I suppose, is—
Can't tell which from t' other.

CATHODES

And here we have a lot of things
Defying nomenclature.
The bones of Gobolinks are they,
Revealing in the cathode ray
Their anatomic nature.

IN THE X-RAY

Cathode fairy,
Light and airy,
Sunny weather,
Two together,
Caring nothing why or whether
Flesh or blood or bone or feather
Shows on such a summer day
'Neath the Cathode's magic ray.

A BEETLEVILLE DANCE

The beetles gave a party,
And all their friends were there.
The welcome was so hearty
To join the beetles' party,
The Joodle and the Jarty
Came flying through the air.
Oh, the beetles gave a party,
And all their friends were there.

QUEEN BEETLE

A Lady queen of Beetle-land—
Attendants small on either hand.
They walk or fly with equal skill—
They fetch and carry at her will.
I'm glad, I'm sure, that we have seen
The beetles and their lady queen.

BEETLES

GOLD BUG

This is a beetle that came from Metuchen—
The plan of his house is likewise his escutcheon.

KING BEETLE

Oh, a marvelous mind has the old beetle king,
And he rules in a marvelous way;
For he rolls up his eyes and commences to sing
When his subjects go glittering by on the wing;
And 'tis said that his notes have a powerful ring
When he chants at the breaking of day—
They say—
His anthem at breaking of day.

OUR PET

The head of a Gobolink tiger—
With smellers arranged as you see
He used to reside on the Niger;
But now he is living with me.

GOOD BREEDING

Most Shadow-people are polite.
And bow whene'er they meet;
For us to do the same is right,
At home or in the street.

THE WASHERWOMEN

There were some old ladies of Dundee
Who did all their washing on Mondee.
Then they shook out their clothes
Till they dried, I suppose,
To have them all ready for Sundee.

A MARINE BALL

Two lobsters and two sea-horses
One day came out of the wet;
They heard a mermaid sing her song,
And danced a minuet.

THE QUEER MOLLUSKS

Ridiculous mollusks are we,
And dwell in the depths of the sea.
Our bodies are jelly,
And we haven't a belly
In the place where our bellies should be.

SEAWEEDS

SEA-TULIP[A]

Within the garden of the sea
Are gems of beauty rare—
The Star-wort and Anemone
And Ocean pinks are there.

Oh, these are dainty things indeed
The Mermaids keep in store;
But fairer still, to me, the weed
That decks the ocean's floor.

Whatever flower of earth we win,
Howe'er so fair it be,
'T will not surpass those weeds within
The garden of the sea.

[A] Names given are in use only in Gobolink-land.

ICICLE PLANT

TOWER WEED.

GIANT BLUE STEM

PRAYER WEED

COMB WEED

LYNX HEAD

MONK WEED

SEA CHICORY

FINIS

There was a gay Gobolink known as Maginnis,
But now he is dead and we use him for Finis;
Or, if you prefer to pronounce it Fin-nee,
We'll say that this Gobolink's name was Magee.

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 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
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.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 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

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.

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

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.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
particular state visit http://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: http://pglaf.org/donate

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works.

Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:

http://www.gutenberg.net

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.
