FOREWORD
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The story contained herein was written by Charles Dickens in 1867. It is
|
||||
the third of four stories entitled "Holiday Romance" and was published
|
||||
originally in a children's magazine in America. It purports to be
|
||||
written by a child aged nine. It was republished in England in "All the
|
||||
Year Round" in 1868. For this and four other Christmas pieces Dickens
|
||||
received £1,000.
|
||||
|
||||
"Holiday Romance" was published in book form by Messrs Chapman & Hall in
|
||||
1874, with "Edwin Drood" and other stories.
|
||||
|
||||
For this reprint the text of the story as it appeared in "All the Year
|
||||
Round" has been followed.

CAPTAIN BOLDHEART AND THE LATIN-GRAMMAR MASTER
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The subject of our present narrative would appear to have devoted
|
||||
himself to the Pirate profession at a comparatively early age. We find
|
||||
him in command of a splendid schooner of one hundred guns, loaded to the
|
||||
muzzle, 'ere yet he had had a party in honour of his tenth birthday.
|
||||
|
||||
It seems that our hero, considering himself spited by a
|
||||
Latin-Grammar-Master, demanded the satisfaction due from one man of
|
||||
honour to another. Not getting it, he privately withdrew his haughty
|
||||
spirit from such low company, bought a second-hand pocket-pistol, folded
|
||||
up some sandwiches in a paper bag, made a bottle of Spanish
|
||||
liquorice-water, and entered on a career of valour.
|
||||
|
||||
It were tedious to follow Boldheart (for such was his name) through the
|
||||
commencing stages of his history. Suffice it that we find him bearing
|
||||
the rank of Captain Boldheart, reclining in full uniform on a crimson
|
||||
hearth-rug spread out upon the quarter-deck of his schooner the Beauty,
|
||||
in the China Seas. It was a lovely evening, and as his crew lay grouped
|
||||
about him, he favoured them with the following melody:
|
||||
|
||||
O landsmen are folly!
|
||||
O Pirates are jolly!
|
||||
O Diddleum Dolly,
|
||||
Di!
|
||||
(_Chorus_) Heave yo.
|
||||
|
||||
The soothing effect of these animated sounds floating over the waters,
|
||||
as the common sailors united their rough voices to take up the rich
|
||||
tones of Boldheart, may be more easily conceived than described.
|
||||
|
||||
It was under these circumstances that the lookout at the masthead gave
|
||||
the word, "Whales!"
|
||||
|
||||
All was now activity.
|
||||
|
||||
"Where away?" cried Captain Boldheart, starting up.
|
||||
|
||||
"On the larboard bow, sir," replied the fellow at the masthead, touching
|
||||
his hat. For such was the height of discipline on board of the Beauty,
|
||||
that even at that height he was obliged to mind it or be shot through
|
||||
the head.
|
||||
|
||||
[Illustration: "His crew lay grouped around him"]
|
||||
|
||||
"This adventure belongs to me," said Boldheart. "Boy, my harpoon. Let
|
||||
no man follow;" and leaping alone into his boat, the captain rowed with
|
||||
admirable dexterity in the direction of the monster.
|
||||
|
||||
All was now excitement.
|
||||
|
||||
"He nears him!" said an elderly seaman, following the captain through
|
||||
his spy-glass.
|
||||
|
||||
"He strikes him!" said another seaman, a mere stripling, but also with a
|
||||
spy-glass.
|
||||
|
||||
"He tows him towards us!" said another seaman, a man in the full vigour
|
||||
of life, but also with a spy-glass.
|
||||
|
||||
In fact the captain was seen approaching, with the huge bulk following.
|
||||
We will not dwell on the deafening cries of "Boldheart! Boldheart!" with
|
||||
which he was received, when, carelessly leaping on the quarter-deck, he
|
||||
presented his prize to his men. They afterwards made two thousand four
|
||||
hundred and seventeen pound ten and sixpence by it.
|
||||
|
||||
Ordering the sails to be braced up, the captain now stood W.N.W. The
|
||||
Beauty flew rather than floated over the dark blue waters. Nothing
|
||||
particular occurred for a fortnight, except taking, with considerable
|
||||
slaughter, four Spanish galleons, and a Snow from South America, all
|
||||
richly laden. Inaction began to tell upon the spirits of the men.
|
||||
Captain Boldheart called all hands aft, and said:
|
||||
|
||||
"My lads, I hear there are discontented ones among ye. Let any such
|
||||
stand forth."
|
||||
|
||||
After some murmuring, in which the expressions, "Aye, aye, sir!" "Union
|
||||
Jack!" "Avast," "Starboard," "Port," "Bowsprit," and similar indications
|
||||
of a mutinous undercurrent, though subdued, were audible, Bill Boozey,
|
||||
captain of the foretop, came out from the rest. His form was that of a
|
||||
giant, but he quailed under the captain's eye.
|
||||
|
||||
"What are your wrongs?" said the captain.
|
||||
|
||||
"Why, d'ye see, Captain Boldheart," replied the towering mariner, "I've
|
||||
sailed man and boy for many a year, but I never yet know'd the milk
|
||||
served out for the ship's company's teas to be so sour as 'tis aboard
|
||||
this craft."
|
||||
|
||||
[Illustration: THE RESCUE OF WILLIAM BOOZEY.]
|
||||
|
||||
At this moment the thrilling cry, "Man overboard!" announced to the
|
||||
astonished crew that Boozey, in stepping back, as the captain (in mere
|
||||
thoughtfulness) laid his hand upon the faithful pocket-pistol which he
|
||||
wore in his belt, had lost his balance, and was struggling with the
|
||||
foaming tide.
|
||||
|
||||
All was now stupefaction.
|
||||
|
||||
But, with Captain Boldheart, to throw off his uniform coat regardless of
|
||||
the various rich orders with which it was decorated, and to plunge into
|
||||
the sea after the drowning giant, was the work of a moment. Maddening
|
||||
was the excitement when boats were lowered; intense the joy when the
|
||||
captain was seen holding up the drowning man with his teeth; deafening
|
||||
the cheering when both were restored to the main deck of the Beauty. And
|
||||
from the instant of his changing his wet clothes for dry ones, Captain
|
||||
Boldheart had no such devoted though humble friend as William Boozey.
|
||||
|
||||
Boldheart now pointed to the horizon, and called the attention of his
|
||||
crew to the taper spars of a ship lying snug in harbour under the guns
|
||||
of a fort.
|
||||
|
||||
"She shall be ours at sunrise," said he. "Serve out a double allowance
|
||||
of grog, and prepare for action."
|
||||
|
||||
All was now preparation.
|
||||
|
||||
When morning dawned after a sleepless night, it was seen that the
|
||||
stranger was crowding on all sail to come out of the harbour and offer
|
||||
battle. As the two ships came nearer to each other, the stranger fired a
|
||||
gun and hoisted Roman colours. Boldheart then perceived her to be the
|
||||
Latin-Grammar-Master's bark. Such indeed she was, and had been tacking
|
||||
about the world in unavailing pursuit, from the time of his first taking
|
||||
to a roving life.
|
||||
|
||||
Boldheart now addressed his men, promising to blow them up if he should
|
||||
feel convinced that their reputation required it, and giving orders that
|
||||
the Latin-Grammar-Master should be taken alive. He then dismissed them
|
||||
to their quarters, and the fight began with a broadside from The Beauty.
|
||||
She then veered round, and poured in another. The Scorpion (so was the
|
||||
bark of the Latin-Grammar-Master appropriately called) was not slow to
|
||||
return her fire, and a terrific cannonading ensued, in which the guns of
|
||||
The Beauty did tremendous execution.
|
||||
|
||||
The Latin-Grammar-Master was seen upon the poop, in the midst of the
|
||||
smoke and fire, encouraging his men. To do him justice, he was no
|
||||
Craven, though his white hat, his short grey trousers, and his long
|
||||
snuff-coloured surtout reaching to his heels--the self-same coat in
|
||||
which he had spited Boldheart--contrasted most unfavourably with the
|
||||
brilliant uniform of the latter. At this moment Boldheart, seizing a
|
||||
pike and putting himself at the head of his men, gave the word to board.
|
||||
|
||||
A desperate conflict ensued in the hammock nettings--or somewhere in
|
||||
about that direction--until the Latin-Grammar-Master, having all his
|
||||
masts gone, his hull and rigging shot through and through, and seeing
|
||||
Boldheart slashing a path towards him, hauled down his flag himself,
|
||||
gave up his sword to Boldheart, and asked for quarter. Scarce had he
|
||||
been put into the captain's boat, 'ere The Scorpion went down with all
|
||||
on board.
|
||||
|
||||
On Captain Boldheart's now assembling his men, a circumstance occurred.
|
||||
He found it necessary with one blow of his cutlass to kill the Cook,
|
||||
who, having lost his brother in the late action, was making at the
|
||||
Latin-Grammar-Master in an infuriated state, intent on his destruction
|
||||
with a carving-knife.
|
||||
|
||||
Captain Boldheart then turned to the Latin-Grammar-Master, severely
|
||||
reproaching him with his perfidy, and put it to his crew what they
|
||||
considered that a master who spited a boy deserved?
|
||||
|
||||
They answered with one voice, "Death."
|
||||
|
||||
"It may be so," said the Captain; "but it shall never be said that
|
||||
Boldheart stained his hour of triumph with the blood of his enemy.
|
||||
Prepare the cutter."
|
||||
|
||||
The cutter was immediately prepared.
|
||||
|
||||
"Without taking your life," said the Captain, "I must yet for ever
|
||||
deprive you of the power of spiting other boys. I shall turn you adrift
|
||||
in this boat. You will find in her two oars, a compass, a bottle of rum,
|
||||
a small cask of water, a piece of pork, a bag of biscuit, and my Latin
|
||||
grammar. Go! and spite the natives, if you can find any."
|
||||
|
||||
Deeply conscious of this bitter sarcasm, the unhappy wretch was put into
|
||||
the cutter, and was soon left far behind. He made no effort to row, but
|
||||
was seen lying on his back with his legs up, when last made out by the
|
||||
ship's telescopes.
|
||||
|
||||
A stiff breeze now beginning to blow, Captain Boldheart gave orders to
|
||||
keep her S.S.W., easing her a little during the night by falling off a
|
||||
point or two W. by W., or even by W.S., if she complained much. He then
|
||||
retired for the night, having in truth much need of repose. In addition
|
||||
to the fatigues he had undergone, this brave officer had received
|
||||
sixteen wounds in the engagement, but had not mentioned it.
|
||||
|
||||
In the morning a white squall came on, and was succeeded by other
|
||||
squalls of various colours. It thundered and lightened heavily for six
|
||||
weeks. Hurricanes then set in for two months. Waterspouts and tornadoes
|
||||
followed. The oldest sailor on board--and he was a very old one--had
|
||||
never seen such weather. The Beauty lost all idea where she was, and the
|
||||
carpenter reported six feet two of water in the hold. Everybody fell
|
||||
senseless at the pumps every day.
|
||||
|
||||
Provisions now ran very low. Our hero put the crew on short allowance,
|
||||
and put himself on shorter allowance than any man in the ship. But his
|
||||
spirit kept him fat. In this extremity, the gratitude of Boozey, the
|
||||
captain of the foretop whom our readers may remember, was truly
|
||||
affecting. The loving though lowly William repeatedly requested to be
|
||||
killed, and preserved for the captain's table.
|
||||
|
||||
We now approach a change in affairs.
|
||||
|
||||
One day during a gleam of sunshine and when the weather had moderated,
|
||||
the man at the masthead--too weak now to touch his hat, besides its
|
||||
having been blown away--called out,
|
||||
|
||||
"Savages!"
|
||||
|
||||
All was now expectation.
|
||||
|
||||
Presently fifteen hundred canoes, each paddled by twenty savages, were
|
||||
seen advancing in excellent order. They were a light green colour (the
|
||||
Savages were), and sang, with great energy, the following strain:
|
||||
|
||||
Choo a choo a choo tooth.
|
||||
Muntch, muntch. Nycey!
|
||||
Choo a choo a choo tooth.
|
||||
Muntch, muntch. Nyce!
|
||||
|
||||
As the shades of night were by this time closing in, these expressions
|
||||
were supposed to embody this simple people's views of the Evening Hymn.
|
||||
But it too soon appeared that the song was a translation of "For what
|
||||
we are going to receive," &c.
|
||||
|
||||
The chief, imposingly decorated with feathers of lively colours, and
|
||||
having the majestic appearance of a fighting Parrot, no sooner
|
||||
understood (he understood English perfectly) that the ship was The
|
||||
Beauty, Captain Boldheart, than he fell upon his face on the deck, and
|
||||
could not be persuaded to rise until the captain had lifted him up, &
|
||||
told him he wouldn't hurt him. All the rest of the savages also fell on
|
||||
their faces with marks of terror, and had also to be lifted up one by
|
||||
one. Thus the fame of the great Boldheart had gone before him, even
|
||||
among these children of Nature.
|
||||
|
||||
Turtles and oysters were now produced in astonishing numbers, and on
|
||||
these and yams the people made a hearty meal. After dinner the Chief
|
||||
told Captain Boldheart that there was better feeding up at the village,
|
||||
and that he would be glad to take him and his officers there.
|
||||
Apprehensive of treachery, Boldheart ordered his boat's crew to attend
|
||||
him completely armed. And well were it for other commanders if their
|
||||
precautions--but let us not anticipate.
|
||||
|
||||
[Illustration: "Arm-in-arm with the Chief"]
|
||||
|
||||
[Illustration: "TWO SAVAGES FLOURED HIM BEFORE PUTTING HIM TO THE
|
||||
FIRE."]
|
||||
|
||||
When the canoes arrived at the beach, the darkness of the night was
|
||||
illumined by the light of an immense fire. Ordering his boat's crew
|
||||
(with the intrepid though illiterate William at their head) to keep
|
||||
close and be upon their guard, Boldheart bravely went on, arm-in-arm
|
||||
with the Chief.
|
||||
|
||||
But how to depict the captain's surprise when he found a ring of Savages
|
||||
singing in chorus that barbarous translation of "For what we are going
|
||||
to receive, &c.," which has been given above, and dancing hand-in-hand
|
||||
round the Latin-Grammar-Master, in a hamper with his head shaved, while
|
||||
two savages floured him, before putting him to the fire to be cooked!
|
||||
|
||||
Boldheart now took counsel with his officers on the course to be
|
||||
adopted. In the mean time, the miserable captive never ceased begging
|
||||
pardon and imploring to be delivered. On the generous Boldheart's
|
||||
proposal, it was at length resolved that he should not be cooked, but
|
||||
should be allowed to remain raw, on two conditions. Namely,
|
||||
|
||||
1. That he should never under any circumstances presume to teach
|
||||
any boy any thing any more.
|
||||
|
||||
2. That, if taken back to England, he should pass his life in
|
||||
travelling to find out boys who wanted their exercises done, and
|
||||
should do their exercises for those boys for nothing, and never say
|
||||
a word about it.
|
||||
|
||||
Drawing his sword from its sheath, Boldheart swore him to these
|
||||
conditions on its shining blade. The prisoner wept bitterly, and
|
||||
appeared acutely to feel the errors of his past career.
|
||||
|
||||
The captain then ordered his boat's crew to make ready for a volley, and
|
||||
after firing to re-load quickly. "And expect a score or two on ye to go
|
||||
head over heels," murmured William Boozey; "for I'm a looking at ye."
|
||||
With those words the derisive though deadly William took a good aim.
|
||||
|
||||
"Fire!"
|
||||
|
||||
The ringing voice of Boldheart was lost in the report of the guns and
|
||||
the screeching of the savages. Volley after volley awakened the numerous
|
||||
echoes. Hundreds of savages were killed, hundreds wounded, and thousands
|
||||
ran howling into the woods. The Latin-Grammar-Master had a spare
|
||||
night-cap lent him, and a longtail coat which he wore hind side
|
||||
before. He presented a ludicrous though pitiable appearance, and serve
|
||||
him right.
|
||||
|
||||
[Illustration: "THE LATIN-GRAMMAR-MASTER HAD A SPARE NIGHTCAP LENT HIM
|
||||
AND A LONGTAIL COAT WHICH HE WORE HIND SIDE BEFORE."]
|
||||
|
||||
[Illustration: "ERE THE SUN WENT DOWN FULL MANY A HORNPIPE HAD BEEN
|
||||
DANCED ... BY THE UNCOUTH THOUGH AGILE WILLIAM."]
|
||||
|
||||
We now find Captain Boldheart, with this rescued wretch on board,
|
||||
standing off for other islands. At one of these, not a cannibal island,
|
||||
but a pork and vegetable one, he married (only in fun on his part) the
|
||||
King's daughter. Here he rested some time, receiving from the natives
|
||||
great quantities of precious stones, gold dust, elephants' teeth, and
|
||||
sandal wood, and getting very rich. This, too, though he almost every
|
||||
day made presents of enormous value to his men.
|
||||
|
||||
The ship being at length as full as she could hold of all sorts of
|
||||
valuable things, Boldheart gave orders to weigh the anchor, and turn the
|
||||
Beauty's head towards England. These orders were obeyed with three
|
||||
cheers, and ere the sun went down full many a hornpipe had been danced
|
||||
on deck by the uncouth though agile William.
|
||||
|
||||
We next find Captain Boldheart about three leagues off Madeira,
|
||||
surveying through his spy-glass a stranger of suspicious appearance
|
||||
making sail towards him. On his firing a gun ahead of her to bring
|
||||
her to, she ran up a flag, which he instantly recognized as the flag
|
||||
from the mast in the back-garden at home.
|
||||
|
||||
[Illustration: "Married the Chief's daughter"]
|
||||
|
||||
Inferring from this, that his father had put to sea to seek his
|
||||
long-lost son, the captain sent his own boat on board the stranger, to
|
||||
inquire if this was so, and if so, whether his father's intentions were
|
||||
strictly honourable. The boat came back with a present of greens and
|
||||
fresh meat, and reported that the stranger was The Family of twelve
|
||||
hundred tons, and had not only the captain's father on board, but also
|
||||
his mother, with the majority of his aunts and uncles, and all his
|
||||
cousins. It was further reported to Boldheart that the whole of these
|
||||
relations had expressed themselves in a becoming manner, and were
|
||||
anxious to embrace him and thank him for the glorious credit he had done
|
||||
them. Boldheart at once invited them to breakfast next morning on board
|
||||
the Beauty, and gave orders for a brilliant ball that should last all
|
||||
day.
|
||||
|
||||
It was in the course of the night that the captain discovered the
|
||||
hopelessness of reclaiming the Latin-Grammar-Master. That thankless
|
||||
traitor was found out, as the two ships lay near each other,
|
||||
communicating with The Family by signals, and offering to give up
|
||||
Boldheart. He was hanged at the yard-arm the first thing in the morning,
|
||||
after having it impressively pointed out to him by Boldheart that this
|
||||
was what spiters came to.
|
||||
|
||||
The meeting between the captain and his parents was attended with tears.
|
||||
His uncles and aunts would have attended their meeting with tears too,
|
||||
but he wasn't going to stand that. His cousins were very much astonished
|
||||
by the size of his ship and the discipline of his men, and were greatly
|
||||
overcome by the splendour of his uniform. He kindly conducted them round
|
||||
the vessel, and pointed out every thing worthy of notice. He also fired
|
||||
his hundred guns, and found it amusing to witness their alarm.
|
||||
|
||||
The entertainment surpassed everything ever seen on board ship, and
|
||||
lasted from ten in the morning until seven the next morning. Only one
|
||||
disagreeable incident occurred. Captain Boldheart found himself obliged
|
||||
to put his cousin Tom in irons, for being disrespectful. On the boy's
|
||||
promising amendment, however, he was humanely released after a few
|
||||
hours' close confinement.
|
||||
|
||||
Boldheart now took his mother down into the great cabin, and asked after
|
||||
the young lady with whom, it was well known to the world, he was in
|
||||
love. His mother replied that the object of his affections was then at
|
||||
school at Margate, for the benefit of sea-bathing (it was the month of
|
||||
September), but that she feared the young lady's friends were still
|
||||
opposed to the union. Boldheart at once resolved, if necessary, to
|
||||
bombard the town.
|
||||
|
||||
Taking the command of his ship with this intention, and putting all but
|
||||
fighting men on board The Family, with orders to that vessel to keep in
|
||||
company, Boldheart soon anchored in Margate Roads. Here he went ashore
|
||||
well-armed, and attended by his boat's crew (at their head the faithful
|
||||
though ferocious William), and demanded to see the Mayor, who came out
|
||||
of his office.
|
||||
|
||||
"Dost know the name of yon ship, Mayor?" asked Boldheart fiercely.
|
||||
|
||||
[Illustration: "DOST KNOW THE NAME OF YON SHIP, MAYOR?"]
|
||||
|
||||
[Illustration: STANDING SENTRY OVER HIM]
|
||||
|
||||
"No," said the Mayor, rubbing his eyes, which he could scarce believe
|
||||
when he saw the goodly vessel riding at anchor.
|
||||
|
||||
"She is named the Beauty," said the captain.
|
||||
|
||||
"Hah!" exclaimed the Mayor, with a start. "And you, then, are Captain
|
||||
Boldheart?"
|
||||
|
||||
"The same."
|
||||
|
||||
A pause ensued. The Mayor trembled.
|
||||
|
||||
"Now, Mayor," said the captain, "choose. Help me to my Bride, or be
|
||||
bombarded."
|
||||
|
||||
The Mayor begged for two hours' grace, in which to make inquiries
|
||||
respecting the young lady. Boldheart accorded him but one; and during
|
||||
that one placed William Boozey sentry over him, with a drawn sword and
|
||||
instructions to accompany him wherever he went, and to run him through
|
||||
the body if he showed a sign of playing false.
|
||||
|
||||
At the end of the hour, the Mayor re-appeared more dead than alive,
|
||||
closely waited on by Boozey more alive than dead.
|
||||
|
||||
[Illustration: "His lovely Bride came forth"]
|
||||
|
||||
"Captain," said the Mayor, "I have ascertained that the young lady is
|
||||
going to bathe. Even now she waits her turn for a machine. The tide is
|
||||
low, though rising. I, in one of our town-boats, shall not be
|
||||
suspected. When she comes forth in her bathing-dress into the shallow
|
||||
water from behind the hood of the machine, my boat shall intercept her
|
||||
and prevent her return. Do you the rest."
|
||||
|
||||
"Mayor," returned Capt. Boldheart, "thou hast saved thy town."
|
||||
|
||||
The captain then signalled his boat to take him off, and steering her
|
||||
himself ordered her crew to row towards the bathing-ground, and there to
|
||||
rest upon their oars. All happened as had been arranged. His lovely
|
||||
bride came forth, the Mayor glided in behind her, she became confused
|
||||
and had floated out of her depth, when, with one skilful touch of the
|
||||
rudder and one quivering stroke from the boat's crew, her adoring
|
||||
Boldheart held her in his strong arms. There her shrieks of terror were
|
||||
changed to cries of joy.
|
||||
|
||||
Before the Beauty could get under weigh, the hoisting of all the flags
|
||||
in the town and harbour, and the ringing of all the bells, announced to
|
||||
the brave Boldheart that he had nothing to fear. He therefore determined
|
||||
to be married on the spot, and signalled for a clergyman and clerk, who
|
||||
came off promptly in a sailing-boat named the Skylark. Another great
|
||||
entertainment was then given on board the Beauty, in the midst of which
|
||||
the Mayor was called out by a messenger. He returned with the news that
|
||||
Government had sent down to know whether Captain Boldheart, in
|
||||
acknowledgment of the great services he had done his country by being a
|
||||
Pirate, would consent to be made a Lieutenant-Colonel. For himself he
|
||||
would have spurned the worthless boon, but his Bride wished it and he
|
||||
consented.
|
||||
|
||||
Only one thing further happened before the good ship Family was
|
||||
dismissed, with rich presents to all on board. It is painful to record
|
||||
(but such is human nature in some cousins) that Captain Boldheart's
|
||||
unmannerly cousin Tom was actually tied up to receive three dozen with a
|
||||
rope's end "for cheekyness and making games," when Captain Boldheart's
|
||||
lady begged for him and he was spared. The Beauty then refitted, and the
|
||||
Captain and his Bride departed for the Indian Ocean to enjoy themselves
|
||||
for evermore.
|
||||
|
||||
[Illustration: "CAPTAIN BOLDHEART'S LADY BEGGED FOR HIM AND HE WAS
|
||||
SPARED."]

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

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 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.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

|
||||
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 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
|
||||
|
||||
1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
|
||||
from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
|
||||
posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
|
||||
and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
|
||||
or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
|
||||
with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
|
||||
work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
|
||||
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

permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

||||
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
|
||||

|
||||
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

|
||||
of receipt of the work.

||||
electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set

||||
both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
|
||||

||||
Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
|
||||
|
||||
1.F.
|
||||
|
||||
1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
|
||||
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
|
||||
public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
|
||||
collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
|
||||
works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
|
||||
"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
|
||||
corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
|
||||
property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
|
||||
computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
|
||||
your equipment.
|
||||
|
||||
1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
|
||||
of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
|
||||
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
|
||||
Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
|
||||
Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
|
||||
liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
|
||||
fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
|
||||
LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
|
||||
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
|
||||
TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
|
||||
LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
|
||||
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
|
||||
DAMAGE.
|
||||
|
||||
1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
|
||||
defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
|
||||
receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
|
||||
written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
|
||||
received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
|
||||
your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with
|
||||
the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
|
||||
refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
|
||||
providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
|
||||
receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
|
||||
is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
|
||||
opportunities to fix the problem.
|
||||
|
||||
1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
|
||||
in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
|
||||
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
|
||||
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
|
||||
|
||||
1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
|
||||
warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
|
||||
If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
|
||||
law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
|
||||
interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
|
||||
the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
|
||||
provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
|
||||
|
||||
1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
|
||||
|
||||
Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
|
||||
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
|
||||
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
|
||||
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
|
||||
people in all walks of life.
|
||||
|
||||
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
|
||||
assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
|
||||
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
|
||||
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
|
||||
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
|
||||
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

||||

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 checks, online payments and credit card donations.
|
||||

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.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.
