BROOMHALL CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL, MINNEAPOLIS MINNESOTA ALLYN AND BACON BOSTON NEW YORK CHICAGO ATLANTA SAN FRANCISCO COPYRIGHT, 1921, BY EDITH J. BROOMHALL. Norwood Press J. S. Cushing Co.--Berwick & Smith Co. Norwood, Mass., U.S.A. PREFACE This book aims to teach Spanish idiom. The greatest hindrance to the use of idiomatic Spanish lies in the failure to realize that common English words have various Spanish meanings. To meet this difficulty, the notes and exercises of _Spanish Composition_ are focused on the errors beginners most frequently make. For instance, attention is drawn to the fact that words like _up_, _down_, _out_, _in_, _away_ are usually included in the Spanish verb, which is often entirely different from the English expression. Thus, while "to get" is _obtener_, "to get up" is _levantarse_. Of course the treatment cannot be exhaustive, but enough examples are given to show the pupil the necessity of _thinking_ before translating even the commonest words and phrases. The aim has been to give a simple and specific discussion of everyday expressions rather than to try to cover the entire field of Spanish idiom. About two hundred and fifty quotations from famous Spanish authors illustrate the various idioms and acquaint the learner with the great names of Spanish literature. I wish to express my hearty thanks to Dr. Harry Kurz of Carleton College, and to my colleagues in the Minneapolis High Schools, Señor Fernando García and Señor Julius Arrieta, who have read the work either in manuscript or in proof.

Location is _always_ expressed by =estar=. _I, who was white, am also brown, because the sun has kissed me._ =Yo, que era blanca, estoy también morena, porque el sol me ha besado.=--MARTÍNEZ SIERRA. (_a_) In expressions referring to the weather _to be_ is rendered by =hacer=, _to make_, the descriptive adjective becoming in Spanish a noun of corresponding meaning. _It was suffocatingly hot._ =Hacía un calor sofocante.=--PALACIO VALDÉS. _It was very cold in the city to-day._ =Hacía mucho frío hoy en la ciudad.= _Note._--In all such expressions _very_ must be translated =mucho=, since =calor=, =frío=, etc., are nouns. (_b_) When used with a predicate adjective indicating mental or physical state, _to be_ is translated by =tener=, the adjective changing to a noun of corresponding meaning. The commonest of these expressions are _to be hungry_, _thirsty_, _hot_, _cold_, _sleepy_, _afraid_, _right_, _careful_, _jealous_, which are rendered =tener hambre=, =sed=, =calor=, =frío=, =sueño=, =miedo=, =razón=, =cuidado=, =celos=. _Uncle is right. That can't hurt him._ =Tiene razón el tío. Eso no puede hacerle mal.=--RAMOS CARRIÓN. _While I am so cold I don't want to go out._ =Mientras tengo tanto frío no quiero salir.= _I wasn't hungry but I was very sleepy._ =No tenía hambre pero tenía mucho sueño.= _Note._--In all similar expressions _so_ is rendered =tanto=. Cf. note to (_a_) above. (_c_) Many phrases consisting of the verb _to be_ and an adjective denoting age or dimension are translated by =tener= and a noun. Such are _to be old_, _wide_, _long_, _high_, etc., rendered =tener edad=, =anchura=, =longitud=, =altitud=. Note also _to be to blame_, _one's fault_, =tener la culpa=; _to be successful_, =tener éxito=. _How old are these children?_ =¿Qué edad tienen estos niños?= _The ribbon is two inches wide._ =La cinta tiene dos pulgadas de anchura.= (_d_) _To be at_ meaning _to attend_ is translated =asistir a=. _There were not many at the meeting last night._ =No asistían muchos a la reunión de anoche.= (_e_) _To be worth_ is translated =valer=. _To be worth while_ is =valer la pena=. _I don't know how much it is and it isn't worth while to ask._ =No sé cuanto vale y no vale la pena de preguntar.= =2.= =EXERCISES= (_a_) 1. Hacía tanto calor que no podíamos dormir aunque teníamos mucho sueño. 2. Ya no tenemos miedo de nada. 3. Dice que tiene mucho frío. 4. Nos preguntaron si teníamos hambre. 5.

Meaning _to question_ or _to inquire_ it is rendered =preguntar=. _"Are you asleep, Captain?" the widow asked, greatly alarmed._ =¿Duerme Vd., Capitán?--le preguntó muy alarmada la viuda.=--PEDRO DE ALARCÓN. _A girl came to the door asking for him._ =Vino a la puerta una muchacha preguntando por él.=--LOS QUINTERO. (_a_) _To ask for_, _beg_, is translated =pedir a=. _He had slipped into the kitchen to ask the cook for something to eat._ =Se había deslizado en la cocina para pedir algo que comer a la cocinera.=--BLASCO IBÁÑEZ. _Note._--With =pedir= the thing asked for is the direct object, the person of whom it is asked is the indirect, and is introduced by =a=. Cf. English, "We begged a dollar from father." (_b_) _To ask_ in the sense of _to request_ is rendered by =pedir= or =rogar=, the latter being the more formal. Both verbs require the subjunctive in the dependent verb. _I asked the children not to make so much noise._ =Pedí a los niños que no hiciesen tanto ruido.= _I asked Mr. Blanco to come and see me._ =Le rogué al señor Blanco que me viniese a ver (a visitar).= (_c_) _To ask_, _invite_ is rendered =convidar= or =invitar=. _They have asked us to dinner._ =Nos han convidado (invitado) a comer con ellos.= (_d_) _To ask questions_ is rendered =hacer preguntas=. _And finally he asked himself the same question, wondering that it had not occurred to him before._ =Y por fin se hizo la misma pregunta, extrañando que no se le hubiera ocurrido antes la idea.=--BLASCO IBÁÑEZ. =4.= English _for_ as a preposition is rendered by =para= or =por=. It is omitted before a non-emphatic personal pronoun object and after many verbs. _He bought it for me yesterday._ =Me lo compró ayer.= _He bought it for me_ (for my sake). =Lo compró por mí.=== _Wait for me._ =Espéreme.= _Ask for it._ =Pídalo.= _Look for them._ =Búsquelos.= (_a_) _For_ is rendered =para= when it expresses destination, purpose, use, future time, and to introduce a qualifying phrase. _This is the train for Madrid._ =Este es el tren para Madrid.= _She has enough money for her clothes._ =Tiene bastante dinero para sus vestidos (prendas de vestir).= _This is a machine for cutting leather._ =Ésta es una máquina para cortar cuero.= _I have an appointment for to-morrow._ =Tengo cita para mañana.= _She plays the piano well for her age._ =Toca el piano bien para su edad.= (_b_) Expressing exchange, cause, motive, or duration of time, _for_ is rendered =por=. _I gave him twenty-five dollars for his bicycle._ =Le dí veinticinco duros por su bicicleta.= _For months at a time we did not see him._ =Por meses enteros no le habíamos visto.= _They set fire to the house for fun._ =Por burla pegaron fuego a la casa.= _We could not see the house for the smoke._ =No podíamos ver la casa por el humo.= =5.= =EXERCISES= (_a_) 1.

LESSON III _Cada uno es como Dios le ha criado._[3] --PEDRO DE ALARCÓN. =6.= The verb _to have_ denoting possession is rendered =tener=. With auxiliary force it is =haber=. _I used to have it, but I have it no longer._ =Lo tenía sí, pero ya no lo tengo más.= _He says he has sold it, but I don't know who has bought it._ =Dice que lo ha vendido, pero no sé quien lo ha comprado.= (_a_) _To have_ meaning _to cause to be done_ or _made_, _let_, is rendered by =hacer= followed (1) by a direct infinitive, or (2) by =que= with the subjunctive of indirect command. _Have them get the trunks down at once._ =Hágales bajar los baúles en seguida= or =Haga Vd. que bajen los baúles.= _I like this book very much. I will have the children read it._ =Me gusta mucho este libro. Haré que lo lean los niños.= _He has had a new house built for his newly married daughter._ =Ha hecho construir una nueva casa para su hija recién casada.= (_b_) _To have to_ denoting necessity or compulsion is translated =tener que=, which is followed by the infinitive. _It is raining torrents.

Tendremos que quedarnos aquí hasta que deje de llover.= _I can't go with you because I have to study some lessons._ =No puedo acompañarle porque tengo que estudiar unas lecciones.= (_c_) _To have on_, _be wearing_, is rendered =tener puesto=, or by =llevar= or =vestir=. =Puesto= is an adjective and agrees in gender and number with the thing worn. _She has on a simple dress and over her shoulders a wide black lace scarf._ =Viste un traje sencillo y trae sobre los hombros un amplio velo negro de encaje.=--LOS QUINTERO. _They all had their hats on when they came out._ =Al salir todos tenían puestos los sombreros.= =7.= English _to be to_ expressing futurity coupled with a vague necessity is rendered =haber de= followed by the infinitive. _I have read in the papers that the president is to visit the city._ =He leído en los diarios que el presidente ha de visitar la ciudad.= _The teacher told us that we were to finish that lesson._ =El maestro nos dijo que hubiéramos de acabar aquella lección.= =8.= =EXERCISES= (_a_) 1.

LESSON IV _Puesto que todo pasa, gocémoslo todo mientras vive._[4] --MARTÍNEZ SIERRA. =9.= The English _since_ as a preposition is translated =desde=; as an adverb it is rendered =desde entonces= or =desde aquel tiempo=, literally, _since then_ and _since that time_. As a conjunction of time it is =desde que=, and as a conjunction of cause it is =ya que=, =puesto que=, or =visto que= (cf. English _seeing that_). _I have not seen him since yesterday._ =No le he visto desde ayer.= _He left the city last year and I have not seen him since._ =Partió de la ciudad el año pasado y no le he visto desde entonces.= _I have not seen him since he left the city._ =No le he visto desde que partió de la ciudad.= _I will speak to him once more since you desire it._ =Le hablaré una vez más ya que Vd. lo desea.=--LOS QUINTERO. =10.= The verb _to go_ is =ir= or =irse=, the reflexive form being used when _to be_ is not followed by a complementary infinitive or by a prepositional phrase denoting direction. _To go away_ may be translated =irse=, =marcharse=, or =partir=. _Now I am going to explain it to you._ =Ya se lo voy a explicar.= _I am going now. Do you want to go with me?_ =Ya me voy. ¿Quiere Vd. acompañarme?= _We are going to the country to spend a few days._ =Vamos al campo a pasar unos pocos días.= (_a_) _To go in_ or _into_, _up_, _down_, _through_, are translated =entrar= (=en=), =subir=, =bajar=, =pasar por=, the preposition being included in the meaning of the verb except that =en= and =por= are used with =entrar= and =pasar= when the object of the verb is expressed. _Did you go into the house? Yes, we went in. We also went upstairs and went through all the rooms._ =¿Entraron Vds. en la casa? Sí, entramos. También subimos la escalera y pasamos por todas las habitaciones.= (_b_) _To go out_ has two translations, =salir=, _to leave_, and =apagarse=, _to be extinguished_. _They have all gone out to take a walk._ =Todos han salido a dar un paseo.= _All of a sudden all the lights in the house went out._ =De repente se apagaron todas las luces en la casa.= (_c_) _To go on_, _continue_, is rendered =continuar= or =seguir=. _He went on talking as if he had not seen me._ =Siguió= (=continuó=) =hablando como si no me hubiera visto.= (_d_) _To go to bed_ is rendered =acostarse=; _to go to sleep_, =dormirse=. _I can't go to sleep when I go to bed so early._ =No puedo dormirme cuando me acuesto tan temprano.= Many other translations of _to go_ may be obtained by paraphrasing.

LESSON V _Mientras uno es joven, siempre hay esperanza de mejorar la fortuna._[5]--PALACIO VALDÉS. =12.= English _long_ is usually rendered =largo=, but in expressions of time it is often translated =mucho=. _This is the longest street in the city. We lived here for a long time._ =Esta es la calle más larga de la ciudad. Vivimos aquí por mucho tiempo.= _I have not seen them for a long time._ =No los he visto desde hace mucho tiempo.= _Note._--When a phrase expressing duration of time introduced by _for_ is equivalent to _since ... ago_, _for_ is translated =desde hace=. (_a_) The phrase _to be long_ (_in_), followed by a verbal in _-ing_, expressed or understood, is rendered =tardar= (=en=), followed by an infinitive expressed or understood. _Have patience! You will not be long in learning how to do it._ =¡Ten paciencia! No tardarás en aprender a hacerlo.= _You go now. I will follow.--All right, but don't be long._ =Vete ahora. Yo te seguiré.--Bueno, pero no tardes.= --PÉREZ GALDÓS.

LESSON VI _Ya ves que no hay que fiar de sueños._[6] --PALACIO VALDÉS. =16.= The English _to get_ has so many different translations in Spanish that it is always advisable to paraphrase it before translating. So: _I am going to get_ (buy) _some bread. We are going to get_ (fetch _or_ bring) _our books. He gets_ (receives) _his money here. The lion got out_ (escaped). _We got back_ (arrived, returned) _this morning. It gets_ (grows, becomes) _dark early._ In such examples as the last, however, the alternatives are also verbs that present some difficulty in translations: and many of the compounds of _get_ and a preposition must be learned literally. _He got_ (obtained) _what he wanted._ =Obtuvo lo que quería.= _There is no more sugar. I shall have to go and get some._ =No hay más azúcar. Tendré que ir a comprar más.= _Have you sent the boy to get the car?_ =¿Ha mandado usted al mozo a traer el automóvil?= _I get a letter from home every Tuesday._ =Recibo carta de casa todos los martes=. _There was a fire at the Zoölogical Gardens yesterday and a lion got out_ (away). =Hubo incendio en los jardines zoológicos ayer y se escapó un león.= (_a_) _To get_ meaning _to grow_ or _become_ is translated =ponerse= or =hacerse=, the former indicating a temporary change of state, the latter a more permanent one. _She gets very cross if she has to wait for us._ =Se pone muy enojada= (=enfadada=) =si tiene que esperarnos.= _He got rich quickly, but his methods couldn't be admired._ =Se hizo rico pronto, pero sus métodos no podían admirarse.= (_b_) _To get along with_, speaking of persons, may be rendered =entenderse con=, or =congeniar con=: when the object is a thing, the translation is =servirse de=. _To get along without_ is translated =pasarse sin=. _He doesn't get along very well with his oldest brother._ =No se entiende muy bien con su hermano mayor.= _I shall have to get along with this knife since there is no other._ =Tendré que servirme de este cuchillo puesto que no hay otro.= _I get along without a laundress now that my daughter is at home._ =Yo me paso sin lavandera ya que está en casa mi hija.= (_c_) _To get into_ and _out of_ vehicles are rendered =subir a= and =bajar de=. _They get out of one automobile and into another._ =Bajaron de un automóvil y subieron a otro.= (_d_) _To get out of the way_ may be rendered =apartarse del camino= or =quitarse de en medio=. _You know that to me she is always at home. Get out of the way!_ =Sabe Vd. que para mí siempre está. ¡Quítese de en medio!= --TOMAYO Y BAUS. (_e_) _To get up_, _rise_, is rendered =levantárse= or =ponerse de pie=. _I got up very, very early this morning._ =Esta mañana me levanté muy de madrugada.= _When the teacher spoke to the pupil the latter got up._ =Cuando habló el maestro al discípulo se puso de pie éste.= =17.= =EXERCISES= (_a_) 1.

LESSON XVI _Hacer bien a los villanos es echar agua en la mar_.[16] --CERVANTES. =45.= English _will_ as an auxiliary has two meanings. As denoting simple futurity it is in Spanish included in the future form of the verb. As a synonym of _to want to_, _will_ is translated by the present tense of the verb =querer=. _They will get here to-morrow and then I will tell them._ =Llegarán mañana y se lo diré entonces.= _I will tell it to as many as (all who) will listen to me._ =Lo diré a cuantos quieran oirme=.--TOMAYO Y BAUS. _Note._--In case of doubt substitute _is going to_ or _wants to_ for _will_. If the former keeps the sense, use the future tense; if the latter, use =querer=. (_a_) _Shall_, denoting simple futurity, is included in the future tense. _I shall not be able to come. Shall you be here?_ =Yo no podré venir. ¿Estará usted aquí?= Expressing determination on the part of the speaker, _shall_ must be translated by a clause or by =deber= with the infinitive. _You say he has stolen your bicycle? Well, he shall return it at once._ =¿Dice Vd. que se le ha robado su bicicleta? Pues, yo haré que se la devuelva en seguida=, or =debe devolverla=. =46=. The word _all_, commonly translated =todo=, has many different translations which should be learned in the phrases in which they occur. Of these the commonest are: _all at once_, _all of a sudden_, =de repente=; _all right_, =bueno=, =bien=, =está bien=; _all alone_, =solo=, =solito=; _first of all_, =en primer lugar=, =ante todo=; _not at all_, =de ningún modo=, =no hay de que= (an expression of courtesy in reply to the person who says _thank you_); _all over_ (_everywhere_), =por todas partes=. (_a_) _All that_ or _all the ... that_ may be translated literally =todo lo que= or =todos los ...= but they are frequently rendered by =cuanto= and =cuantos=. _Up to now I did all that was in my power for you._ =Hasta ahora hice cuanto estaba en mis manos por vosotros.= --PALACIO VALDÉS. _I have at my disposal all the money that I may need._ =Tengo a mi disposición cuanto dinero pueda necesitar.= --PÉREZ GALDÓS. _I am very much obliged to you. Not at all, sir, not at all._ =Le estoy muy agradecido a usted.

LESSON XVII _Es difícil salvar a quien no quiere salvarse de ningún modo._[17] --BENAVENTE. =48.= The word _way_ meaning _road_ is translated =camino=; meaning _manner_ or _mode_ it is rendered =manera= or =modo=. _Our sailor was on the way to become rich._ =Nuestro marinero estaba en camino de hacerse rico.= --PALACIO VALDÉS. _Don't talk to me in that way if you don't want to make me cry._ =No me hables de este modo si no quieres hacerme llorar.= --TOMAYO Y BAUS.

When strongly demonstrative _this way_ and _that way_ are rendered =así=, _thus_: _Do you want me to do it this way or that way?_ =¿Quiere usted que yo lo haga así o así?= (_b_) _My way_, _your way_, etc., meaning _as I do it_, _as you do it_, are rendered =como lo hago yo=, =como lo hace usted=, etc. _To do it your way I should need more time._ =Para hacerlo como lo hace usted yo necesitaría más tiempo.= (_c_) To have one's own way is translated =hacer su voluntad= or =hacer como quiere uno=. _You don't want to do it? Well, have your own way._ =¿No quieres hacerlo? Bueno, haz tu voluntad.= _They spoil her by letting her have her own way all the time._ =La miman dejándola hacer como quiere todo el tiempo.= =49.= The adjective _hard_ is rendered =duro= when it means _not soft_; =difícil=, when it means _not easy_. As an adverb meaning _vigorously_, _energetically_, _diligently_, it should be rendered by the Spanish adverb that fits best in the sentence. So, _to study hard_ (diligently); _to blow hard_ (strongly); _to work hard_ (diligently _or_ much); _to think hard_ (deeply, intently). _This bread is so hard that it is hard to cut it._ =Este pan es tan duro que es difícil cortarlo.= _The wind blew hard all night._ =El viento sopló fuertemente toda la noche.= _You will have to study harder if you want to pass._ =Tendrá Vd. que estudiar más diligentemente si quiere ser promovido.= _He has had to work hard all his life._ =Ha tenido que trabajar mucho toda la vida.= =50.= The verb _to give_ is generally =dar=, but it has many idiomatic translations.

LESSON XVIII _Yo nunca tengo miedo cuando hago lo que debo._[18] --ECHEGARAY. =52.= The verb _to think_ in the sense of _to reflect_ or _intend_ is =pensar= (=en=). As a synonym of _to believe_ it is =creer=. Where _it seems to me_, _to him_, etc., may be substituted for _I think_, _he thinks_, etc., the verb =parecer= in the third person is used, the English subject becoming the Spanish indirect object. _You will not think of returning to Salamanca to-day._ =Usted no pensará en regresar a Salamanca hoy.= --RAMOS CARRIÓN. _Do you think I didn't understand?_ =¿Cree usted que yo no lo he comprendido?= --JOSÉ MARMÓL. _Sir, I think you have dropped something._ =Caballero, me parece que se le ha caído algo.= --EMILIA PARDO BAZÁN. =53.= The verb _to make_ in its simplest use is rendered =hacer=. It has, however, a very large number of idiomatic uses that call for other translations. Of these, some of the commonest are: _to make haste_, =darse prisa=; _to make fun of_, =burlarse de=, =mofárse de=; _to make the acquaintance of_, =conocer=; _to make up one's mind_, =decidirse=, =resolverse=, or, in the perfect tenses, =tener determinado=. _The machinery was making so much noise that we could not hear what he said._ =Hacía tanto ruido la maquinaria que no podíamos oír lo que dijo.= _Make haste if you don't want to be late._ =Dese prisa si no quiere llegar con retraso.= _I have come exclusively to make the acquaintance of this young lady._ =He venido exclusivamente por conocer a esta señorita.= --PÉREZ GALDÓS. _Her brothers, on the other hand, made fun of her._ =Sus hermanos en cambio se burlaban de ella.= --BENAVENTE. _When he makes up his mind to do something he does it, and now he has made up his mind not to keep on helping them._ =Cuando se resuelve= (=decide=) =a hacer algo lo hace, y ya tiene determinado que no seguirá amparándolos.= (_a_) _To make up for_ may mean _recuperate_, _compensate_, or _recompense_, and in these senses is translated by the cognate verbs =recuperar=, =compensar=, =recompensar=. _The money that he has just received from his father will make up for his losses._ =El dinero que acaba de recibir de su padre le compensará por lo perdido.= _I'm sorry I forgot to tell you.

In Spanish this is not so common, emphasis being more generally expressed by the use of some emphatic word with the word to be emphasized. Such words are =¡vaya!=, =¡toma!=, =¡mira!=, =sí, sí=. _Let money talk, I said. And it did talk._ =Hable el dinero, dije. ¡Y toma si habló!= --MARIANO JOSÉ DE LARRA. _Nobody knows it, nobody!

When emphasized, they must be expressed. _I'll help you if I have time._ =Te ayudaré si tengo el tiempo.= _I would help you if I had time._ =Yo te ayudaría si tuviera el tiempo.= In the objective case these pronouns are emphasized by adding the disjunctive, or prepositional, form of the pronoun to the sentence. _You may say all you want to to me, but don't insult him._ =A mí puede Vd. decirme cuanto quiera, pero no le ofenda a él.= --PÉREZ GALDÓS.

Equivalent expressions in the negative form are =¡de ningún modó!=, =¡no, por cierto!= _He's coming at once, isn't he? Yes, indeed_ (_certainly_; _why, of course_). =Viene en seguida, ¿no? ¡Ya lo creo!=--ECHEGARAY. _He's coming with us, isn't he? No, indeed._ =Va a acompañarnos a nosotros, ¿no?

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™ Project Gutenberg™ 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™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ 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™ 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.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread 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™ electronic works Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg™ 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 website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org. This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, 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.
