DEDICATION, 1911

TO THE MERRY


    "Wisdom may not be confined
      'Twixt covers of the dictionary,
    Neither will it be defined;
      Learning, you may quickly bury;
    Wisdom--Soul and Life combined combined--
      Lingers ever with the merry."

DEDICATION, 1905

TO THE WORLD AT LARGE


    This Little Book of Wisdom Great
    It pleases us to dedicate
    To that Rampageous Reprobate--
          The World at Large.
    Yet as we mark his Stony Phiz
    And see him whoop and whirl and whiz,
    We can but cry--O Lord, why _is_
          The World at Large!
                      OLIVER HERFORD.

DEDICATION, 1907


    To Foolish-wise and Wisely-gay
    Of whate'er country they may be,
    We dedicate this little gem
    By Ollie, Addison and Me,
    In hopes they'll buy in massive lots
    And help us boil our little pots.
                                   (T)

DEDICATION, 1908


    Reader--would you a Cynic be?
      Vindictive--Vitriolic?
    Then be one in your Infancy--
      Your Nurse will think it's Colic.

    Like Measles take it while you're young,
      'Twill drive your parents frantic,
    But you'll grow up, (if still unhung)
      An Optimist Romantic.
                                      (H)

DEDICATION, 1909


    Then here's to those who love the Stars
    And diligently tea them,
    And here's to all Ambitious Souls
    Who strongly strive to be them;
    But most to those Discerning Ones
    Who know Stars when they see them.

"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or

property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a

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 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.

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

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

Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as 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:

     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.
