ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM EBOOKS

This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBook, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBooks,

is a “public domain” work distributed by Professor Michael S. Hart

through the Project Gutenberg Association (the “Project”).

Among other things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright

below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this eBook

under the “PROJECT GUTENBERG” trademark.

 

Please do not use the “PROJECT GUTENBERG” trademark to market

To create these eBooks, the Project expends considerable

efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain

works. Despite these efforts, the Project’s eBooks and any

medium they may be on may contain “Defects”. Among other

things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or

corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other

intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged

disk or other eBook medium, a computer virus, or computer

codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
