.:: HOW TO GET EBOOKS FROM PROJECT GUTENBERG ::.
The easiest way to obtain our eBooks is at our search page at
http://gutenberg.net/find.shtml
which allows searching by title, author or eBook number; there is also
an Advanced Search page which allows for additional search criteria
(note that our newer postings may not yet be indexed for all additional
criteria).
And please note: you can now obtain a listing by language at the above
link.
Mirrors (copies) of the complete collection are available around the
world, and you can select one nearer to your location from the link on
the search results page.
To see a listing of mirror sites, and locate the one nearest to you,
visit:
http://gutenberg.net/list.shtml
EBooks numbered 1 to 10000 are located in "release year" directories.
Over time, the "release year" advanced, so that by November 2003 the
release year was 2006. Starting with eBook #10001, they are filed by
their official eBook number, with a unique subdirectory based on that
eBook number.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED GREATER THAN 10000
To get to a directory listing you can use either:
http://gutenberg.net/1/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/
Then navigate down through the subdirectories until you get to the
appropriate level, and then select the file you wish to download,
using your usual download procedures. This system works on mirrors,
too, and will hold all eBooks starting with the number "1" for
10,000 and beyond.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED 1 THROUGH 10000:
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download site
(or a mirror) if you know the filename and year you want. For example,
navigate to either:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
and then look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that
updated eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99,
etext00, etc.)

Project Gutenberg 'Best of' CD revisited
Last August, thanks in large part to the efforts of Daniel Callahan,
Project Gutenberg released a "best of" CD. This disc has been copied and
given away to hundreds of people. For many readers, it was their first
exposure to the Project, and it is unquestionably an introduction of which
we can be proud. However, the project continues to grow and the selection
of books continues to improve, and so naturally the Best of Project
Gutenberg CD needs to be improved as well.
If there are any books which you would like to see added to, or removed
from the next release of the CD, please E-mail the title and author to
Aaron Cannon <cannona AT fireantproductions.com>. Don't be afraid to suggest
a large number of books, because even if your requests don't fit, they will
likely be used when a second volume is created. Also, if you have
suggestions on how the layout can be improved, please don't hesitate to
send that information along as well.

CD.

Distributed Proofreaders Update
So how has 2004 been for you, so far? It is hard to believe that New
Year's eve was more than a month ago, but here we are two steps into
February. For the record, I like this year. It has an expressively
expansive quality to it--exciting but with a clearly intentional
creativity. Sometimes a new year starts off at a slow pace. The
weeks following the holidays find many people a little disoriented and
often in need of well earned recuperation. This is not one of those years.
January left the gate like Sea Biscuit and never looked back or seemed
to recognize anything to its side. As if to herald the pace of the
year ahead, one of the first moves of the new month was to seal the
count on another 1,000 completed book projects. Sound familiar? It
should. In January, DP put the finishing touches on the 3,000th text,
which as reported to that time was 'The Anatomy of Melancholy.' I
emphasize this item again today, looking back at January, because it
deserves attention within the larger context of DP's accelerating
development and efficiency. It was only last September that DP
celebrated the 2,000th Gold text. It took three years to achieve that
accomplishment. In a little over three months that followed, half that
number again was delivered to PG. At the present pace--nearly 3,175
complete at present--it is clear that the pace of production is
sustaining. Near to the Ides of March, DP will complete the 4,000th
project.
What January has revealed, to those who are tuned in to such things,
is that DP hassecured a stabilized production model that delivers the
goods. If you were watching closely through 2003, then you are
familiar with the many growing pains and trials the project passed
through on the way to this plateau. Granted, it takes a little bit of
objectivity to appreciate the vista of events which prove this
conclusion. If you step back a few paces you will recognize the
evidence soon enough.
Perhaps the biggest news event of January is the implementation of the
Distributed Proofreaders code base by a respected network of
international archives, known now and hereafter as DPEU. It is
justified that this significant and historic development is well
celebrated and we will do just this a little later. In truth though,
the initiation of the DPEU's pre and public test phases augments the
ongoing enlargement and enhancement of DP it does not define it. The
embrace of the DP model magnifies the validity of the past year's
decisions and the overall course set in place by Charles and DP
administrators. All the more worthy of 2004's initial promise is the
manner in which DPEU has not simply utilized the existing code and
model, but with wide open arms welcomed the DP community into their
own. Each day that passes reveals more the exciting path which awaits
us all up ahead. And if you will allow me to quote Rick Blaine, "I
think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
While the spotlight was upon the European camp as it mustered forces
and set up the perimeters, many developments were unfolding back at
the home foundry. As much of this activity has been taking place
behind the scenery, you may be wondering "what activity?" Well, that's
why they pay me 12 year Scotch here, to keep you 'up on the latest and
tastiest.' The initiatives employed in January and carrying on into
this month will have profound influence upon the year ahead and for
this reason alone you should be aware of them if you plan on sticking
around for the mid-term future.
Does anyone remember the California conference all the way back there
in December? This was no mere social gathering, but a well planed
coordination of some of the most prominent minds working towards the
enrichment of the public domain on and off the Internet. Nor was this
a singular event. This was the first of what will be many and regular
such conferences. The California meet produced a bounty of benefits to
DP, some of these began cooking away even before everyone returned
home from the conference and continue to do so. Other plans and
initiatives have begun to be implemented and will become more and more
evident with te passing of time.
To frame these roughly, I will set them into three tiers: 1) Network
Architecture 2) Administration & Community 3) Production enhancement.
Time and space does not allow me to go into great depth, so I will
explain briefly what these are. If I am worth my measure their
significance to the course of DP through 2004 shall be self
evident. The network architecture is pretty much that; an enhanced
edifice for DP to live and work within. A new and independent server
will soon house the entire structure of the site, with the exception
of archival material. The primary reason for this is allow more
personal and immediate management of the heart and soul of the
machine, so to speak. As the actual moves draws closer we will take a
deeper look into the significance of this step and how it benefits the
future growth of DP.
The administration and community is actually the body of Distributed
Proofreaders. Without these two essential components we would be
little more than a loosely organized endeavor towards a good
cause. The awareness of this truth has been the motivation for an
extensive process of careful planning, dedicated effort and thoughtful
consideration and selection. The building of community within DP
began with earnest sometime last summer. We have all seen the result
of this over the past several months, and we have each felt its value
in our hearts. This is not an effort that can be invested once and
sustained indefinitely, nor is it a labor that can be entrusted to any
group of individuals. Community building and growth is an ongoing
process, which is only ever enriched and enhanced by the participation
and care of the many, not the few. There are enough of us who having
experienced the worth of what DP's community offers, will not let this
effort falter. Over the past month I have been working with a wide
range of participants from all corners of DP to discuss areas of
future development and inclusion into the cultural landscape being
defined by the journey of this project. Stay tuned to future columns
and forum posts as these exchanges take on more concrete forms.
A healthy community like a healthy project stays that way through the
attentive and loyal work of a core team of people willing to take on
the responsibility of direction and administration. Adding to this
team is an important and well weighed process. For the most of us,
coming to DP is an option. If we feel like dropping off the site for
an extended length of time, we do. After all, it is a volunteer
endeavor. To 'step up' and accept one of the caretaking roles of the
project requires a greater level of commitment than most of us are
willing to take on. From the other side of the process, there is the
challenge of presenting the offer to members. If someone feels that
such is role is not desirable for any reason, you don't want them to
feel any different about the project because they are quite
comfortable contributing as they presently do.
Every page proofed counts at DP. "Preserving History One Page at a
Time" is far more than a catch slogan. From my perspective, which I
have heard echoed by many others, a big part of what makes DP so
important to our age is the openness for an individual to participate
an do something that really matters--even if all they have to spare
are are a few free minutes in a day or week. A larger role in the
daily workings of DP is not for everyone, nor should it be. At the
same time, there is something very special that needs to be said for
and about those who make that commitment to become part of a steady
and sustaining tier of guidance on this project. The promise of future
growth would remain just that, a promise, without an expanded team to
see to the care of its fulfillment.
Through January we witnessed the definition of roles which have long
existed without name yet with great respect for a long time. While
there are thousands of us who proof, a few dozen who manage projects
and a few dozen more who work in post processing, there are but a rare
and special number working in that crucial stage between a completed
text at DP and a posted text at PG. It is quite hard to express in
word the esteem and affection many of us in the PG/DP community hold
for Tonya and David. As wordy as you all know I am, this column will
not be expanded by my efforts to succeed at such an expression. Titles
may not do justice to the depth of their contribution either, but they
are still denoted with a great respect. Post Processing & Verification
Coordinator is a challenge to fit on a door plaque, but a full name
for a full role was essential.
If you have been active in the forums recently, you may have by now
recognized that DP has a new Site Administrator these past weeks;
Pourlean. Now I know she has been testing her wings so far, but as an
supporter for a long time, I am putting a deserved spotlight where it
belongs, on one of DPs hidden assets. My faith in DP's future is
greatly strengthened with such dedicated hands added to the helm.
This brings us to the other important enhancement to DP's management,
the creation of an entirely new branch of navigators. To allow the
Site Administrators more freedom to focus upon ... well
administration, a new role has been created to manage the many and
varied needs of active texts; the Project Facilitators. The work of
the PFs is to assist and expand the powers and labors of the Project
Managers and where need to liaison between proofers and post
processors to assure a greater quality and expediency to the entire
on-site production process. Stepping up to the task of right at the
start are four well known and adored (certainly adored by me) members
of the DP regulars; DMKazoo, Francisca, Papeters and VelkVelk.
Congratulations to the new administrative branch of DP! ... and also
to you Big Bill, I envy you...up there like Apollo on Helicon
surrounded by so many Muses.
Finally then, the third initiative, presently underway, the production
enhancement.We are just weeks away from the open test phase of a new
code foundation, perhaps one of the grandest yet. While I cannot
reveal the details just yet, I can assure you that possibilities for
innovation and extended utility have been well planned and
addressed. The actual coordination for the test phase is closely
associated with the implementation of the new server structure for
DP. The underlying strategy to all of the current initiatives is well
planned coordination. The ground has been secured, the intended
structure mapped out, a well exercised and dedicated set of teams are
in place. From here on out across 2004 what we are going to witness is
steady and impressive growth. You have been a part of this venture
until now, helping to make this very day possible ... stay then, and
help assure the reality of a truly wondrous future.
Speaking of that wondrous future, let's take at the happenings on the
outskirts of the DP Empire, over in Europe. It was just around the
middle of January that an announcement appeared in the forums,
inviting experienced members to sign up over at a whole new, but
different DP to participate in a vigorous pre-test phase of site
establishment and de-bugging. Little by little with each passing day,
more and curious veterans made the pilgrimage. Within a week's time
the results of this collaboration lead DPEU's directors to declare the
project ready for public testing. Today, the idea of archives
associated with, yet distinct of PG utilizing the DP system full scale
is a reality, and an impressive one.
The utilization of the DP code by Project Rastko' alliance of library
archives has illuminated the ground of future possibilities for
expansive implementation. Through the next three weeks of the public
test phase the atmosphere across both sites is certain to be charged
with ideas and inspirations. Having had close involvement with the
initial test phase, what stays with me constantly is a resurgence of
that exciting and kinetic perception of the Web back when Mosaic first
appeared, and all things seemed possible. I can state that I am not at
all alone in this experience. Over the weeks and months ahead, I
believe very strongly that we are going to witness a wide revival of
those idealistic and creatively charged days throughout both sites...
and where better for this spirit of our age to rise again on-line than
within communities allied to Project Gutenberg?
Over 200 members have signed up to help establish DPEU and work out
all the bugs and bumps during the test phase. And these are no mere
onlookers. Long standing members of the Rastko community of archives
side by side with the most prominent figures of Distributed
Proofreaders have rolled up their sleeves and given a strong and
dedicated effort to see that everything comes together for the
best. In the words of Project Rastko's president, Zoran Stefanovic,
"This achievement is far advanced of our initial plans and well above
our highest expectations."
One of the key features incorporated into the DPEU test phase is the
ability to work with texts in the UTF8 character set. This is
essential for the realizing of producing texts in the range of
language groups that the Rastko archives will be processing though
DPEU. Here, to my eyes is the most exciting event to witness each day,
as the projects stands more and more upon its legs; the varied array
of languages entering and moving through the proofing rounds.
The localization of the system is another wonder to watch come to
life.. The personal page, proofing interface and forums are being
translated into Bulgarian, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German,
Italian, Macedonian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Serbian, Spanish,
Swedish, and Ukrainian. Over 40 projects from amongst these languages
are within the system. Some of them are already ready for posting to
PG. The total pages proofed so far is nearing 10,000 ("Ten times more
than expected.")
As the testing period commences I will be participating and staying
close with the directors of the project. Stay close to the newsletter
for all the latest news ... or if you want more--and I hope you do, or
I am falling down on the job--then sign up at http://dp.rastko.net/
is you have not already and be a part of the beginning of something
historic within your own time.
So that was January. As you can see now, the shape of the remaining
months of '04 have already been outlined by these initial
developments. And if you wonder, what might be happening to the 'bread
and butter' work of DP while all this is going on, do not give it
another thought. January was also the most productive proofing month
in DP's history. In the first 31 days of the year, we proofed 224,230
pages together.
Fasten your seat belts, everyone! This ride's just gettin' under way.
Stay then, on into this exciting year, and give from the yearnings of your heart!
The best in ourselves for the world!
The best in the world for ourselves!
Until next week...

3) Notes and Queries, Reviews and Features
Pg A to Z
This week - 'Y'
The second stop on our A to Z journey finds us wandering around the
jungle that is Y. Authors for Y include Yan Zhitui with seven volumes
of Yan Shi Jia Xun written in Chinese. A great many volumes by
W. B. Yeats, see below for more information. Other authors to mention
include C.H. Yarrow, with An Introduction to the mortuary customs of
the North American Indians; Charles Duke and Charlotte Mary Yonge who
between them have 50 books in the Project Gutenberg library. We also
have Filson Young's eight volumes about Christopher Columbus'
discoveries.
In the world of book titles we have many volumes written with
children in mind. Young Canada's Nursery Rhymes; Young Folks' History
Of England; Youth: Its Education, Regimen, and Hygiene to name but
three. Particularly appealing to myself are three volumes about the
countryside just outside my front door: Yorkshire and Yorkshire Coast
& Moorland Scenes by Gordon Home, and Yorkshire Dialect Poems
(1673-1915) and traditional poems by F. W. Moorman.
Also, under 'Y' we have another example of the diversification of
Project Gutenberg - Yiddish. So far we are limited to one audio file:
I. J. Hochman's Yiddisher Orchester, Mazel Tov; so here we include a
note from Keren Vergon - "I have several things I'd like to put
through. My guess is that within the next year I'll have 10-15 books
in Yiddish and as many or more in Hebrew put through DP. At least
that's my goal. I'd love to link up with other PG or DPers who have an
interest in Yiddish and/or Hebrew. There's lots of great stuff out
there waiting for PG; but to go ahead and proof them is a little
difficult if we don't have folks to PP them. It would be great to
gather a team together so that we would know we have a few proofers
and PPers ready to go when DP goes live with UTF8.(See Thierry's post
above for more details)". If you want to contact Keren about helping
with this project, please email: tvergon AT tampabay .rr .com
And finally, Y is for YOU, the volunteer without whom this project
wouldn't be what it is.
W. B. Yeats
William Butler Yeats (1865 - 1939).
Irish poet, dramatist and prose writer, considered to be one of the
greatest English-language poets of the 20th century. Yeats received
the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923 (You can find out more about
this at Project Gutenberg of Australia). In his early career Yeats
studied William Blake's poems, Emanuel Swedenborg's writings and other
visionaries. Later he expressed his disillusionment with the reality
of his native country. A central theme in Yeats's poems is Ireland,
its bitter history, folklore, and contemporary public life.
William Butler Yeats was born in Dublin into an Irish Protestant
family. His early years were spent in London and Sligo, on the west
coast of Ireland. In 1881 the family returned to Dublin. While
studying at the Metropolitan School of Art, Yeats met George
Russell. He was interested in mysticism, and his search inspired also
Yeats. In 1886 Yeats formed the Dublin Lodge of the Hermetic Society
and took the magical name Daemon est Deus Inversus. The occult order
also attracted Aleister Crowley.
As a writer Yeats made his debut in 1885, when he published his first
poems in The Dublin University Review. In 1889 Yeats met his great
love, Maud Gonne (1866-1953), an an actress and Irish revolutionary
who became a major landmark in the poets life and imagination. She
married Major John MacBride in 1903, and this episode inspired Yeats's
poem 'No Second Troy'. MacBride was later executed by the British.
Through Maud's influence Yeats joined the revolutionary organization
Irish Republican Brotherhood. Maud had devoted herself to political
struggle but Keats viewed with suspicion her world full of
intrigues. He was more interested in folktales as a part of an
exploration of national heritage and for the revival of Celtic
identity. His study with George Russell and Douglas Hyde of Irish
legends and tales was published in 1888 under the name Fairy and Folk
Tales of the Irish Peasantry. Yeats assembled for children a less
detailed version, IRIS FAIRY TALES, which appeared in 1892. THE
WANDERINGS OF OISIN AND OTHER POEMS (1889), filled with sad longings,
took its subject from Irish mythology.
In 1896 Yeats reformed the Irish Literary Society, and then the
National Literary Society in Dublin, which aimed to promote the New
Irish Library. Lady Gregory first saw W.B. Yeats in 1894 .Their
relationship started in 1897 and led to the founding of the Irish
Literary Theatre, which became the Irish National Theatre Society and
moved in 1904 into the new Abbey Theatre, named after the Dublin
street in which it stood. Yeats worked as a director of the theater,
writing several plays for it. Another director was the dramatist John
Synge (1871-1909), Yeats's close friend, whose masterpiece The Playboy
of the Western World (1907) was greeted with riots. Yeats's most
famous dramas were CATHLEEN NI HOULIHAN (1902), in which Maud Gonne
gained great acclaim in the title role, and THE LAND OF HEART'S DESIRE
(1894). Yeats did not have in the beginning much confidence in Lady
Gregory's literary skills, but after seeing her translation of the
ancient Irish Cuchulain sagas he changed his mind. Cathleen ni
Houlihan has been cretied to Yeats but now it is considered to be
written by Lady Gregory.
In 1917, he married Georgie Hyde-Lee, who was 26. Although Keats first
had his doubts, the marriage was happy and they had two
children. During their honeymoon Yeats's wife demonstrated her gift
for automatic writing. Their collaborative notebooks formed the basis
of A VISION (1925), a book of marriage therapy spiced with
occultism. A change from suggestive, beautiful lyricism toward the
spare and tragic bitterness was marked in Yeats poem 'September 1913'
in which he stated: "Romantic Ireland's dead and gone."
In 1932 Yeats founded the Irish Academy of Letters and in 1933 he was
briefly involved with the fascist Blueshirts in Dublin. In his final
years Yeats worked on the last version of A VISION, which attempted to
present a theory of the variation of human personality, and published
THE OXFORD BOOK OF VERSE (1936) and NEW POEMS (1938). Yeats died in
1939 at the H�tel Id�al S�jour, in Menton, France.

.:: HOW TO GET EBOOKS FROM PROJECT GUTENBERG ::.
The easiest way to obtain our eBooks is at our search page at
http://gutenberg.net/find.shtml
which allows searching by title, author or eBook number; there is also
an Advanced Search page which allows for additional search criteria
(note that our newer postings may not yet be indexed for all additional
criteria).
And please note: you can now obtain a listing by language at the above
link.
Mirrors (copies) of the complete collection are available around the
world, and you can select one nearer to your location from the link on
the search results page.
To see a listing of mirror sites, and locate the one nearest to you,
visit:
http://gutenberg.net/list.shtml
EBooks numbered 1 to 10000 are located in "release year" directories.
Over time, the "release year" advanced, so that by November 2003 the
release year was 2006. Starting with eBook #10001, they are filed by
their official eBook number, with a unique subdirectory based on that
eBook number.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED GREATER THAN 10000
To get to a directory listing you can use either:
http://gutenberg.net/1/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/
. . .navigate down through the subdirectories until you get to the
appropriate level, and then select the file you wish to download,
using your usual download procedures. This system works on mirrors,
too, and will hold all eBooks starting with the number "1" for
10,000 and beyond.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED 1 THROUGH 10000:
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download site (or
a mirror) if you know the filename and year you want. For example:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
and look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that updated
eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99, etext00, etc.)

172 years ago, on 27 Jan 1832, in Daresbury, Cheshire, England, Lewis Carroll
(Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) was born. In celebration of that event, herewith
a passage from "Alice in Wonderland", Project Gutenberg eBook #11, which, if
you've read this far, may or may not be relevant:
'But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: 'we're all mad here.
I'm mad. You're mad.'
'How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
'You must be,' said the Cat, 'or you wouldn't have come here.'

.:: HOW TO GET EBOOKS FROM PROJECT GUTENBERG ::.
The easiest way to obtain our eBooks is at our search page at
http://gutenberg.net/find.shtml
which allows searching by title, author or eBook number; there is also
an Advanced Search page which allows for additional search criteria
(note that our newer postings may not yet be indexed for all additional
criteria).
And please note: you can now obtain a listing by language at the above
link.
Mirrors (copies) of the complete collection are available around the
world, and you can select one nearer to your location from the link on
the search results page.
To see a listing of mirror sites, and locate the one nearest to you,
visit:
http://gutenberg.net/list.shtml
EBooks numbered 1 to 10000 are located in "release year" directories.
Over time, the "release year" advanced, so that by November 2003 the
release year was 2006. Starting with eBook #10001, they are filed by
their official eBook number, with a unique subdirectory based on that
eBook number.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED GREATER THAN 10000
To get to a directory listing you can use either:
http://gutenberg.net/1/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/
Then navigate down through the subdirectories until you get to the
appropriate level, and then select the file you wish to download,
using your usual download procedures. This system works on mirrors,
too, and will hold all eBooks starting with the number "1" for
10,000 and beyond.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED 1 THROUGH 10000:
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download site
(or a mirror) if you know the filename and year you want. For example,
navigate to either:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
and then look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that
updated eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99,
etext00, etc.)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

=============================================================================
This week can't pass without mentioning the anniversary of the publication of
"Ulysses" (eBook #4300), by James Joyce, on 2 February 1922; that date also
marked his 40th birthday. But this week's tagline will be a quote from his
wife, Nora Joyce:
"Why don't you write books people can read?"
Other works by this author in the Project Gutenberg collection include #4217
"A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man"; #2817 "Chamber Music"; and #2814
"Dubliners". Wherein may lie a clue as to the accuracy of Nora's remark.
And we shouldn't forget the anniversary of the death of Johannes Gensfleisch
zur Laden zum Gutenberg, some 537 years ago on 3 Feb 1468 (1467?). Without
whom we'd have to find a different name for this project!The Project Gutenberg Weekly Newsletter February 5, 2004

Part 2 of the Project Gutenberg Weekly Newsletter:

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT FILENAMES: Due to recent security concerns, some
mail servers are still deleting email messages that contain the name of
a certain popular file compression program as the filename extension.
That three-letter word begins with the letter "z". In order to
circumvent this problem, as a temporary measure, we are replacing that
extension with ".zip" in the listings below. We hope to have a
permanent solution in the next couple of weeks. Thank you for your
patience.

.:: HOW TO GET EBOOKS FROM PROJECT GUTENBERG ::.
The easiest way to obtain our eBooks is at our search page at
http://gutenberg.net/find.shtml
which allows searching by title, author or eBook number; there is also
an Advanced Search page which allows for additional search criteria
(note that our newer postings may not yet be indexed for all additional
criteria).
And please note: you can now obtain a listing by language at the above
link.
Mirrors (copies) of the complete collection are available around the
world, and you can select one nearer to your location from the link on
the search results page.
To see a listing of mirror sites, and locate the one nearest to you,
visit:
http://gutenberg.net/list.shtml
EBooks numbered 1 to 10000 are located in "release year" directories.
Over time, the "release year" advanced, so that by November 2003 the
release year was 2006. Starting with eBook #10001, they are filed by
their official eBook number, with a unique subdirectory based on that
eBook number.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED GREATER THAN 10000
To get to a directory listing you can use either:
http://gutenberg.net/1/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/
Then navigate down through the subdirectories until you get to the
appropriate level, and then select the file you wish to download,
using your usual download procedures. This system works on mirrors,
too, and will hold all eBooks starting with the number "1" for
10,000 and beyond.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED 1 THROUGH 10000:
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download site
(or a mirror) if you know the filename and year you want. For example,
navigate to either:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
and then look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that
updated eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99,
etext00, etc.)

This week can't pass without mentioning the anniversary of the publication of
"Ulysses" (eBook #4300), by James Joyce, on 2 February 1922; that date also
marked his 40th birthday. But this week's tagline will be a quote from his
wife, Nora Joyce:
"Why don't you write books people can read?"
Other works by this author in the Project Gutenberg collection include #4217
"A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man"; #2817 "Chamber Music"; and #2814
"Dubliners". Wherein may lie a clue as to the accuracy of Nora's remark.
And we shouldn't forget the anniversary of the death of Johannes Gensfleisch
zur Laden zum Gutenberg, some 537 years ago on 3 Feb 1468 (1467?). Without
whom we'd have to find a different name for this project!

.:: HOW TO GET EBOOKS FROM PROJECT GUTENBERG ::.
The easiest way to obtain our eBooks is at our search page at
http://gutenberg.net/find.shtml
which allows searching by title, author or eBook number; there is also
an Advanced Search page which allows for additional search criteria
(note that our newer postings may not yet be indexed for all additional
criteria).
And please note: you can now obtain a listing by language at the above
link.
Mirrors (copies) of the complete collection are available around the
world, and you can select one nearer to your location from the link on
the search results page.
To see a listing of mirror sites, and locate the one nearest to you,
visit:
http://gutenberg.net/list.shtml
EBooks numbered 1 to 10000 are located in "release year" directories. Over
time, the "release year" advanced, so that by November 2003 the release year
was 2006. Starting with eBook #10001, they are filed by their official eBook
number, with a unique subdirectory based on that eBook number.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED GREATER THAN 10000
To get to a directory listing you can use either:
http://gutenberg.net/1/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/
. . .navigate down through the subdirectories until you get to the
appropriate level, and then select the file you wish to download,
using your usual download procedures. This system works on mirrors,
too, and will hold all eBooks starting with the number "1" for
10,000 and beyond.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED 1 THROUGH 10000:
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download site (or
a mirror) if you know the filename and year you want. For example:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
and look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that updated
eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99, etext00, etc.)

=============================================================================
172 years ago, on 27 Jan 1832, in Daresbury, Cheshire, England, Lewis Carroll
(Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) was born. In celebration of that event, herewith
a passage from "Alice in Wonderland", Project Gutenberg eBook #11, which, if
you've read this far, may or may not be relevant:
'But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: 'we're all mad here.
I'm mad. You're mad.'
'How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
'You must be,' said the Cat, 'or you wouldn't have come here.'

============= [ SUBMIT A NEW EBOOK FOR COPYRIGHT CLEARANCE ]==============
If you have a book you would like to confirm is in the public domain in
the US, and therefore suitable for Project Gutenberg, please do the
following:
1. Check whether we have the eBook already. Look in
http://gutenberg.net/GUTINDEX.ALL
which is updated weekly. (The searchable catalog at
http://www.gutenberg.net lags behind by several months)
2. Check the "in progress" list to see whether someone is already
working on the eBook. Sometimes, books are listed as in progress for
years - if so, email David Price (his address is on the list) to ask
for contact information for the person working on the book. The "in
progress" list:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
3. If the book seems to be a good candidate (pre-1923 publication
date, or 1923-1988 published in the US without a copyright notice),
submit scans of the title page and verso page (even if the verso is
blank) to:
http://beryl.ils.unc.edu/copy.html
You'll hear back within a few days.
2) News and Comment
Major news this week
Distributed Proofreaders Europe goes live for full public testing
http://dp.rastko.net/default.php
The official public testing of Distributed Proofreaders Europe began
yesterday, with over one hundred proofers joining during their recent
testing period, a little life is buzzing into DP-EU. If you haven't
made it over there yet, we really recommend it.
A 'To-Do' List
If you're looking for classics to work on for PG, you
can check out the newly updated list at
<http://www.steveharris.net/PGList.htm.>
A lot of books were written before the 1923 copyright deadline. Not too
many are well known today and some are more important than others.
While I want to encourage folks to contribute to Project Gutenberg any
way they can, I thought it might be useful to have a place for those who
are looking for ideas on which books to add.
The list includes almost 2000 entries compiled from the catalogues of
Everyman's Library, Franklin Press' "100 Greatest Books", the Modern
Library, Oxford Classics, and Penguin, as well as
- Bloom's Canon: Harold Bloom's The Western Canon, is one
(knowledgeable and opinionated) man's view of the important literary
books of western culture (from which I have extracted those (about 680)
written through 1900 (more or less); an approximate cut-off date which
is 'safe' for copyright purposes).
- PWBS: This list includes the 294 books from Publisher's Weekly's list
of US Best Sellers from 1900-1923.
Of the almost 2000 total entries, almost 1100 are already in Project
Gutenberg, PG Australia or are "In Progress".
About 260 still seem to be under US copyright (listed as "UC" (sometimes
with date)).
About 310 do not appear to have any etext version and are separately
listed in the "Not Found" list.
About 325 are available from etext sources other than Gutenberg.
This represents an increase of over 150 new or in progress Project
Gutenberg etexts and a reduction of more than 140 in the "Not Found"
List since July, 2003.

CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE APPROVES DATABASE BILL
The House Judiciary committee yesterday approved a
controversial database protection bill. Supported by
database companies such as Reed Elsevier and opposed by
companies such as Amazon.com, Google, and Yahoo!, the bill
would allow a database owner to sue in civil court "any
person who makes available in commerce to others a
quantitatively substantial part of the information in a

GETTING A COPY OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG DVD OR CD
We would prefer you download the CD or DVD image, as described below.
But if you would like a copy, we will send you a copy in the mail free
of charge (you can make a donation to offset our costs: visit
http://gutenberg.net/donate.shtml). When possible, we will send you
TWO copies, so you can give one away.
You can buy a copy of the CD from this site (a portion of all proceeds
go to Project Gutenberg):
http://supporttech.home.comcast.net/projgut.htm
You could also use a CD or DVD burner to copy the disc we send.
To receive a CD or DVD:
email your name and postal address
specify whether you want a CD or DVD
send to: "cd@pglaf.org"
We'll respond to let you know we got your message, and will send a CD
or DVD as soon as we can. Since the CDs and DVDs are produced by
volunteers (using their home computers), we cannot guarantee fast
delivery. Discs are sent via USPS or other inexpensive method.
Generally, the discs are hand-labeled and will arrive in a simple wrapper.
We will send them to you at any address, worldwide. We do not
have a program in place to send discs to other people on your behalf,
but are working on such a program for the future.
DOWNLOADING IMAGES FOR THE PROJECT GUTENBERG DVD AND CD
You can download these CD and DVD ISO images freely, and you are
encouraged to give away copies. See the details on the CD/DVD project
page for limitations on commercial use.

The ISO format is a single large file. CD/DVD burning software can
write the file to a CD or DVD, which can then be read in any computer
with a CD or DVD reader. You need a drive that can write and a blank
disc to write the ISO images. These files are large, so not suitable
for download over a modem or other slow connection.

3) Notes and Queries, Reviews and Features
PG A to Z
Yes, we start another new column this week, that will encompass
several of our others as we go past. We realise that perhaps, we might
not catch everything PG related as we go past any particular letter so
feel free to contribute suggestions and we may well go back and cover
that letter again. Now where to start, A of course, A is for
Alice. Hmm, very convienient. Well, we are not typical here at the
newsletter (you may have noticed), so we dare to be different.
'Z'
Z is for Zoran Stefanovic, co-ordinator of DP-EU and Project Rastko. Z
in the PG author list turns up several Chinese volumes by authors such
as Zhang Chao, Zhang Ni and Zhu Xi. There is also a volume on
aeroplanes by James Slough Zerbe. The introduction states that the
book isn't about the exploits of aviators nor a history of flying, but
is in fact 'a book of instructions intended to point out the theories
of flying, as given by the pioneers, the practical application of
power to the various flying structures; how they are built, the
different methods of controlling them; the advantages and
disadvantages of the types now in use; and suggestions as to the
directions in which improvements are required.' Possibly, if you desire
to build your own flying machine, this is the book with which to
begin. Z also includes Emile Zola, more on whom below.
Z for book titles includes Zanoni and Zicci both Edward Bulwer Lytton,
Zone Policeman 88; a close range study of the Panama canal and its
workers by Harry Alverson Franck.
Finally, Zen And The Art Of The Internet by Brendan P Kehoe,
published in 1992. Two particular pieces caught my eye.
'One warning is perhaps in order---this territory we are entering can
become a fantastic time-sink. Hours can slip by, people can come and
go, and you'll be locked into Cyberspace. Remember to do your work!'
'You have at your fingertips the ability to talk in ``real-time'' with
someone in Japan, send a 2,000-word short story to a group of people
who will critique it for the sheer pleasure of doing so, see if a
Macintosh sitting in a lab in Canada is turned on, and find out if
someone happens to be sitting in front of their computer (logged on)
in Australia, all inside of thirty minutes. No airline (or tardis,
for that matter) could ever match that travel itinerary.'
The ability to see into the future and see Distributed Proofreaders,
now that's impressive!
Emile Zola, French novelist and critic, the founder of naturalist
movement in literature. Emile Zola was born in Paris. His father was an
Italian engineer, who had French citizenship in 1862. Zola spent
his childhood in Aix-en-Provence, southeast France. When he was seven,
his father died, leaving the family with money problems - his mother
was largely dependent on a tiny pension. In 1858 Zola moved with his
mother to Paris. During his formative years Zola wrote several short
stories and essays, 4 plays and 3 novels. Among his early books was
CONTES Á NINON, which was published in 1864. When his sordid
autobiographical novel LA CONFESSION DE CLAUDE (1865) was published
and attracted the attention of the police, Zola was fired from his job.
After his first major novel, THÉRÈSE RAQUIN (1867), Zola started the
long series called Les Rougon Macquart, the natural and social history
of a family under the Second Empire. "I want to portray, at the outset
of a century of liberty and truth, a family that cannot restrain
itself in its rush to possess all the good things that progress is
making available and is derailed by its own momentum, the fatal
convulsions that accompany the birth of a new world." The family had
two branches - the Rougons were small shopkeepers and petty bourgeois,
and the Marquarts were poachers and smugglers and they had problems
with alcohol. Some members of the family would rise during the story
to the highest levels of the society, some would fall as victims of
social evils and heredity. Zola presented the idea to his publisher in
1868. At first the plan was limited to 10 books, but ultimately the series
comprised 20 volumes, ranging in subject from the world of peasants
and workers to the imperial court. Zola prepared his novels
carefully, he interviewed experts, wrote thick dossiers based on his
research, and outlined the action of each chapter.
In 1885 Zola published one of his finest works, GERMINAL. It was first
major work on a strike, based on his research notes on labor
conditions in the coal mines. The book was attacked by right-wing
political groups as a call to revolution. NANA (1880), another famous
work of the author, took the reader to the world of sexual
exploitation. Zola's tetralogy, LES QUATRE EVANGILES, which started
from FÉCONDITÉ (1899), was left unfinished.
Zola died on September 28, in 1902, under mysterious
circumstances, overcame by carbon monoxide fumes in his
sleep. According to some speculations, Zola's enemies blocked the
chimney of his apartment, causing poisonous fumes to build up and kill
him. At Zola's funeral Anatole France declared. 'He was a moment of
the human conscience.' In 1908 Zola's remains were transported to the
Panthéon. Naturalism as a literary movement fell out of favor after
Zola's death, but his integrity influenced deeply such writers as
Theodore Dreiser, August Strindberg and Emilia Pardo-Bazan.
United Press International: Project Gutenberg 's anabasis
By Sam Vaknin UPI Business Correspondent
Published 1/7/2004 12:37 PM
Last October, Project Gutenberg -- the Web's first and largest online
library of free electronic books -- released a long-awaited DVD
containing close to 10,000 of its titles. Since then, another 1000
texts were added to its burgeoning archives. The Project has also
spawned numerous other Web sites. Some of them, such as Blackmask,
offer free downloads and sell their own DVD with mostly Project
Gutenberg eBooks in multiple formats. Others provide free browsers and
library applications specific to PG's content.
The man behind the Project -- and, to many, the man who was the inventor
of the proto eBook in 1971 -- is Michael Hart.
Always amenable to preaching the gospel of free content and its
benefits, he spoke with United Press International about Project
Gutenberg's recent progress. Hart was joined by Greg Newby, chief
executive officer of the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation.
Q. In October 2003, you set a new target for Project Gutenberg of one
million free eBook by the year 2015. Are there so many books in the
public domain? And what then?
Michael: Archimedes said, "give me a lever long enough, and I will move the
world." Project Gutenberg (gutenberg.net) is just such a lever,
enabling a single person to create something of immense value that is
made available to millions of people. If we have reached a mere 1.5
percent of the world's population, we have already given away a
trillion eBooks.
Project Gutenberg is a grass roots operation, never having had real
funding or grants. For 30 years people said that we won't be around
next year. When we started to get close to 10,000 eBooks, they finally
stopped. There are lots of pretend eBook operations, but none of them
produce all of their eBooks themselves, or have 10,000 of their own
eBooks that can be read by virtually any text reader and word processor.
The next big step, after we have reached a million eBooks, will be to
translate each of them into as many as 100 languages, thus making them
available to an even larger audience. Regarding the number of titles
in the public domain, during the 20th Century, there were many years
in which over 50,000 books were published and the rate has been
increasing throughout. Certainly there were a million titles published
before 1923 that we can get our hands on, not to mention non-book
items such as newspapers, magazines, brochures and advertisements,
court records and other government documents, unpublished manuscripts
and diaries, music, film, photographs, audio, and other art forms.
Greg: My calculation, based on the U.S. Library of Congress' copyright
renewal records, is that there are about 1 million books published
from 1923 - 1964 that are demonstrably in the public domain. We are
seeking to "discover" these items. The copyrights of only 10 percent
of all published items are ever renewed.
Q. Libraries on CD-ROMs are at least a decade old. Why did Project
Gutenberg wait until now to issue its own DVD?
Michael: Because there was always someone out there willing to do it
for us. Because CD burners and DVD burners finally got so cost
effective that we could afford to give away this kind of
media. Because today you can't buy a computer off the shelf without a
DVD drive. Until now, physical media could not compete on a cost
effective basis with Internet downloads.
Greg: We have some volunteers willing to create CD and DVD images and
we now distribute them. But we hope to find many other channels to
distribute our content for free or for a small fee.
Q. Why don't simple scans or raw OCR (optical character recognition)
output qualify as eBooks? What is the technological future of eBooks
-- is it Machine Translation and, if yes, why?
Michael: Book scanning is outsourced half way across the world and the
results are shoddy and often cannot be used as input for OCR programs,
to create a text file, for instance. In contrast, once a true eBook is
created, it has more value than a paper copy, because it can be copied
ad infinitum, sent all over the world, even to a billion readers, and
can be the basis for hundreds of new paper and eBook editions, all at
virtually no cost. Moreover, people are not interested in scans. Some
Project Gutenberg sites each hand out 10 million eBooks per year -
impossible with scanned images or full text eBooks due to their
bandwidth-consuming oversize. The "scanners" want to be the only
source for "their" books, even when those books are in the public
domain - and are willing to claim copyright on the public domain works
of Project Gutenberg in the process. They deny themselves true access
to the public.
Our Unlimited Distribution Model calls for everyone to
have a library of 10,000 eBooks, stored on a single DVD that costs
only $1. People find this appealing. There are perhaps 10,000
volunteers to create our kind of ebooks - against only a few hundred
people, all paid, working to create libraries of scans. Additionally,
the huge scan files hold just a single book, are not searchable,
cannot be copied, indexed, or cited by off the shelf applications,
typos can't be corrected, and are not truly portable due to their size.
Project Gutenberg eBooks can be read in any manner the reader chooses
-- favorite fonts, margination, number of lines per page can all be --
-- modified. The reader becomes his or her own publisher. People with --
-- disabilities can use a speech engine to read the texts aloud. The --
-- visually challenged can change the font size. This is impossible to --
-- do with scans. With CD burners available for under $15, and DVD --
-- burners for $100, with blank media so cheap -- the cost of
individual books becomes literally "too cheap to meter." And that is
the whole point of the Project Gutenberg eBook library.
Greg: eBooks are editable and suitable for creating derivative
works. They are not intended to be a depiction of a printed artifact,
but a direct means of experiencing the author's writing. Today's best
OCR still makes (on average) several errors per page of text, and
requires human intervention to handle things like page headings and
footnotes. We plan to make PG's eBooks easily transformable among
different digital formats - XML, HTML, PDF, Braille, audiobooks, TeX,
RTF and others. Features such as fonts, or background colors will be
selectable. Machine translation (MT) will be another of these
"formats", but it is currently technologically premature and
immature. In cooperation with partner organizations in Europe and
elsewhere, we hope to help to develop better MT software. We are
supporting a project in Europe to augment MT with human translation,
much as today's OCR must be helped by human proofreaders to achieve a
low error rate.

Thanks this week to Brett and George for the numbers and the
booklists. Thierry, Joel, Greg, Michael and Larry Wall. Entertainment for
the workers provided as usual by BBC 6Music and Andrew Collins. Happy
anniversary to me. Typically working in a virtual office full of
men, no-one but me noticed that I've been around for a year doing
newsletters. No chocolates, no flowers - not even a picture of a
flower, they didn't even offer to make me a coffee, they probably all
think it's not important. Well, now I'm off to proof-read a book at DP
where I started, oh, and have a frosty drink. Happy anniversary readers.

EBooks numbered 1 to 10000 are located in "release year" directories. Over
time, the "release year" advanced, so that by November 2003 the release year
was 2006. Starting with eBook #10001, they are filed by their official eBook
number, with a unique subdirectory based on that eBook number.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED GREATER THAN 10000
To get to a directory listing you can use either:
http://gutenberg.net/1/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/
. . .navigate down through the subdirectories until you get to the
appropriate level, and then select the file you wish to download,
using your usual download procedures. This system works on mirrors,
too, and will hold all eBooks starting with the number "1" for
10,000 and beyond.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED 1 THROUGH 10000:
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download site (or
a mirror) if you know the filename and year you want. For example:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
and look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that updated
eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99, etext00, etc.)

============= [ SUBMIT A NEW EBOOK FOR COPYRIGHT CLEARANCE ]==============
If you have a book you would like to confirm is in the public domain in
the US, and therefore suitable for Project Gutenberg, please do the
following:
1. Check whether we have the eBook already. Look in
http://gutenberg.net/GUTINDEX.ALL
which is updated weekly. (The searchable catalog at
http://www.gutenberg.net lags behind by several months)
2. Check the "in progress" list to see whether someone is already
working on the eBook. Sometimes, books are listed as in progress for
years - if so, email David Price (his address is on the list) to ask
for contact information for the person working on the book. The "in
progress" list:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
3. If the book seems to be a good candidate (pre-1923 publication
date, or 1923-1988 published in the US without a copyright notice),
submit scans of the title page and verso page (even if the verso is
blank) to:
http://beryl.ils.unc.edu/copy.html
You'll hear back within a few days.
2) News and Comment
Major news this week
Announcing Distributed Proofreaders Europe
http://www.rastko.net/dp/default.php
This is the test site of Distributed Proofreaders Europe, which is a
service of Project Gutenberg Europe, Project Rastko, and the Global
Translation Project.
These are the words that greet all visitors to the newest part of the
Project Gutenberg / Distributed Proofreaders family. This newest
member is also turning into quite a unifying force behind the scenes
with two (so far) other volunteer projects joining forces with Project
Rastko to develop a really far reaching DP-EU. The main focus of
proofing at the moment is team based, the hope is the national and
special teams will adopt various books going throught the site. By
April they hope to have localization in 12 languages and dialects
finished, with 30 national/language teams formed. Then by the end of
December 2005: Localization in 60 languages and dialects, with the
existence of 60+ national/language teams. DP-EU could be the first
major Project Gutenberg's breakout from the primarily English speaking
area that has so far been PG history.
We include below a couple of pints from the DP-EU site, and we would
encourage readers to take a look at our newest project and gve them
our full support.
"Project Rastko - Internet Library of Serb Culture" is a non-profit
and non-governmental publishing, cultural and educational project
established in 1997 as a part of pan-regional Balkans Cultural Network
Initiative.
Project Rastko (DP-EU) is forming a coalition of European e-libraries
in order to contribute all local public domain digital production to
PG. Every region will have its local authorized e-library (node) which
will be local service of continental and global network. Thus, the
eventual organization will be of the type (Country, Continent, Globe)
or, for example, PG (France)-PG EU-PG. While the original Project
Gutenberg (and Distributed Proofreaders) primarily serviced the (world
wide) English diaspora, Europe, with its many languages, requires an
even greater distribution network. Many languages are primarily
located in their 'home' countries. Both the need for the production of
these languages, and the resources for acquiring them (content,
proofers) will be equally localized. It is important to note, though,
that the effort is fully international. Membership in any Project
Gutenburg, or any Distributed Proofreaders, is membership in all.
Mentions in dispatches
This piece comes to us via BBCWorld this week, where BBC presenter
Kate Russell highlighted both ibiblio and Project Gutenberg.
http://bbcworld.com/content/template_clickonline.asp?pageid=666&co_pageid=6
Webscape
January 15th 2004
Kate Russell gives us a guide to the sites in her Favourites folder.
There is no doubt that the internet is absolutely bursting at the seams
with information, so it's hardly surprising that more and more websites
are being built to help you find your way around it. Ibiblio describes
itself as an online library and digital archive, and it claims to be home
to one of the largest 'collections of collections' on the world wide web.
Not having seen every website on the internet personally, I can't validate
that claim, but you only have to look at the collection index to realise
that it's certainly vast enough to be a serious contender. Broken down
into easily digestible categories such as Arts & Recreation, Languages,
and Religion & Theology, you can click your way through to a powerhouse of
information on pretty much any subject you'd care to think of and, unlike
a traditional library, there's far more than just pages of text hidden
away in these archives. For example, within the Asian History subsection
you can access a page full of audio samples taken from traditional
Nepalese music, to really give you a flavour of the culture. Or why not
visit the Project Gutenberg pages to download classic literature in
digital form, either as a plain text file or as an audio file read out by
a synthesised voice. It might sound a bit strange hearing Shakespeare's "A
Midsummer's Nights Dream" spoken in this toneless computerised voice, but
as a resource for the visually impaired it could prove invaluable.

The book with the longest subtitle ever!
A Set of Rogues, by Frank Barrett 10727
[Subtitle: Namely Christopher Sutton, John Dawson, the Senor Don Sanches
del Castillo de Castelana and Moll Dawson. Their Wicked Conspiracy, and a
True Account of their Travels and Adventures. The marriage of Moll Dawson
by sinful means to a worthy gentleman of merit; her fall, remorse and
great sorrow; her second expedition with her former roguish companions
into strange places. Her atonement to Mr. Richard Godwin (whereby she
renders up all she ever had of him and more) and selling of herself to
Algerine pirates and going into Barbary a slave; together with the
tribulations of those who led her to wrong doing, and many other
surprising things now disclosed for the first time as the faithful
confession of Christopher Sutton. ]

The Picture Alphabet, by Oliver Spafford 10742
[A book from which children might learn the alphabet. Each letter is
accompanied by an illustration, such as a cat for "C." I wonder if
children in 1850 were familiar with a nylghau for "N," ibex for "I," or

the English language begins with this letter."]

The Circus Procession, by Unknown 10749
[This is without doubt the most fascinating book that's passed through my
hands during my career at PG. It's a children's book about a circus parade,
with
gorgeous illustrations. But what makes it so unusual is the way it was put
together (both the original and the html). The original book consisted of 4
lines of verse at the bottom of colored illustrations of the circus procession.
The leaves were mounted on boards and joined together in an accordion-fold
format which, fully extended, was 372 cm (roughly 12 feet) in length. Thus, the
html version is to be scrolled horizontally, so that it will be viewed as was
the original.]

Thanks to Ben Courtney and his associates at DP for giving us this book, which
surely is one of the treasures of our collection.

Now with a posting note like this, how can the newsletter editor
refuse to take a look. The HTML version is well worth a look with some
exquisite illustrations, and amazing colours given the publishing date
is 1888. IT's also interesting to note the difference between this and
the pictures of the circus that we are all familiar with, clowns, but
of course no car to fall apart. No trapeze artists, but far more
emphasis on the exotic animals. I think this would still make a
fantastic childrens' book even now. Thoroughly recommended.

============= [ SUBMIT A NEW EBOOK FOR COPYRIGHT CLEARANCE ]==============
If you have a book you would like to confirm is in the public domain in
the US, and therefore suitable for Project Gutenberg, please do the
following:
1. Check whether we have the eBook already. Look in
http://gutenberg.net/GUTINDEX.ALL
which is updated weekly. (The searchable catalog at
http://www.gutenberg.net lags behind by several months)
2. Check the "in progress" list to see whether someone is already
working on the eBook. Sometimes, books are listed as in progress for
years - if so, email David Price (his address is on the list) to ask
for contact information for the person working on the book. The "in
progress" list:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html

GETTING A COPY OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG DVD OR CD
There have been loads of enquiries about this, so we include here help
and instructions.
We would prefer you download the CD or DVD image, as described below.
But if you would like a copy, we will send you a copy in the mail free
of charge (you can make a donation to offset our costs: visit
http://gutenberg.net/donate.shtml). When possible, we will send you
TWO copies, so you can give one away.
You can buy a copy of the CD from this site (a portion of all proceeds
go to Project Gutenberg):
http://supporttech.home.comcast.net/projgut.htm
You could also use a CD or DVD burner to copy the disc we send.
To receive a CD or DVD:
email your name and postal address
specify whether you want a CD or DVD
send to: "cd@pglaf.org"
We'll respond to let you know we got your message, and will send a CD
or DVD as soon as we can. Since the CDs and DVDs are produced by
volunteers (using their home computers), we cannot guarantee fast
delivery. Discs are sent via USPS or other inexpensive method.
Generally, the discs are hand-labeled and will arrive in a simple wrapper.
We will send them to you at any address, worldwide. We do not
have a program in place to send discs to other people on your behalf,
but are working on such a program for the future.
DOWNLOADING IMAGES FOR THE PROJECT GUTENBERG DVD AND CD
You can download these CD and DVD ISO images freely, and you are
encouraged to give away copies. See the details on the CD/DVD project
page for limitations on commercial use.
Start here for description, links to the ISO images, and checksums.
http://gutenberg.net/cdproject
The ISO format is a single large file. CD/DVD burning software can
write the file to a CD or DVD, which can then be read in any computer
with a CD or DVD reader. You need a drive that can write and a blank
disc to write the ISO images. These files are large, so not suitable
for download over a modem or other slow connection.

Wikipedia ebook discussion
This from an idea put forward by one of the volunteers this week.
A wiki or similar forum might be a great way to provide reader support
services to discuss an eBook.
Wikipedias sister project tries to accomplish a similiar job:
http://wikibooks.org/wiki/Annotated_works
So if you would like to discuss a book from PG, this seems to be a
great forum in which to do it. As far as we know there is nothing
particularly specific that relates PG to Wikibooks, so maybe this is
the time to improve this.

At Last, by Charles Kingsley 10669
For those wishing to know: this is the last major work Kingsley wrote. His
family had come from the West Indies and it was his life-long ambition to
visit the islands. It's his account of the trip. However, Kingsley was also
very keen on natural history and spends a good deal of the book giving the
Latin names for the plants and animals he comes across.
Game and Playe of the Chesse, by Caxton 10672
Extract from the Introduction of this remarkable book:
"Snuffy Davy bought the 'Game of Chess, 1474,' the first book ever printed
in England, from a stall in Holland for about two groschen, or two-pence of
our money."

Distributed Proofreaders Update
Happy new year!
Yes, I know, you've heard it before. You've heard it so many times in
fact that by now it seems to have little true resonance. Now I don't
write the news here, I just make it up, so far be it for me to play
shepherd of meaning, but I can recognize a New Year when I see
one. Fresh from the gate, 2004 has all the markings a unique life
form. 2003, wonderful as it was for DP, is truly a creature of
history.
Now happiness is a subjective perception, so can a year, in and of
itself, actuallybe happy? For you and me we say "yes." However there
are few readers in the back of the room shaking their heads, so let's
see what can be revealed within these past couple of weeks to dissuade
them out of their disbelief.
Throughout the world, many of our spiritual traditions express the
idea that the surestpath to happiness is found by giving to
others. The unselfish gift so often proves an inspiration for joy. As
anyone who has experienced some will tell you, joy is very
contagious. Spread some of this good stuff around at the beginning of
a year, and sure as the sun warms your skin, joy will flow forward and
illuminate the weeks and months which follow.
Now if you are Distributed Proofreaders how do you start this wheel of
happiness spinning? What do you give, more than what you already do,
and how should you decide who best to give to over another. Ah... both
valid questions, true. But you must know by now that I have thought
about this, thought a great deal in fact. The answer is right at our
feet, the very ground we stand upon shines up at us like the
proverbial "acres of diamonds." That ground is the public domain. "But
we already give to the public domain," I hear from the back of the
room; "In fact, that's all DP lives to do." True indeed ... but the
operative word in my opening wish was "new." This is a new year, and
if we desire it to be different than other years, we must do things in
new ways. This includes giving in new ways as well.
DP lives within the USA, and so we operate under the limits upon the
public domain which presently are imposed upon the USA. It is fair to
say that over the past several years, those of us who live fenced off
from an ever increasing public domain have forgotten the pleasure that
rises when a favorite book is at last released to the public good at
the start of the new year. Yet in countries around the globe, works by
a vast selection of authors were set free this January first. Not
single titles alone, but entire libraries of work have for the first
time become freely available where the laws allow copyright to be
retained for 50-70 years beyond an author's life.
Across the European Union, the works of authors who passed away in
1933 have been free to all for these past two weeks. If you are a fan
of Robert William Chambers, John Galsworthy, Sara Teasdale or George
Augustus Moore and live within a 70+ country, I do envy you the
pleasures that are yours to enjoy this month and beyond. How fine it
must be to at last partake to your heart's content of the thoughts,
feelings and ideas of a favorite author! Well, at least to the extent
of what is available by these authors in Project Gutenberg. Ah!
... and here is true path to happiness for this year. Here is what
Distributed Proofreaders can give in a manner beyond what it already
does and focus that direction upon a specific audience.
With an inspired, dedicated effort, that I will personally champion,
those at DP who desire to, can help expand the existing PG libraries
by authors new to the public domain in the +50-70 countries. This will
of course be limited to those works of a pre-23 vintage, but this
remains to be quite a large number of titles. Watch for details about
this initiative in the forums over the coming days, there is
participation to be enjoyed at every level of research and production,
as well as a promise of happiness that will stay with you long beyond
the borders of this year and on into your life. Even among our own DP
community we have so much to give and in so doing show the gratitude
for all that has been already given by those members from certain
countries where other projects at DP were not open for the PD in their
home country. There is so much to give through this effort and so much
to be received in return. A happy new year it is and a happy new year
it continue to be.
This year sees a vast and wondrously promising expansion of the DP
dream, which will fill the news of the next couple of weeks. This is
one of the original promises of the Internet kept and true, the
collaborative effort of dedicated individuals throughout the world
working for a better and brighter future. Stay tuned!!
What would a new year be without a significant milestone? Today we
celebrate a very big one. Just a couple of hours ago, the 3,000th
completed project at DP was posted to Project Gutenberg. Yes, it was
just in September that we completed the 2,000th project. And yes, that
IS pretty amazing, but hey, we amazin' folks!
Okay, some of us are amazin'! Like Karl Hagen, for instance, who took
on the heroic labor of post processing The Anatomy of Melancholy, by
Democritus Junior. A project which is legendary in the history & lore
of DP. The setting of this project as the commemorative DP3K posting
is a small gesture of appreciation to Karl and all the DP members who
put their efforts into bringing this book to PG.
Following that feat of dedication, there is no more to say.
Until next week...all the best to each and all of you, now and for the
50 weeks ahead!

3) Notes and Queries, Reviews and Features
The Anatomy of Melancholy, by Democritus Junior (Robert Burton)
An extract from the introduction:
"ADVERTISEMENT TO THE LAST LONDON EDITION (1652 ?)
The work now restored to public notice has had an extraordinary fate. At
the time of its original publication it obtained a great celebrity, which
continued more than half a century. During that period few books were more
read, or more deservedly applauded. It was the delight of the learned, the
solace of the indolent, and the refuge of the uninformed. It passed through
at least eight editions, by which the bookseller, as WOOD records, got an
estate; and, notwithstanding the objection sometimes opposed against it, of
a quaint style, and too great an accumulation of authorities, the
fascination of its wit, fancy, and sterling sense, have borne down all
censures, and extorted praise from the first Writers in the English
language. The grave JOHNSON has praised it in the warmest terms, and the
ludicrous STERNE has interwoven many parts of it into his own popular
performance. MILTON did not disdain to build two of his finest poems on it;
and a host of inferior writers have embellished their works with beauties
not their own, culled from a performance which they had not the justice
even to mention. Change of times, and the frivolity of fashion, suspended,
in some degree, that fame which had lasted near a century; and the
succeeding generation affected indifference towards an author, who at
length was only looked into by the plunderers of literature, the poachers
in obscure volumes. The plagiarisms of _Tristram Shandy_, so successfully
brought to light by DR. FERRIAR, at length drew the attention of the public
towards a writer, who, though then little known, might, without impeachment
of modesty, lay claim to every mark of respect; and inquiry proved, beyond
a doubt, that the calls of justice had been little attended to by others,
as well as the facetious YORICK. WOOD observed, more than a century ago,
that several authors had unmercifully stolen matter from BURTON without any
acknowledgment. The time, however, at length arrived, when the merits of
the _Anatomy of Melancholy_ were to receive their due praise. The book was
again sought for and read, and again it became an applauded performance."
The Anatomy of Melancholy - it stil sends shivers down my spine and I
only proofed one page. This has to be one of the most scary books I
have ever laid eyes on, but that must not diminish it's
importance. The Anatomy of Melancholy was published eight times during
the authors lifetime, a rare enough event these days, never mind 400
years ago. The books' subject matter is depression, "Burton believed
depression to be both a physical and spiritual ailment. Prompted by
his own bouts with the affliction, he employed his considerable
erudition and wit to write what amounts to the first psychiatric
encyclopedia, citing early 500 medical authors in the course of
classifying the myriad causes, forms and symptoms of depression, and
describing its various cures (Norman)"
The work reveals Burton's delight in English literature and his
'roving humour'. He quotes from Shakespeare, Jonson, Daniel, Drayton,
and Florio's Montaigne. His own library at Christ Church was filled
with such works, and his bequest of more than 800 volumes to the
Bodleian Library laid the foundations for Bodley's collection of
English literature.
The first edition is the only one of the eight life-time editions in
which the 'Conclusion' is included, at the end of which Burton's name
appears - not that his authorship was any secret.
A search on the internet turned up an antiquarian bookseller asking an
amazing 32000 GB pounds for a copy.

Hilaire Belloc
This was brought to our attention a while ago. There appear to be many
and various works of Belloc available for use in PG. These include
Cautionary Tales for Children
Avril, Being Essays on Poetry of the French Renaissance
The Four Men: A Farrago
The French Revolution
Servile State
Hilaire Belloc (1870 - 1953), was born close to Paris, but due to the
Franco-Prussian war was educated in England. He attended Oxford
University and served as a member of Parliament for Salford South. His
first work was published in 1896, and over 150 volumes were eventually
published.
