ANNOUNCEMENT.
The NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY was organized in January, 1888, "to
increase and diffuse geographic knowledge." It is incorporated under
the laws of the District of Columbia, and has at present an active
membership of about four hundred.
The publication of a magazine was early determined upon as one of the
means of increasing and diffusing geographic knowledge; and two
volumes of _The National Geographic Magazine_ have been published in
the form of a quarterly journal.
During the past two years it has been found that the form of
publication adopted at the outset meets but imperfectly the needs of
the Society: in the first place, since the season of active work in
the Society includes the winter months only, there was an excess of
material for the two earlier numbers and a dearth of material for the
two later numbers of the volume; and in the second place, the
necessity for holding articles until sufficient material for a number
was received sometimes led to delay in publishing interesting and
important matter. Accordingly it has been decided to discontinue the
quarterly form and to publish the _Magazine_ in the form of a series
of brochures, each issued promptly as possible after reception of the
material. The details of this modified form of publication are set
forth elsewhere in this number of the _Magazine_.
While the _National Geographic Magazine_ is edited by and constitutes
the organ of the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY, it is not limited to
this function; and, as was announced in the first number of the
journal, "its pages will be open to all persons interested in
geography in the hope that it may become a channel of
intercommunication, stimulate geographic investigation, and prove an
acceptable medium for the publication of results."
With the adoption of the modified form of the journal the publication
year was changed from one determined by the working season of the
SOCIETY to the calendar year; and it is to cover a hiatus in the
SOCIETY'S records growing out of this change that this fifth number of
Volume II is issued.
* * * * *
The National Capital seems to be a natural and appropriate place for
an association of national character, and the aim of the founders has
been therefore to form a continental rather than a local Society. That
this aim has measurably succeeded is indicated by the fact that
although the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY is only three years old there
are 57 non-resident members, distributed over 27 states and
territories.
* * * * *
One of the means adopted by the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY for
increasing geographic knowledge has been that of exploration. In the
spring of 1890 an expedition was sent out by the Society to explore
and survey the Mt. St. Elias alps of Alaska. The results of the
expedition include (1) new determinations of altitude and geographic
position for Mt. St. Elias and neighboring peaks; (2) a topographic
map of a considerable part of the Mt. St. Elias range with its
southwestern foothills and the slopes thence to the shores of the
Pacific; (3) an investigation of the glaciers of this alpine region;
(4) researches into the geology of the region; and (5) a study of the
range and its climatal and other conditions so complete as to prepare
the way for detailed surveys of the entire region.
A report on the Mt. St. Elias expedition, comprising about 150 pages
of letter-press with 20 plates and a number of other illustrations,
has just been sent to press as a part of Volume III of the _National
Geographic Magazine_.
As another means of carrying out the purposes of the SOCIETY, regular
fortnightly meetings are held for presenting scientific and popular
communications on geographic subjects, some of which are published in
the _National Geographic Magazine_. The Society also provides for the
delivery of public lectures in Washington upon explorations in
little-known countries and upon other geographic subjects. Within a
few months lectures have been delivered under the auspices of the
Society by eminent explorers or students on the following subjects:
The Explorer in Egypt;
Buried Cities of Ancient Egypt;
Life among the Australian Cannibals;
A Journey through China, Mongolia and Thibet;
Korea and the Koreans;
Results of the Mt. St. Elias Exploring Expedition.
The SOCIETY has in preparation a physical atlas of the United States.
There is no geographic or number limitation to membership in the
Society. The _National Geographic Magazine_ is sent free to members.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY.
THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SECRETARIES.
PRESENTED TO THE SOCIETY, DECEMBER 26, 1890.
_Membership._--The Society was organized in January, 1888, with a
total membership of 165.
At the close of its first year, in December, 1888, the membership was
209. At the close of the second year, in December, 1889, the
membership was 228; and the present membership is 392.[1]
[Footnote 1: The membership has since increased to 399, as shown by
the summary on p. 334.]
Since the last annual meeting the membership has been increased by the
election of 190 new members. It has been decreased by the resignation
of 10 members, by the death of 1 member (Capt. C. O. Boutelle) and by
the dropping of 15 members for non-payment of dues. The net increase
has thus been 164, and the present total membership is 392 as above
stated.
This membership is classified as follows:
Active members 331
Corresponding members 57
Life members 4
---
Total number of members 392
At the beginning of the year, corresponding members paid no dues. On
March 20 of this year, however, the By-Laws were so amended as to
require these members to pay annual dues of $2.00, such payment
entitling them to the publications of the Society.
_Meetings._--The Society has held 22 meetings during the year, of
which, 13 were regular meetings for the reading and discussion of
papers, 4 were public lectures at which an admission fee was charged,
1 was a field meeting at the Great Falls of the Potomac on May 21, 1
was a special meeting for considering ways and means for increasing
the Society's usefulness, 1 was the meeting for presentation of the
annual address of the President for 1889 (delayed by reason of absence
of the President from the city), 1 was the meeting for the
presentation of the President's address for 1890, and 1 the annual
meeting for the election of officers and transaction of business.
At the regular meetings for the reading and discussion of papers, the
average attendance was 170, the highest being 850 and the lowest 25.
The Board of Managers have held 23 meetings for transacting the
business of the Society, of which 13 were regular and 10 were special
meetings. The highest attendance of the 17 members composing the Board
was 13, and on several occasions there has been no quorum.
_Changes in the Board._--On November 5, the Recording Secretary, Mr.
Henry Gannett, resigned, and the Board of Managers filled the vacancy
by electing Mr. Marcus Baker in his place. The Board then elected Mr.
Gannett as one of the Managers. On December 9, Mr. O. H. Tittmann
resigned the office of Corresponding Secretary, and Dr. J. C. Welling
resigned from the Board of Managers. The vacancies thus created have
not been filled.
_Explorations._--In the month of May the Board of Managers decided to
send a party to the vicinity of Mt. St. Elias, Alaska, for the purpose
of making geographic and geologic exploration and survey. Funds for
the purpose were obtained in part from the treasury of the Society, in
part from private subscription and in part from the coöperation of the
U. S. Geological Survey. Mr. I. C. Russell, Geologist of the U. S.
Geological Survey, was placed in charge of the party and of geologic
work, and Mr. Mark B. Kerr, Topographer, also of the U. S. Geological
Survey, was sent in charge of the topographic work.
Through the kindly coöperation of the U. S. Navy Department and of the
U. S. Revenue Marine, both of which furnished transportation, the
party reached the field of work and was brought away at the close of
their labors without mishap or loss of time. The party, consisting all
told of nine persons, were enabled to spend about three months in
exploration and survey of a most interesting and unknown region filled
with gigantic mountains smothered in glaciers. An area of several
hundred square miles was mapped, mountain peaks climbed, heights
measured, photographs made and numerous and interesting notes
obtained. A final report of this, the Society's first venture in
exploration, is now in preparation and its publication by the Society
is expected in a short time.
_Publications._--During the year the Society has published volume II
of the National Geographic Magazine. This volume contains 285 pages,
together with maps and illustrations, and was issued in four numbers,
in April, May, July and August.

SUMMARY OF REPORTS ON THE MT. ST. ELIAS EXPEDITION.
During the year 1890, the National Geographic Society made its first
venture in exploration. This venture consisted in raising funds,
organizing and sending to the vicinity of Mt. St. Elias, Alaska, a
small party in charge of Mr. I. C. Russell to make geographic and
geologic studies. The following is a condensed account of the
enterprise, taken largely from reports of committees and other records
not otherwise published.
During the spring months of 1890, the Board of Managers of the
National Geographic Society considered from time to time ways and
means for carrying out the declared purpose of the Society "to
increase and diffuse geographic knowledge." The advisability of
undertaking some exploratory work was discussed. That geographic
knowledge could be _diffused_ by lectures and by publications was
obvious. But to _increase_ geographic knowledge other means were
clearly necessary. Exploration seemed the most obvious mode for
accomplishing this increase. What particular exploration should be
undertaken was then considered. A proposition to aid in continuing the
researches of Mr. W. W. Rockhill, in Thibet, was made but was given up
on account of the expense, which seemed beyond the means of the
Society. Later a proposition by Mr. W. D. Johnson that the Society
should send a party to the vicinity of Mt. St. Elias, Alaska, was
submitted and adopted provisionally, the proviso relating to success
in securing the necessary funds. This proposition was submitted to the
Board of Managers May 20, and adopted May 23, 1890.
Four days later, viz., on May 27, 1890, a largely attended special
meeting of the Board went over the whole matter. It was submitted that
the probable cost of the expedition would be about $3500; that of this
sum about $2500 had already been paid or pledged and that 13 persons
had signed a joint note for $1000 by which to secure the needful
balance and insure the departure of the expedition. Furthermore it was
submitted that the Secretary of the Navy had directed the U. S. S.
Pinta to transport the party from Sitka to Yakutat Bay and return, and
the Director of the U. S. Geological Survey had authorized the detail
of Mr. I. C. Russell, geologist, and Mr. Mark B. Kerr, topographer,
for the scientific work of the expedition.
A long and earnest discussion was had on the advisability of starting
the expedition out on this basis. The lateness of the season and the
low condition of the funds were urged as reasons for delaying till
next year. It was finally decided, however, by a vote of 7 to 5 to
adopt the proposition now and start the expedition forthwith.
Thus, by the aid and coöperation of the U. S. Geological Survey and of
the Secretary of the Navy, the expedition was organized. Mr. I. C.
Russell, geologist, was placed in charge, and Mr. Mark B. Kerr was
assigned as topographer of the party. The plan of work was to proceed
to Yakutat Bay and to study and map as large an area in the vicinity
of Mt. St. Elias as practicable. It was also planned to redetermine
the height of the mountain, and, if practicable, to ascend it.
The party consisted all told of ten persons; Messrs. Russell and Kerr
before mentioned, Mr. E. S. Hosmer, a volunteer assistant from
Washington, and seven camp hands, hired in Seattle, of whom James H.
Christie was foreman. On June 17, they sailed on the steamer Queen for
Sitka, where, on arriving, they found the U. S. S. Pinta in readiness
to take them to Yakutat, in accordance with instructions previously
received from the Secretary of the Navy. They were at once transferred
with all their outfit from the Queen to the Pinta, and sailed for
Yakutat Bay, arriving June 25, in fog and rain.
Three days later the party, with all stores and equipment, had been
landed; and bidding good-bye to the courteous officers of the Pinta,
they entered upon the serious work of the season.
The area to be examined was found to consist of a majestic mountain
range, trending southeast and northwest, in front of which was a
broad, ice-covered plateau. The range is snow-clad down to a level of
1500 feet above the sea, and is filled with glaciers of vast
magnitude. Excursions into this area and a study of its glacial and
geological phenomena were at once begun. At the same time Mr. Kerr
measured a base line and began the work of mapping the region. A
system of triangulation starting from this measured base was carried
on, the prominent peaks were located by intersection, and heights were
determined by vertical angles. Sketches and photographs were taken
from many points, and before the season closed, sufficient material
was gathered to make a fairly good map of an area of about 1000 square
miles.
The topographic work having been well started and a base camp
established, the party took up the line of march toward Mt. St. Elias.
On the first of August they found themselves midway between Yakutat
Bay and St. Elias, but still at the base of the mountains. Most of the
way to this point the journey had been made over crevassed ice. The
party continued to push on, and after twenty days of very severe labor
above the snow line reached and camped at the base of St. Elias. From
this camp, at an elevation of about 9,000 feet, the party started at 3
o'clock in the morning for the final climb to the summit of the
mountain, but were beaten back by a prolonged and severe storm with
heavy fall of snow. Two days later a second attempt was made, but
another snow storm broke over the mountains as suddenly as the first.
The deep snow accumulated by these two storms prevented all further
progress, and the party reluctantly turned back. They continued to
travel about in the region, while wending their way slowly back to
Yakutat, gathering interesting and valuable geographic and geologic
data. On the 20th of September they arrived at Yakutat Bay, having had
almost continuous stormy weather since the attempted climb of the
mountain. Two days after their arrival at Yakutat the U. S. Revenue
Cutter Corwin, Capt. C. L. Hooper commanding, was seen steaming up the
bay. Acting on his own judgment, and knowing that the explorers would
fare badly if left at Yakutat until winter set in, Capt. Hooper had
come from Sitka especially for the party, which was taken on board
Sept. 24, and conveyed directly to Port Townsend, Washington, where it
arrived October 2 and disbanded, Messrs. Russell and Kerr returning to
Washington.
Various newspaper accounts of this expedition have been published, as
well as articles in several magazines, notably in Scribner's, and the
Century. The full official report with map and illustrations will be
published hereafter in the _National Geographic Magazine_.

SECTION 1. The National Geographic Society will continue to publish a
serial entitled _The National Geographic Magazine_.
SEC. 2. This serial shall be published in covered parts or brochures,
consecutively paged for each volume. The brochures shall be designated
by volume numbers and limiting pages; and each shall bear a special
title setting forth the contents and authorship, as well as the title
of the serial and the seal and imprint of the Society, and, in
addition, the precise date of publication.
SEC. 3. A brochure may consist of a single memoir or article, in which
case twenty-five copies will be furnished to the author without
charge, and the author may order or authorize the order of any
additional number of copies; and the shorter papers, abstracts,
reviews, notes and miscellaneous matter may be collected and issued as
brochures uniform with those containing the memoirs.
SEC. 4. The brochures of the serial shall be arranged for gathering
into volumes, each comprising the issue of a calendar year; and about
the close of each year there shall be published in a brochure arranged
to complete the volume a title-page, a list of contents, and an index
for the corresponding volume, together with an abstract of the
proceedings of the Society and lists of officers and members for the
year, and a copy of the by-laws and rules governing the Society.
_Matter of Publication_.
SEC. 5. The matter published in the National Geographic Magazine, may
comprise: (1) original communications prepared by members or guests of
the National Geographic Society presented at meetings by title or
otherwise; (2) original communications or memoirs prepared for the
Magazine either by members or non-members, whether presented before
the Society or not; (3) translations or abstracts of important foreign
publications relating to geography, reviews of geographic works, items
of geographic intelligence, etc.; (4) abstracts of papers read and
discussions made before the Society, prepared or revised by authors;

pages, lists of contents and indexes for each volume.
SEC. 6. Matter designed for publication in the National Geographic
Magazine may be transmitted to the Committee on Publications either
direct or through the secretaries or other officers of the Society:
soon as may be thereafter the Committee shall decide on the
desirability and expediency of publication, or refer the matter to the
Board of Managers for decision; if the matter is accepted it shall be
published soon as practicable; if rejected it shall be returned to the
author. Communications from non-members and translated memoirs shall
be published only upon unanimous vote of the Committee on Publications
or by specific authority from the Board of Managers. The Committee on
Publications or the Board of Managers may refer any communication to
special committees for examination.
SEC. 7. Matter offered for publication in the National Geographic
Magazine becomes thereby the property of the National Geographic
Society and shall not be published elsewhere prior to publication in
the Magazine except by consent of the Society.

memoir-brochure or reserved for the next brochure of miscellaneous
contents (or magazine-brochure) at the option of the Committee on
Publications. Proofs of letter-press and illustrations shall be
submitted to authors or persons designated by authors whenever
practicable; but printing shall not be delayed more that one week by

for the volume; and each brochure may contain a synoptic list of
contents prepared by the author and, at the option of the Committee on
Publications, an alphabetic index, provided the same be prepared by
the author. Each brochure shall be enclosed in a cover conforming
nearly as may be to the present covers of the serial, bearing at the
head of its title-page the title of the serial, the volume, the
limiting pages, the date of publication, and, below, the seal and
imprint of the Society; other cover pages may bear a list of the
publications of the Society; but nothing else of bibliographic or
other permanent value shall be printed on the covers unless the same
be printed also in the body of the volume to which the brochure
belongs.
SEC. 10. The author of each memoir shall receive twenty-five copies
without charge and shall be authorized to order, through the Committee
on Publications, any edition of exactly similar brochures in exactly
similar covers to be printed as author's separates at cost of paper
and press work; but no author's separates of the memoir-brochures
shall be issued except in this regular form.
SEC. 11. At least two magazine-brochures maybe published during each
year, the first about the close of the meeting season of the Society,
and the second about the close of the calendar year.

volume from which they are extracted.
SEC. 13. About the end of each year a volume-title-page, general lists
of contents and illustrations of the volume, lists of officers and
members of the Society, the by-laws and rules, an abstract of the
proceedings for the year, and a general index to the volume shall be
printed and issued as a separate brochure. All of this matter except
the index shall be arranged for binding at the beginning of the volume
under a distinct Roman pagination; but the index shall take the
regular Arabic pagination at the end of the volume. The title-page
shall bear the name of the Committee on Publications; and the obverse
shall bear the imprimatur of the Board of Managers and the printer's
card.
SEC. 14. The bottom of each signature and of each initial page shall
bear a signature mark giving an abbreviated title of the serial, the
volume and the year; and every page shall be numbered, the initial and
sub-title pages at the bottom.
SEC. 15. The page-head titles shall be: on even-numbered pages, name
of author and catch title of paper; on odd-numbered pages, catch title
of contents of page.
SEC. 16. All brochures shall be trimmed at top, side and bottom.

which the edition is delivered to the Committee on Publications.
SEC. 19. The brochures shall be distributed immediately by the
Committee on Publications to members of the Society, subscribers, and
exchanges from a list furnished by the Secretaries; and the
undistributed copies of each edition shall be turned over to the
Secretaries.

author's extracts from the magazine-brochures, or any other matter
printed from type originally composed for the Magazine.
SEC. 22. The Magazine shall be mailed free to members of the Society
not in arrears for dues more than six months, and also to exchanges,
and for an annual price of three dollars to regular subscribers. The
separate brochures may be sold, to the number of not more than ten to
each individual, at an advance on cost of 25 per cent. to members and
75 per cent. to non-members of the Society; and either separate
brochures or complete volumes may be sold to dealers at the usual
discount for matter of the same class.

be renamed.
Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright
law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works,
so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United
States without permission and without paying copyright
royalties. Special rules, set forth in the General Terms of Use part
of this license, apply to copying and distributing Project
Gutenberg-tm electronic works to protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm

and may not be used if you charge for the eBooks, unless you receive
specific permission. If you do not charge anything for copies of this
eBook, complying with the rules is very easy. You may use this eBook
for nearly any purpose such as creation of derivative works, reports,
performances and research. They may be modified and printed and given
away--you may do practically ANYTHING in the United States with eBooks
not protected by U.S. copyright law. Redistribution is subject to the
trademark license, especially commercial redistribution.

States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in the
United States and you are located in the United States, we do not
claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing,
displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as
all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope

distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any
other Project Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no
representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any

are located before using this ebook.
1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is
derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not
contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the
copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in
the United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are
redistributing or providing access to a work with the phrase "Project
Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the work, you must comply
either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 or
obtain permission for the use of the work and the Project Gutenberg-tm
trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

other than "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official
version posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site
(www.gutenberg.org), you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense
to the user, provide a copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means

full Project Gutenberg-tm License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he has
agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid
within 60 days following each date on which you prepare (or are
legally required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty
payments should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in
Section 4, "Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation."
* You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all
copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue
all use of and all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg-tm
works.
* You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of
any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days of
receipt of the work.
* You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project
Gutenberg-tm electronic work or group of works on different terms than
are set forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing
from both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and The
Project Gutenberg Trademark LLC, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm
trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
1.F.
1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
cannot be read by your equipment.
1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGE.
1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If
the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing
without further opportunities to fix the problem.
1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO
OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of
damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement
violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the
agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or
limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the
remaining provisions.
1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in
accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the
production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm
electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses,
including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of
the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this
or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or
additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any
Defect you cause.
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. 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
Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
The Foundation's principal office is in Fairbanks, Alaska, with the
mailing address: PO Box 750175, Fairbanks, AK 99775, but its
volunteers and employees are scattered throughout numerous
locations. Its business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt
Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to

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. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
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 not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
