PREFACE.

The object of this volume is two-fold. It supplies very full and comprehensive vocabularies of the words required by the tourist or traveller, visitor or resident abroad, health or pleasure seeker, and professional or business man, together with a large number of conversational sentences of a typical and practical character. The words and phrases are classified according to subject, and the phonetic pronunciation of every word is added in accordance with Marlborough's simple and popular system of phonetics.

With the aid of this book anyone may undertake a trip to a foreign land, even if he know nothing of the language of the country he is going to, and, if he will put himself beforehand in communication with Esperantists in the various places he intends to visit, he will find them ready to help him in many ways, and his stay abroad will thus be made much more entertaining and instructive than if he had spent his time in the conventional manner of the ordinary tourist. A further great advantage of this international language is, that it opens up to the traveller, not merely one particular country, but the whole of Europe.

The book also aims at affording a practical guide to Esperanto for the student, who will find, in the section on Grammar, all that he needs to give him full insight into and grasp of the language, enabling him with very little effort to read, write and speak correctly.

By joining an Esperanto Group the learner may have frequent opportunity of conversational practice, and he will soon find that it is by no means a difficult matter to become as fluent in the auxiliary language as in his mother-tongue.[1]

Esperanto is not merely a language for tourists, but already possesses a rich literature of considerable extent, the beginnings of that "Weltlitteratur" foreseen by Goethe; it has a press of its own representing every country of importance in the world, and is constantly being made use of for professional purposes by doctors, scientists, teachers, lawyers, soldiers, sailors, merchants, etc., in every quarter of the globe. It is undoubtedly destined, ere many years have passed, to become a very important factor in the progress of the world.

THE ESPERANTO ALPHABET (WITH PHONETIC PRONUNCIATION).

The Esperanto Alphabet has 28 letters--23 consonants, 5 vowels:--

Characters. | Name and English Pronunciation. | Phonetics | | used. | | ------------+---------------------------------------------+----------- A, a | (ah) like a in father or pa; as | | patro (pah'troh). In unaccented syllables | | it should not be dwelt upon, and in all | | cases it should be pronounced quite purely, | | without the slight drawling r-sound which | | is sometimes added to the corresponding | | vowel in English | ah | | B, b | (bo) as in English | b | | C, c | (tsoh) like ts in gets, hits, and | | never as in English; as caro (tsah'roh) | ts | | CX, cx | (cho) like ch in church; as cxasi | | (chah'see) | ch | | D, d | (do) as in English, but with tip of tongue | | placed on back of teeth instead of on front | | ridge of roof of mouth | d | | E, e | (eh) like e in bend pronounced broadly, | | or a in hate shortly pronounced, but | | quite pure, entirely without the slight | | drawling ee-sound often heard after the | | English vowel; as beno (beh'noh) | e, eh | | F, f | (fo) as in English | f | | G, g | (go) like g in go, give, as gasto | | (gah'stoh), and never like g in gem, | | allege | g | | GX, gx | (jo) like g in gem, general, and j | | in jovial; as gxeni (jeh'nee) | j | | H, h | (ho) as in English | h | | HX, hx | (hxo) like ch in Scotch loch, ch in | | German hoch, j in Spanish mujer. This | | guttural sound is practically a very | | strongly aspirated h, and may be made by | | trying to pronounce "ho" with the throat | | arranged as for saying k:--hxoro | | (khoro), hxino (khino) | kh | | I, i | (ee) like ee in seen, as li (lee). In | | unaccented syllables, and before two | | consonants together, this i practically | | becomes the i in it or in wind; as | | ferminte (fehrr-min'teh) | ee, i | | J, j | (yo) *always* like y in yet, as jes | | (yehss), vojo (vo'yo), and never like j | | in judge, joke | y | | | It should be remembered that j is always | | a consonant, with the sound of the English | | y in you. Of course, when j occurs at | | the end of a word or before a consonant, it | | practically unites with the preceding vowel | | to form a diphthong, and loses the full | | consonantal sound which it has before a | | vowel. Thus: | | | | Aj (ahy), like ah y in ah yes (almost | | like y in my); as kaj (kah'y), | | rajdi (rah'y-dee), krajono (krah-yo'no) | ahy | | | Ej (ehy), like ay y in say yes; as | | plej (pleh'y, *one* syllable) | ehy | | | Oj (oy), like oh y in oh yes (almost | | like oy in toy); as ranoj (rah'noy), | | kojno (koy'noh) | oy | | | Uj (ooy), like oo y in too young; as | | tuj (too'y, *one* syllable), prujno | | (proo'yno, *two* syllables) | ooy | | Jx, jx | (zho) like s in vision or pleasure, | | or j in French jeune, j'ai; as jxeti | | (zheh'tee) | zh | | K, k | (ko) as in English | k | | L, l | (lo) as in English | l | | M, m | (mo) as in English | m | | N, n | (no) as in English | n | | O, o | (oh) like o in horse, not | | diphthongized, but pronounced purely and | | rather shortly, as bona (boh'nah NOT | | bow'nah), quite without the short | | oo-sound frequently heard with the | | English vowel in such words as note, | | boat. Its sound is almost equivalent to | | aw in caw, pronounced shortly and with | | the lips placed roundly as if for saying | o, | oh; as estonta (ess-tohn'tah) | oh | | P, p | (po) as in English | p | | R, r | (ro) as in English, but sounded much more | | forcibly, and always with a trill as in | | singing; as korpo (kohr'po) | r | | S, s | (so) like s in say, as suno | | (soo'noh), and *never* as s in rose; as | | pesi (peh'see) | s, ss | | Sx, sx | (sho) like sh in show, she; as | | sxipo (shee'poh) | sh | | T, t | (to) as in English, but dentally--with tip | | of tongue placed on back of teeth instead | | of on front ridge of roof of mouth | t | | U, u | (oo) like oo in boot, as nubo | | (*noo'*boh); and *never* as u in mute | | or but | oo | | Ux, ux | (wo) is equivalent to the English w, and | | is produced by a partial bringing | | together of the lips. It practically only | w, | occurs after a or e | [)o][)o] | | | (1) Aux. To say antaux, for instance, | | say "ahn'tah," and finish by bringing the | | lips slightly together to pronounce the | | ux (w). Similarly for lauxta | | (lah'w-tah). This sound is not exactly the | | English ou in house, but is just the | | au in the German Haus. The phonetic | | sign for aux, therefore is | ahw | | | (2) Eux, as in Euxropo (ehw-ro'poh), is | | pronounced with a similar closing of the | | lips after the eh-sound | ehw | | V, v | (vo) as in English | v | | Z, z | (zo) as in English | z | |

PRELIMINARY NOTES.

In order to make the best progress in acquiring the words and sentences in the following pages, the student is recommended to learn a few at a time by repeating them aloud with the aid of the phonetic pronunciation in the third column.

Although the system of phonetics may seem a little cumbersome, practice will soon enable the student to pronounce the words easily and naturally. The following notes will be useful:--

1. *Accent.*--In Esperanto, *every letter*, whether vowel or consonant, *is sounded*. *The accented syllable of a word is always the last but one.* Thus, nobla (noh'blah), irado (ee-rah'do), telefono (teh-leh-foh'no), internacia (in-tehr-naht-see'ah), folio (fohlee'oh).

It should be borne in mind that j and ux *are consonants*, and do not, like the vowels, of themselves constitute a syllable. Thus, tiu (tee'oo, *two* syllables) and tiuj (tee'ooy, also *two* syllables), rajdi (rah'y-dee, *not* rah-[)i]'dee), antaux (ahn'tahw, *not* ahn-tah'[)o][)o]).

2. *The vowels, a, e, i, o, u, should in Esperanto be pronounced quite purely*, and entirely without any drawling after-sound. Many English speakers diphthongize a, i, o, and pronounce late as "la-it," pale as "pa-il," paper as "pa-y-per," road as "row-d," etc. This habit of drawling the vowels, when transferred to Esperanto, thus: Mi ne povas bone paroli, mee'y nay'ee poh'[)o][)o]-vah(r)ss boh'[)o][)o]-nehy pah(r)-roh'[)o][)o]-leey, immediately reveals the nationality of the speaker.

There is also an inclination to interpose an r-sound between la ("the") and a word beginning with a vowel, thus: la(r)ebleco instead of la ebleco, la(r)internacia lingvo instead of la internacia lingvo, etc. This should be avoided.

3. *Combinations of Consonants.*--There are a few consonantal combinations which offer a slight difficulty to English beginners, viz., gv, kn, kv, sc. The combinations gv, kn, and kv, as in gvidi (gvee'dee), knabo (knah'bo), kvieto (kvee-eh'toh), may be practised by first placing a vowel before the g or k, and gradually suppressing it. Thus, first say la knabo (lahk-nah'bo), and gradually drop the "lah," until finally knabo can be said without difficulty.

The combination sc, as in sceno (stseh'no), may be learnt thus: Say "last sane" several times, very distinctly pronouncing the st and the s, then gradually "'st sane", and finally sceno (stseh'no) without any preceding vowel-sound. When this combination follows a vowel, as in mi scias, it should cause no difficulty, for the s is easily pronounced with the first syllable, thus: meess-tsee'ahss.

ELEMENTARY GRAMMAR.

The Article.

The DEFINITE ARTICLE the is in Esperanto represented by la. Like the article in English, la does not vary with the number or gender of the noun before which it is placed; e.g., la briko, the brick; la brikoj, the bricks; la patro, the father; la patrinoj, the mothers.

The INDEFINITE ARTICLE a is not expressed in Esperanto. Thus, "filo" is son or a son.

The Noun.

In Esperanto every noun in the singular ends in *o*. Thus: viro, a man; la libro, the book. The plural is formed from the singular by adding the termination *-j*. Thus: viroj, men; la libroj, the books.

In order to allow each nation to construct its sentences in the order to which it is accustomed, every noun in Esperanto has two forms or "cases," (1) the NOMINATIVE, or unchanged form, and (2) the ACCUSATIVE, which is formed from the nominative by adding the termination *-n*. This is merely to distinguish between subject and object. The accusative form is also used to indicate motion towards, etc.

The Adjective.

All adjectives end in the nominative singular in *a*. They may be placed either before or after the noun. As in the case of the noun, the plural is formed by adding the termination *-j*, and the accusative is formed by adding *-n* to the nominative. The adjective agrees in number and case with the noun which it qualifies. Ex.:--

Blua libro (or libro blua), a blue book; bluaj libroj, blue books. La viro legas bluan libron. The man reads a blue book. La viroj legas bluajn librojn. The men are reading blue books.

Thanks to the accusative case, one might say without loss of clearness: Bluan libron legas la viro, or la viro bluan libron legas, or bluan libron la viro legas, etc.

Degrees of Comparison.

There are three degrees of comparison, as in English:

The POSITIVE, as bona, good; bela, beautiful; granda, big, great.

The COMPARATIVE is formed by placing pli (more) or malpli (less) before the positive, thus: bona, good--pli bona, better; bela, beautiful--malpli bela, less beautiful. The comparison may be heightened by using multe (much), thus: multe pli (or malpli) bela.

Than is translated by ol, thus: pli (or malpli) bela ol..., more (or less) beautiful than...

The SUPERLATIVE degree is formed by using plej (most) with the positive; as bela, beautiful--plej bela, most beautiful.

Of with a superlative is translated by the preposition el (out of). La plej granda el cxiuj, the greatest of all.

The more...the more, the less...the less, are translated by means of the particles ju and des. Thus: Ju pli oni studas, des pli oni lernas, the more one studies, the more one learns. Ju pli mi kun li parolas, des malpli mi lin estimas, the more I speak to him, the less I esteem him.

Cardinal Numbers.

The CARDINAL NUMBERS may be used as nouns, by the addition of the ending *-o*. Thus, unuo, a unit; trio, a trio; dekduo, a dozen; dudeko, a score; cento, a hundred; milo, a thousand. Note that miliono is ALWAYS used as a noun.

When a number or any other word is used as a noun of quantity, the noun which follows it must be preceded by the quantitative preposition *da*:--Dekduo da ovoj, a dozen eggs; milo da soldatoj, a thousand soldiers (one might of course also say dek du ovoj, mil soldatoj); du metroj da drapo, two metres of cloth; tri funtoj da sukero, three pounds of sugar.

Ordinal Numbers.

The ORDINAL NUMBERS are formed by adding the adjectival ending *-a* to the Cardinals. In Compound Ordinal Numbers, the groups of hundreds, tens, units, etc., are joined by hyphens, and the ending *-a* is added to the unit numeral. Thus: unu, one--unua, first; tria, third; dek-unua, eleventh; tridek-sepa, thirty-seventh; kvarcent-sesdek-dua, 462nd, and so on. Written in figures these would be 1a, 3a, 11a, 37a, 462a. The Ordinals are of course inflected like adjectives. (See section "The Adjective".)

Fractions

FRACTIONALS are formed by adding the suffix *-on* (plus the endings *o*, *a*, or *e* as required) to the Cardinal Numbers. Thus: unu duono, one-half; tri kvaronoj, three-quarters; dek sep dek-nauxonoj, 17/19; dudek tri kvarmil-kvincent-tridek-nauxonoj, 23/4539. Duone vera (or duonvera), half-true. Tri-kvaronoj da funto (or trikvaronfuntoj), 3/4 lb. Duono da funto (or duonfunto), 1/2 lb.

Multiples, Collectives, and Distributives.

MULTIPLE Numbers are formed from the Cardinals by adding the suffix *-obl*, with the requisite grammatical ending *o*, *a*, or *e*. Thus: duobla, double; duoblo, a double; duoble, doubly; tridekoble, thirty-fold; sesoble naux estas (or faras) kvindek kvar, six nines are fifty-four; duoble du estas kvar, twice two are four.

COLLECTIVE Numerals are formed by the addition of the suffix *-op* (plus the grammatical termination required). Thus: duope, two at a time, two together; nauxope, nine at a time; ili venadis dekope, they came in tens; dumilopa tacxmento, a detachment two thousand strong.

DISTRIBUTIVES are shown by the preposition po, meaning at the rate of. Thus: li acxetis por cxiu infano po ses pomoj, he bought six apples for each child; li ricevas po dek sxilingoj por cxiu tago, he gets ten shillings a day; la vagonaro veturas po sesdek mejloj en cxiu horo (or cxiuhore), the train travels at (the rate of) sixty miles an hour, etc.

The Pronoun.

The PERSONAL PRONOUNS are, in the nominative: Mi, I; vi, you (sing. and pl.); ni, we; li, he; sxi, she; gxi, it; ili, they.

The archaic English thou may be translated by ci.

The Accusative case of the personal pronouns is formed like that of nouns and adjectives, by adding *-n*. Thus: Min, me; vin, you; nin, us; lin, him; sxin, her; gxin, it; ilin, them.

The REFLEXIVE PRONOUN of the 3rd person is si (accusative sin), standing for himself, herself, itself, one's-self, or themselves, as the case may be. There is no special reflexive form for the pronouns of the 1st and 2nd person, I, we, and you.

The INDEFINITE PERSONAL PRONOUN is oni (= the French on)--one, people, they, you. Ex.: Li amas sin, he loves himself; sxi amas sin, she loves herself; gxi montras sin, it shows itself; ili diras al si, they say to themselves; oni vidas sin, one sees one's-self; mi lavas min, I wash myself; vi lauxdas vin, you praise yourself.

Possessive Adjectives or Pronouns.

By adding the adjectival ending *-a* to the personal pronouns, the POSSESSIVE Adjectives and Pronouns are obtained. Thus: Mia, my, mine; cia, thy, thine; via, your, yours; nia, our, ours; lia, his; sxia, her, hers; gxia, its; sia (reflexive), his, her(s), its, their(s), one's.

NOTE the following use of sia. In English the sentence, "He saw his friend with his brother," is not clear. Does it mean that he saw his friend (1) with his friend's brother, or (2) with his own brother? In Esperanto, the use of sia makes the meaning quite clear; (1) would be: Li vidis sian amikon kun LIA frato, and (2) would be: Li vidis sian amikon kun SIA frato.

The word mem, meaning -self or -selves, may be added to a personal pronoun to give emphasis. Thus: Konu vin mem, know thyself; li iris mem, he went himself; li mem, himself; li parolis al si mem, he spoke to himself.

Like other adjectives, possessives agree in case and number with the noun to which they refer. Ex.:

lia libro, his book; liaj libroj, his books; sxi havas lian, kaj li havas sxian, she has his, and he has hers; liaj estas la plej bonaj libroj, his are the best books; mi preferas miajn, I prefer mine; li preferas siajn, he prefers his; ili preferas siajn, they prefer theirs.

Demonstrative Adjective or Pronoun.

The DEMONSTRATIVE Adjective and Pronoun "that" is rendered in Esperanto by the word tiu (acc. tiun); plural tiuj (acc. tiujn), those. The addition (either before or after) of the particle cxi to the singular and plural respectively, gives this and these. Ex.:

Tiu viro, that man. Tiu estas mia, that (one) is mine. Mi elektas tiun, I choose that (one). Mi preferas tiun cxi (or cxi tiujn), I prefer this (one). Tiuj cxi (or cxi tiuj) estas miaj, these are mine. Mi portos tiujn cxi, I will carry these.

Interrogative Pronouns.

Kiu?--who, which? Plural, kiuj? Kio?--what? Kies?--whose? Al kiu?--to whom? Kiun?--whom? (acc.), kiujn? (acc. plu.). Ex.:

Kiu estas tiu?--who is that? Kiun vi deziras vidi?--whom do you desire to see? Kiuj foriris?--which (ones) went away? Kiujn vi vidis?--which ones did you see?

Kiu is also used with ADJECTIVAL meaning. Thus: Kiu libro estas via?--which book is yours? Kiun libron vi preferas?--which book do you prefer? Kiuj domoj apartenas al vi?--which houses belong to you? Kiujn stratojn vi konas?--which streets do you know? Kio estas tio?--what is that? Kion li volas?--what does he want?

The English -ever is translated by ajn. For example: Kiu ajn li estas, ne parolu al li, whoever he be, do not speak to him. Kies ajn, whosesoever. Kiu(j)n ajn, whomever.

Relative Pronouns.

The Relative Pronouns are identical with the Interrogative: Kiu(j), who, that, which, kiu(j)n, whom, that, which. Ex.:

La libro, kiun vi legas, the book (which) you are reading. Tiu, kiu parolis al vi, the one who spoke to you. La personoj, kiujn li konas, the persons (whom) he knows. Tio, kion li diras, ne estas vera, what he says is not true. La arbo, kies supron vi vidas, the tree whose top you can see.

Indefinite Pronouns.

iu (acc. iun), anyone, someone or other; ies, anyone's, someone's; iuj (acc. iujn), any persons, some persons or other; io (acc. ion), anything, something.

cxiu (acc. cxiun), everyone, each; cxies, everyone's, everybody's, each one's; cxiuj (acc. cxiujn), everybody, all; cxio (acc. cxion), everything, all.

neniu (acc. neniun), no one, nobody; nenies, no one's, nobody's; nenio (acc. nenion), nothing, not anything.

NOTE.--Iu, cxiu, and neniu are also used with nouns. Thus: Kiun libron vi deziras? Which book do you desire? Iun ajn libron. Any book. Iu homo, any man, some man or other. Cxiu bona patro amas siajn infanojn, every good father loves his children. Cxiuj liaj amikoj (or cxiu lia amiko), all his friends, every friend of his. Mi renkontis neniun amikon, I met no friend.

Other PRONOMINAL WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS are:

multaj(n), many; multo(n), much; malmultaj(n), malmulte da..., a few. Ex.: malmultaj personoj, few persons; malmulte da scio, little knowledge.

kelkajn, some, several; kelke da..., some. Ex.: kelkaj personoj, some persons, several persons; kelke da libroj, some (quantity of) books.

alia(n), another, other; aliaj(n), others. Ex.: ili parolis unu al alia, they spoke to one another; ni parolis unu al la alia, we spoke to each other; unu aux la alia tauxgos, either (one or the other) will do; nek unu nek la alia konvenas, neither (one nor the other) is suitable.

ambaux (invariable), both. Ex.: ambaux venis, both came; mi konas ambaux fratojn, I know both brothers; mi vidis ilin ambaux, I saw both of them; mi sxatas ambaux, I like both.

The Verb.

Tenses.

The VERB in Esperanto has three main Tenses--the Present, Past, and Future. These are denoted by means of the verbal endings *-as*, *-is*, and *-os*. Thus, from the root vid, see, are formed:

Present. | Past. | Future. mi vidas, I see | mi vidis, I saw | mi vidos, I shall see

Moods.

Every Esperanto verb has three Moods--the Conditional, the Imperative, and the Infinitive, which are formed respectively by means of the endings *-us*, *-u*, and *-i*. Thus:

Conditional. | Imperative. | Infinitive. mi vidus, I should see | vidu, see! | vidi, to see

The CONDITIONAL Mood is used to express supposition; the three Tenses, on the other hand, are used to express facts or actual happenings. (For examples, see section "Conjunctions".)

The IMPERATIVE Mood is used to express an order, desire, wish, will, etc. (See section "Use of Imperative".) Used with the personal pronouns of the 1st and 2nd persons, this mood corresponds to the English let, used as an expression of a wish. Thus: mi pensu, let me think; li venu morgaux, let him come to-morrow; ili parolu, let them speak.

NOTE that let sometimes means to allow, to give leave, in which case the verb lasi is used. Thus: let (allow) him come, lasu lin veni; leave it there, lasu gxin tie.

The Imperative may be used interrogatively to translate the English shall, with an idea of wish or desire. Thus:

What shall I give you? Kion mi donu al vi? What shall we do to-day? Kion ni faru hodiaux?

What will he do? would of course be simply Kion li faros?--for there is here no question of desire or wish, but merely a question of future action.

The INFINITIVE Mood is used to express the mere idea of the verb, without any limit of person or number, and corresponds to the English to before the verb. Thus: kuri, to run; paroli, to speak.

NOTE.--In Esperanto, as is largely the case in English, the mood and tense endings of the verb do not vary according to person or number. For instance: mi vidas, I see, li vidas, he sees; also ni vidis, we saw, ili vidis, they saw; vi vidos, you will see; oni vidos, one will see; sxi vidus, she would see, vi vidus, you would see.

Participles.

There are in Esperanto six participles, three active and three passive, corresponding to three tenses. They are formed in the ACTIVE by means of the endings *-ant*, *-int*, and *-ont*, and in the PASSIVE by means of the endings *-at*, *-it*, *-ot*, with the addition of the adjectival termination *-a*. Thus:

ACTIVE. Present. | Past. | Future. vidanta, seeing | vidinta, having-seen | vidonta, about-to-see

PASSIVE. vidata, | vidita, | vidota, (being) seen | (having-been) seen | (about-to-be) seen

The PARTICIPLES may be used either as Nouns, Adjectives, or Adverbs, the terminations *-o*, *-a*, *-e* being added to the participial endings as required. When used as nouns or adjectives, they of course take the sign of the Plural (*-j*) and of the Accusative (*-n*) when the construction of the sentence so requires. Ex.:

(1) ACTIVE. En la venonta jaro, in the coming year. La parolanto, the speaker. La auxskultantoj, the audience (lit., listeners). Mi vidis lin skribantan, I saw him writing. Li foriris kurante, he went off at a run. Li revenis ne vidinte sian amikon, he returned without having seen his friend.

(2) PASSIVE. La ekzamenato, the examinee. La mortigitoj kaj vunditoj, the killed and wounded. Estimata sinjoro, dear (lit., esteemed) sir. Frapote, li sin defendis, about to be struck, he defended himself. Mi auxdis tiun himnon kantatan, I heard that hymn sung.

Compound Tenses.

The COMPOUND TENSES are formed by means of the auxiliary verb *esti*, to be. Thus, by the combination of the participles with the six tenses and moods, we obtain thirty-six compound tenses, enabling us to express with the utmost precision any time-relation whatsoever. We have in all:

li estas, or estis, or estos { vidanta or vidata or estus, or estu, or esti { vidinta or vidita { vidonta or vidota

The use of the participles is very easy when once one grasps the fact that the auxiliary esti serves to denote the particular division of time, or the particular manner, of the occurrence of the action denoted by the participle. Ex.:

Li estis skribanta, kiam mi vidis lin, he was writing when I saw him. Li estis fininta, kiam mia amiko alvenis, he had finished (lit., was having finished) when my friend arrived. Mi estis tuj forironta, kiam vi aperis, I was just about to go out when you appeared. Li estas nunmomente parolanta, he is speaking at this very moment. Li estas mortonta, he is about to die. Li estus jam foririnta, he would have already departed (lit., would be already gone away).

The word by after a Passive is translated by the preposition *de*. Thus: The wood was being chopped by the boy, la ligno estis hakata de la knabo. He has been seen by all, li estas vidita de cxiuj.

NOTE.--The COMPOUND TENSES should not be used if the SIMPLE TENSES suffice to show the meaning clearly. Thus, I have seen him is more neatly expressed by mi jam vidis lin than by mi estas vidinta lin. Li jam foriris might stand for either he had gone or he has gone, according to circumstances, and the context would clearly show which was meant. Li parolas is generally quite right for he is speaking. Li estas parolanta should be used only when it is particularly intended to show that he is actually engaged in the act of speaking.

The Adverb.

In Esperanto, ADVERBS are denoted by the ending *-e*, and may be placed in any position, either before or after the verb. Thus: bela, beautiful--bele, beautifully; vera, true--vere, truly. Li parolas sagxe, he speaks wisely. Li rapide kuras, he runs quickly.

Adverbial Numbers.

ADVERBIAL NUMBERS are formed by adding *-e* to the Cardinals. Thus: unue (1e), firstly; trie (3e), thirdly; sepe (7e), etc.

The Preposition.

In English, one preposition often has many different meanings. In Esperanto, on the contrary, every preposition, with the exception of the word je, has one precise and fixed meaning.

The preposition *je* is the only one in Esperanto without a definite meaning. It sometimes happens that one wishes to use a preposition of some sort or other, but is uncertain just which preposition will precisely express the idea. In such cases je is used. Thus: He laughed at me, li ridis je mi; full of water, plena je akvo; six metres long, longa je ses metroj; fear of him, timo je li, etc.

Je should not be abused. Its too frequent use is a mark of the beginner in the language.

Use of Accusative.

When there is no ambiguity to be feared, the preposition je, and even other prepositions, are often omitted in Esperanto; and the word to which the preposition, if expressed, would have referred is put into the accusative. Thus, instead of saying li ridas je mi (he is laughing at me), one might say li ridas min; similarly, du metrojn alta would stand for alta je du metroj. Gxi kostis je tri sxilingoj is more usually expressed: gxi kostis tri sxilingojn. Mi restis tie dum kvin horoj (I stayed there for five hours) could be: mi restis tie kvin horojn; and so on.

Certain prepositions, viz., antaux, before, cxe, at, en, in, sub, under, sur, on, kontraux, against, super, over, and trans, across, are often used to denote movement towards, whereas of themselves they only express rest at. In order to make it quite clear whether motion or rest is intended, use is made of the accusative. Thus: li promenis en la urbo, he took a walk in the city; but li promenis en la urbon, he took a walk into the city. Li kuris antaux mi, he ran (along) before or in front of me; but li pasxis antaux min, he stepped in front of me; and so on.

ADVERBS are sometimes used with prepositional force. Thus: proksime de la domo, near the house; dekstre de la arbo, on the right of the tree, etc.

The Conjunction.

A full list of CONJUNCTIONS will be found on section 37. The following constructions should be noted:

Tenses after Ke (that).

Mi vidis, ke sxi ploras, I saw (that) she was crying. Mi sciis, ke li venos, I knew that he would come. Mi sciis, ke li jam alvenis, I knew (that) he had already arrived. Li diris, ke se li estus tiel granda, kiel mi, li facile farus tion, he said that if he were as tall as I, he would easily do that.

Note that in Esperanto the verb is put in the exact time or tense used by the speaker. Thus: mi ne sciis, cxu li venos, I did not know whether he would (lit., will) come; ili ne diris, cxu ili vin renkontis, they did not say whether they had met you.

Use of Imperative.

After verbs expressing wish, intention, will, or desire, or command, the verb following is put in the IMPERATIVE MOOD. Thus: mi ordonas, ke li venu, I order that he come (him to come); mi tre deziris, ke li vivu, I very much wanted him to live; ili intencis, ke ni perdu, they intended us to lose. Here the actual expressions used were: li venu, li vivu, ili perdu.

Use of Conditional after Se.

Se vi tiel diris, vi malprave faris, if you spoke thus you did wrongly. Se vi tiel dirus, vi estus malprava, if you said (were to say) thus, you would be wrong. Se vi venos, vi vidos, if you (will) come, you will see.

Interjections.

The following are the principal INTERJECTIONS:

adiaux! adieu! farewell! ah! ah! antauxen! forward! atentu! look out! bis! encore! bone! good! certe! certainly! cxu ne? or cxu ne vere? is not that so? cxu vere? is that so? efektive! indeed! fi! fie! for! away! be off! ha! ha! halt! halt! he! hey! halloo! ho! oh! ho ve! alas! hontinde! shameful! jen! there! kompreneble! naturally! of course! ne! no! neeble! impossible! nu! well! rapide! quick! rapidu! hurry up!

Formation of Words.

In Esperanto, considerable use is made of prefixes and suffixes, every one of which has a clear, fixed meaning. Great economy of vocabulary is thus effected, one root-word in Esperanto sufficing, when modified by suitable affixes, to translate many English words. Many of the affixes are often met with as single words. In such cases the English translation is added after the various examples of the affix in question.

*-igx* denotes a BECOMING, GETTING, GROWING, BEING MADE: hela, bright, heligxi, to grow or become bright; rugxa, red, rugxigxi, to redden, blush; disigxi, to separate (intr.).--Igxi, to become.

With transitive verbs igx- is used to make intransitive verbs, thus: renversi, to overthrow, turn upside down, renversigxi, to turn (intr.) upside down, to get overthrown; fari, to make, farigxi, to become; perdigxi, to get lost; vidigxi, to be seen.

Used with intransitive verbs, igx- gives the idea of a becoming, a GRADUAL TRANSITION from one state to another: morti, to die, mortigxi, to become dead, to die away, to expire; sidi, to be seated, sidigxi, to become seated, to sit down.

NOTE that, since verbs in -igx are of necessity intransitive, their participles should only be used in the ACTIVE FORM. Thus: renversigx*inta*, having become overthrown, and not renversigx*ita*; perdigx*inta*, having become lost, not perdigx*ita*; and so on. One might of course simply say renversita, overthrown, and perdita, lost, though the meaning would in that case not be quite the same.

*-uj* denotes a RECEPTACLE which contains or bears a COLLECTION OR A QUANTITY of things or material (compare -ing above): mono, money, monujo, purse; inko, ink, inkujo, inkstand.--Ujo, a utensil case, bin.

The suffix -uj is also used to denote TREES bearing certain fruits: pomo, apple, pomujo, apple-tree; cxerizujo, cherry-tree; rozujo, rose-bush. The word arbo, however, is more frequently used in such cases: pomarbo, rozarbeto, etc.

-Uj is also used to denote the NAMES OF COUNTRIES: Anglo, Englishman, Anglujo, England; Franco, a Frenchman, Francujo, France. (See footnote 4.)

*-ul* denotes a BEING CHARACTERISED BY THE IDEA CONTAINED IN THE ROOT-WORD: bela, beautiful, belulino, a beautiful woman, a beauty; kulpo, blame, kulpulo, culprit; lauxdindulo, one worthy to be praised; bonulo, a good fellow; bonegulo, a jolly good fellow.

*-um* is an INDEFINITE SUFFIX, like the word je among the prepositions, Thus: pleni, to fill, plenumi, to fulfil (compare plenigi, to fill); kolo, neck, kolumo, collar; aero, air, aerumi, to air (a room, clothes, etc.).

[Words containing -um should be learnt as independent roots.]

Compound Words.

In Esperanto, any word can be combined with any other word or words to form a compound word. Considerable use is made of prepositions for this purpose. The requisite grammatical ending must of course be added in each case. The student should carefully study the following words, and also those given above, and endeavour to form words for himself.[9] Ability to form words readily is absolutely necessary to fluent speech or composition in the language. In the examples given below the component parts of the words are separated by a small stroke ('), but these are of course omitted in ordinary usage:

El'iri, to go out antaux'cxambro, antechamber pri'pensi, to think over, reflect upon preter'pasxi, to pass by per'labori, to earn (gain by working) per'forto, violence tra'vivi, to live through, experience supre'n'iri, to go up, ascend inter'rompi, to interrupt kun'veno, an assembly, meeting al'paroli, to address, accost inter'rilati, to relate one with another inter'rilatoj, inter-relations inter'nacia, international skrib(o)'tablo, writing-table dorm(o)'cxambro, bedroom naz'tuko, handkerchief ter'tremo, earthquake glit'iri, to skate glit'veturilo, a sleigh pied'ir'anto, a pedestrian bru'fermi, to slam facil'mova, agile, easy-moving hom'amo, philanthropy bon'far'anto, benefactor strat'lanterno, street-lamp bot'far'isto, bootmaker sam'profesi'anoj, members of the same profession cxio'potenca, all-powerful libr'amanto, a book-lover doktor'edzino, doctor's wife mon'akir'ilo, a means of getting money cxio'n'faranta, all-doing alt'anima, high-souled vivi'pova, capable of life ali'landulo, foreigner ali'maniere, in another way tiu'speca, of that kind

MONEY, WEIGHTS & MEASURES.

MONEY. (Mono.)

The following tables will be found useful:

English Money, with French, German and Italian Equivalents.

ENGLISH. | FRENCH. | GERMAN. | ITALIAN. -------------+-------------+-------------+----------- L. s. d. | Fr. C. | Mark Pf. | Lire Cent. 50 0 0 | 1250 00 | 1000 00 | 1260 00 10 0 0 | 250 00 | 200 00 | 252 00 5 0 0 | 125 00 | 100 00 | 126 00 4 0 0 | 100 00 | 80 00 | 100 80 1 0 0 | 25 00 | 20 00 | 25 20 16 0 | 20 00 | 16 00 | 20 16 10 0 | 12 50 | 10 00 | 12 60 5 0 | 6 25 | 5 00 | 6 30 4 0 | 5 00 | 4 00 | 5 04 2 6 | 3 12.5 | 2 50 | 3 15 1 0 | 1 25 | 1 00 | 1 25 6 | 62.5 | 50 | 62 5 | 52 | 41 | 52 4 | 41 | 33 | 41 1 | 10 | 8 | 10 0-1/2 | 5 | 4 | 5

French, German and Italian Money, with English Equivalents.

FRENCH. ENGLISH. | GERMAN. ENGLISH. | ITALIAN. ENGLISH. -----------------------+--------------------+--------------------------- L. s. d. | s. d. | L. s. d. 50 francs = 2 0 0 | 1 mark = 1 0 | 50 lire = 1 19 8 20 " = 16 0 | 8 pfennig = 1 | 20 " = 16 0 5 " = 4 0 | 4 " = 1/2 | 5 " = 4 0 1 franc = 10 | | 1 lira = 9-1/2 10 centimes = 1 | | 10 centesimi = 1 5 " = 1/2 | | 5 " = 1/2

Considerable use is also made by Esperantists of the International Auxiliary Money-unit (Internacia Helpa Mono) introduced by M. Rene de Saussure, of the Internacia Scienca Asocio, Geneva. The unit is the Speso, equivalent to one-tenth of a farthing in English money.

10 spesoj (abbr. 10 s.) = 1 spesdeko (1 sd.) = 1/4d. 100 spesdekoj (100 sd.) = 1 spesmilo (1 sm.) = 2s. 0d. 1 sm. = 100 sd. = 1,000 s.

The approximate values of 10 spesmiloj in terms of the various national units are as follows: 10 spesmiloj = 25 francs = 20 shillings = 20 marks = 5 dollars = 24 Austrian kroner = 18 Scandinavian kroner = 12 Dutch florins = 9-1/2 roubles = 4-1/2 Portuguese milreis = 9 Brazilian milreis = 5 pesetas = 9-3/4 yen.

The chief point to remember is that 1 spesmilo equals 2 shillings, and 1 spesdeko equals approximately 1 farthing.

WEIGHTS & MEASURES. (Pezoj kaj Mezuroj.)

The Metric System is the one in general use among Esperantists. The following table shows the essential decimal character of the system:

Parts. Length. Weight. Capacity. One-thousandth. Milimetro. Miligramo. Mililitro. One-hundredth. Centimetro. Centigramo. Centilitro. One-tenth. Decimetro. Decigramo. Decilitro. ONE. METRO (unit). GRAMO (unit). LITRO (unit). Ten. Dekametro. Dekagramo. Dekalitro. Hundred. Hektometro. Hektogramo. Hektolitro. Thousand. Kilometro. Kilogramo. Kilolitro.

MEASURES OF LENGTH. (Mezuroj de Longeco.)

English. Esperanto. 1 inch = 2.54 centimetroj 1 foot (12 in.) = 30.48 " 1 yard (3 ft.) = 91.43 " 1 furlong (220 yds.) = 201 metroj 1 mile (1760 yds.) = 1.61 kilometroj 5 miles = 8.05 "

Esperanto. English. 1 centimetro = 0.394 (1/3) inch 1 decimetro = 3.94 inches 1 metro = 39.37 in. (3 ft. 3-1/3 in.) 1 hektometro = 109 yds. 1 ft. 1 kilometro = 1093 yds. (5/8 mile) 5 kilometroj = 3 miles 220 yds.

WEIGHTS. (Pezoj.)

English. Esperanto. 1 ounce... = 28 gramoj 1 lb. (16 oz.) = 453 " 1 stone (14 lb.) = 6 kilo. 345 gr. 1 quarter (28 lb.) = 12 kilo. 690 gr. 1 cwt. (112 lb.) = 50 kilo. 750 gr. 1 ton (20 cwt.) = 1015 kilogramoj

Esperanto. English. 1 gramo = .0357 (1/30) oz. (15.432 gr.) 1 hektogramo = 3-1/2 oz. 1 kilogramo = 2.2 lb. 5 kilogramoj = 11 lb. 1000 " = 19 cwt. 2 qr. 23 lb.

LIQUIDS. (Fluidajxoj.)

English. Esperanto. 1 pint = 0.57 litro 1 quart (2 pints) = 1.14 litroj 1 gallon (4 quarts) = 4.54 " 1 barrel (36 gallons) = 160.32 " 1 hogshead (54 gall.) = 240.48 "

Esperanto. English. 1 litro = 1.76 (1-3/4) pints (0.22 gall.) 5 litroj = 1 gallon 1 pint 1 hektolitro = 22 gallons 1 kilolitro = 220 "

AREA. (Areo.)

English. Esperanto. 1 sq. inch = 6.45 kvadrataj centimetroj 1 sq. foot = 9.29 " decimetroj 1 sq. yard = 83.6 " decimetroj 1 acre = 4046.78 kv. metroj

Esperanto. English. 1 centiaro (1 kv. metro) = 1.196 sq. yd. 1 aro (100 kv. metroj) = 0.099 rood 1 hektaro (10,000 kv. metroj) = 2.471 acres

The following Esperanto translations of English units are sometimes needed: Colo, inch; futo, foot; jardo, yard; mejlo, mile; unco, ounce; funto, pound; ekro, acre.

POSTAGE.

The postage on LETTERS from the United Kingdom to foreign countries (except Egypt and the United States) is 2-1/2d. for 1 ounce, and 1-1/2d. for each succeeding ounce or fraction thereof; POSTCARDS, 1d.; NEWSPAPERS, 1/2d. for every 2 ounces; COMMERCIAL PAPERS, 2-1/2d. for the first 10 ounces, and 1/2d. per 2 ounces thereafter. Special Coupons for PREPAYMENT OF REPLY are issued in connection with many countries.

NOTES

[1] Any information as to Esperanto groups, literature, etc., may be obtained on application to The British Esperanto Association, 142, High Holborn, London, W.C. 1.

[2] The names of trees and bushes are formed by adding the suffix -uj (or simply -arbo, tree) to the root denoting the fruit or flower. E.g., pruno, plum--prunujo or prunarbo, plum-tree; marono, chestnut--maronujo, maronarbo, chestnut-tree; rozo, rose--rozujo, rozarbeto, rose-bush.

[3] See section "The Noun."

[4] Where a country is called after its inhabitants, the Esperanto name for it is formed by adding the suffix *-uj* (= that which contains, see section "Suffixes") or *-lando* (land) to the root denoting the inhabitant. Thus: Belg-o, Belgian--Belg-ujo, Belgium; Brito, Briton--Grandbritujo, Great Britain; Sviso, a Swiss--Svisujo, Switzerland; or Belgolando, Skotlando, Anglolando, Svislando, etc. Where the name of the inhabitants is formed from that of the country, use is made of the suffix *-ano* (= member of). Thus: Euxropo, Europe--Euxropano, European; Irlando, Ireland--Irlandano, Irishman.

[5] See *-an*, section "Suffixes".

[6] See section "Participles".

[7] See section "Suffixes".

[8] See section "Suffixes".

[9] For this purpose the small penny Esperanto "key," which contains the fundamental roots of the language, will be found useful. It may be obtained of any Esperanto bookseller.

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 concept and trademark. Project Gutenberg is a registered trademark, 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 with public domain eBooks. Redistribution is subject to the trademark license, especially commercial redistribution.

Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed 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 Michael Hart, 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 public domain works 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 F3. 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 MERCHANTIBILITY 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, is 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 web page at http://www.pglaf.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. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at http://pglaf.org/fundraising. 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 located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. Fairbanks, AK, 99712., 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 business@pglaf.org. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official page at http://pglaf.org

For additional contact information: Dr. Gregory B. Newby Chief Executive and Director gbnewby@pglaf.org

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 http://pglaf.org

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: http://pglaf.org/donate

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

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

Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:

http://www.gutenberg.org

This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
