DE LATINO SINE FLEXIONE

LINGUA AUXILIARE INTERNATIONALE

Lingua latina fuit internationalis in omni scientia, ab imperio
Romano, usque ad finem saeculi XVIII. Hodie multi reputant
illam nimis difficilem esse, iam in scientia, magis in
commercio.

Sed non tota lingua latina est necessaria; parva pars sufficit
ad exprimendam quamlibet ideam.

§ 1.—Casus.

«Nominum casus semper eliminari possunt
substitutis in eorum locum particulis quibusdam».

LEIBNIZ. Ed. Couturat a. 1901, p. 67.

Lingua latina exprimit nominum casus cum praepositionibus
«de, ad, ab, ex, …» et cum postpositionibus vel desinentiis.
Prima methodus sufficit; ipsa sola invenitur in latino populare,

a quo derivant linguae neolatinae, ut italica, franca,
hispanica, etc.

Sumimus nomen inflexibile sub forma simpliciore, quae est
ablativus, vel nominativus, vel alia.

Indicamus genitivo cum de, dativo cum ad, ablativo cum
ab, ex, … Accusativo indicatur cum constructione, ut in linguis
neolatinis, scilicet cum serie: nominativo—verbo—accusativo,
vel cum serie: qui-accusativo—nominativo—verbo.

Vocabulario latino commune continet nominativo et genitivo
de nomen. Regula commoda haec est:

«Sumimus nomen inflexibile

a) aut identico ad nominativo,

b) aut nominativo, mutata desinentia

-us,

-um,

-u,

-es

in

-o,

-o,

-o,

-e,

c) aut genitivo, mutata desinentia -i in -o, -is in -e.

d) ad nominativo

ego,

tu,

aliquis,

responde (ablativo)

me,

te,

aliquo.

»

Regula a) producit nulla ambiguitate, quae iam non sit in
latino.

Regulae b) c) d) brevi exprimunt formatione de ablativo, cum
reductione de 4-a declinatione ad 2-a, et cum reductione ad
forma unica de 3-a declinatione.

§ 2.—Genere masculino, feminino et neutro.

«Discrimen generis nihil pertinet ad
grammaticam rationalem».

LEIBNIZ.

Nomen isolato non habet genere. Quum volumus indicare
ille, scribemus explicite “mas, femina”.

Ita “mater est bona” fit “mater est femina bono”; sed
idea de femina iam continetur in mater; igitur post simplificatione(1):
“mater est bono”.

Indicatione de genere evanescit saepe in lingua scientifica.

In lingua familiare sufficit conservare genere in uno pronomen
“is, ea, id”, vel in antiquo “hi, hae, ho”.

§ 3.—Numero singulare et plurale.

«Videtur pluralis inutilis in lingua
rationali».

LEIBNIZ.

Nomen isolato non habet numero. Ad indicando ille scribemus
explicite “uno, plure”.

Ex.

“unum os habemus et duas aures”

fit

“habemus uno uno ore, et duo plure aure”,

et post simplificatione logico “uno uno” = “uno”, et “duo plure”
= “duo”, nam “duo” continet idea de “plure”, propositio

fit:

“habemus uno ore et duo aure”.

Ex. “Omne homo est mortale, aliquo homo est nigro,
multo homo est pauper, pauco homo est divite, plure homo est
sapiens”.

Propositione:

“Romani eligebant duo consules”

fit

“Populo Romano eligebat duo consule”.

§ 4.—Conjugatione de verbo.

«Personae verborum possunt esse invariabiles,
sufficit variari ego, tu,
ille, etc.».

LEIBNIZ.

Lingua latino habet discurso directo, ut:

“Amicitia inter malos esse non potest”

et discurso indirecto:

“(Verum est) amicitiam inter malos esse non posse”.

Si nos utimur semper de discurso indirecto, in verbo evanescit
desinentia de persona, de modo, et saepe de tempore.

Sumimus ergo nomen inflexibile, per persona modo et tempore,
sub forma magis simplice, qui es imperativo, activo et
passivo. Regula es:

«a) Ad forma inflexibile

“es,

pote,

vol,

fi”

responde infinito

“esse,

posse,

velle,

fieri”.

b) Ad forma inflexibile de alio verbo adde -re, et te habe
infinito, ut es in vocabulario latino.

c) Ad verbo activo adde -re, et te habe passivo.

d) Nos transforma verbo deponente in activo».

(Verbo “vol, dice, duce, face”, et regula d) non es exacto
latino classico).

Nos indica persona cum “me, te, nos …”, modo cum “si,
ut, quod, …”, tempore cum “heri, jam, in passato, nunc, cras,
in futuro, vol, debe, …”.

Ex. “Me scribe.—Vos lege.—Cras me i ad Roma.—Cras
me, postquam veni ad Roma, scribe ad te.—Heri me lege
dum te scribe et antequam Petro veni.—Si te narra, nos audi.—Ut
te vale.”

§ 5.—Altero reductione de desinentia de verbo.

Exsta aequalitate logico:

lauda-nte

=

qui lauda

lauda-ndo

=

dum lauda

lauda-to

=

qui aliquo lauda

(hoc es: “quem aliquis laudat”, juxta regula de § 1)

lauda-turo

=

qui lauda in futuro

Petro lauda-re ab Paulo

=

Paulo lauda Petro.

Si in loco de primo membro de uno ex hic aequalitate nos
scribe secundo, omne desinentia evanesce.

Sed aliquo desinentia, et non necessario, pote es utile, ut
“-nte, -to”, desinentia “-vi, -bi” de passato et de futuro, et
forma neolatino: “habe ama-to, es ama-to, …”.

§ 6.—Vocabulario.

Vocabulario latino commune suffice ut nos traduce hic
lingua. Sed si plure auctore adopta “latino sine flexione”,
tunc es utile publicatione de proprio vocabulario, qui:

1) Contine nomen et verbo, solo sub forma inflexibile.

2) Contine vocabulo internationale, ut “metro, dyne, …”.

3) Elige suo voce ex toto latinitate, etiam ex latino populare.
Igitur nos posse sume regula:

«Omne voce qui pertine ad duo lingua neolatino, p. ex.
italo et franco, es latino».

4) Simplifica derivatione et compositione de vocabulo.

De ultimo subiecto me hic breviter dice.

a) Substantivo diminutivo: “hortulo = parvo horto”, etc.

b) Substantivo abstracto ex adiectivo vale adiectivo. Ex.
“bonitas = bono”, “altitudo = alto”.

c) Adiectivo qui deriva ab sustantivo vale genitivo: “aureo
= de auro”, “vitulino = de vitulo”, “Romano = de Roma”,
“chartaceo = ex charta”, “animoso = cum animo”.

d) Substantivo abstracto ex verbo vale verbo.

“Laudatio” = italico “il lodare” = anglo “to laud”,
vel simpliciter “laud”.

“Vita est cogitatio” fi “vivere est cogitare”, in discurso
indirecto (§ 4) “vivere esse cogitare”, post reductione
ad radice: “vive es cogita”.

Ita “amor = ama”, “gaudio = gaude”, …

e) “Lauda-tore = qui lauda”, vel “qui sole lauda”.

f) Adiectivo verbale: “erra-bundo = qui saepe erra”,
“tim-ido = qui sole time”, “mord-ace = qui sole morde”,
“ama-bile = qui aliquo pote ama”.

g) Adverbio extracto ex adiectivo vale adiectivo. Ita in
latino classico “brevi, raro, …” es adiectivo et adverbio.

h) In modo simile ad “ne-sci, ne-fasto, n-ullo” nos forma:
“ne-facile = difficile” “ne-digno = indigno” “ne-normale
= abnormale” “ne-es = de-es” “ne-multo = pauco”, etc.

i) Alio praefixo, p. ex. “ab”, indica oppositione.

j) In modo simile ad “agricola = agro-colente” “homicidio
= homo-caede”, lice scribe: “auro-corona = corona de
auro”, “me-patre = meo patre”, etc.

Lingua sinense habe omne hic simplificatione, et alio.

§ 7.—Pronuntia de latino.

Pronuntia de latino non es uniforme in diverso populo.
Forma meliore es antiquo:

ce, ci

ut italo

che, chi,

franco

que, qui,

germano

ke, ki.

ge, gi

»

ghe, ghi,

»

gue, gui,

»

ge, gi.

ti

»

ti, non zi.

y ut franco u, germano ü.

ae ut e aperto, franco è, germano ä.

oe ut franco eu, germano ö (hoc es conventione).

th ut anglo th, graeco moderno θ.

ph, sono producto quando nos suffla flamma. (Deriva ex graeco
antiquo φ; graeco moderno pronuntia f).

ch, ut germano ch, etrusco c.

h, aspirato, ut germano.

rh, ut franco r.

qu sona ut cu in neolatino; hic duo syllaba es
differente et in positione, et in pronuntiatione antiquo(2).

Omne alio litera ut in italo.

HISTORIA

Quum plure populo es in reciproco contacto, per ratione
de politica, scientia et commercio, semper se manifesta necessitate
de inter-lingua.

Diverso populo, sub imperio Romano, adopta latino populare,
qui es latino cum simplificatione de caso (§ 1).

Populo Saxone, in contacto cum Anglo, forma lingua anglo
moderno, qui contine simplificatione de caso (§ 1), de genere (§ 2),
et in parte simplificatione de persona et de modo (§ 4).
Lingua anglo tende ad perdita de omne flexione et ad monosyllabismo.

Ita, in tempore historico, ori “Lingua franca” in porto de
Mediterraneo, “Pidgin” in Sina, “Urdu” in India, etc.

Hodie omne homo de Europa et de America, qui habe
plure relatione cum extero, clama lingua internationale. Nam
suffice lingua nationale ad qui habe solo relatione nationale.
Conoscentia de tres aut quatuor lingua principale suffice ut
nos lege, in originale aut in versione omne libro jam celebre.
Sed hodie Russo, Polacco, Rumeno, Japonico, … publica in suo
lingua libro originale, et non solo libro scholastico.

Adoptio, ut inter-lingua, de lingua vive-nte, non es possibile,
per causa de politica.

Plure homo propone latino classico. Vide:

Prof. A. Valdarnini de universitate de Bologna, Necessità
d'una lingua internazionale e lo studio del latino, in “Primo
congresso internazionale latino”, Roma a. 1903.

Hic congresso exopta:

«ut sermo latinus inter gentes universas communis habeatur,
et adhibeatur ad humanitatis commercium fovendum,
augendum, tenendum».

Ibi congressista loque neolatino, ut italico, franco, provenzale,
rumeno et castellano, raro latino classico.

Et periodico “Phenix” in London, “Praeco latinus” in
Philadelphia, “Vox urbis” in Roma sustine idem idea; sed
primo mori in anno 1892, et secundo in 1902. Ergo adoptio
de latino fi semper minus probabile.

Multo auctore, in vario tempo, propone lingua plus vel
minus artificiale.

Vir doctissimo, L. Couturat professore in Universitate de
Toulouse, in libro La Logique de Leibniz, Paris a. 1901 p. 608,
expone:

Ars magna de R. Lulle a. 1234–1315,

Ars magna sciendi de Kircher a. 1669,

Ars signorum de Dalgarno a. 1661,

Philosophical language de Wilkins a. 1668.

Postea Leibniz diffuse et profunde stude hic subjecto; sed
nihil publica. Suo studio mane sepulto in bibliotheca de Hannover,
usque ad nostro die; primo Dr Vacca in RdM., postea
Couturat in libro citato detege et publica parte de hic manuscripto.
Suo importantia magis pate, et denique L. Couturat
publica «Opuscules et fragments inédits de Leibniz», Paris a.
1903, p. XVI–682, qui contine studio de Leibniz, summe praetioso
per constructione de Vocabulario philosophico.

Libro, nunc edito, L. Couturat et L. Leau Histoire de la
langue universelle, Paris a. 1903 p. XXI+571, expone 56 projecto
de lingua artificiale.

Me hic breve loque de magis noto.

Schleyer, parrocho, in anno 1881 publica «Volapük»,
qui es transformatione de lingua anglo, ut ipse dice.

Hic lingua regularisa declinatione de nomen, et conjugatione
de verbo; sed introduce nullo simplificatione rationale,
qui Leibniz propone. Ille contine immenso numero de conventione.
Volapük sume in principio multo diffusione. In anno
1888 habe 283 club, et 25 periodico, in omne parte de terra.
Plure conventione produce discordia inter sectatore, et post
congresso de Paris, in anno 1889, hic lingua decade et mori.

Zamenof, doctore in medicina, in anno 1887, publica «Esperanto»,
qui contine simplificatione de genere (§ 2), de persona
(§ 4). Sed non contine simplificatione de caso (§ 1), de numero
(§ 3) et de modo (§ 5). Esperanto reduce toto grammatica ad 16
regula, de qui nullo es necessario.

Et Esperanto contine magno numero de conventione, etsi
minus quam Volapük, et in grammatica, et in vocabulario.

Esperanto habe hodie 9 periodico; jam plure sectatore
propone simplificatione; ille seque via de Volapük.

Et notato-digno es «Langue bleue» de L. Bollack. Ibi, ex
numero de littera, nos vide si voce es vacuo, vel pleno, ut in
sinense.

Nunc me loque de projecto cum pauco novo conventione.

«Lingua» de Henderson, a. 1888, es vocabulario latino,
cum grammatica de typo Anglo.

Dr Daniel Rosa simplifica idea de Henderson, et publica
«Le nov-latin»(3). Ille dice:

«Le nov-latin non requirer pro le sui adoption aliq congress.
Omnes poter, cum les praecedént regulas, scriber statim
ist lingua. … Sic faciént ils vol valide cooperar ad le universal
adoption de ist international lingua et simul ils vol poter
star legé ab un mult major numer de doctes quam si ils haber
scribé in quilibet alter vivént lingua».

Ex hoc resulta quod Novlatin conserva pauco flexione (plurale
in -s, 2 participio, …), et es quam proximo ad “lingua rationale”
de Leibniz et ad “latino sine flexione”.

Domino George J. Henderson, in periodico, «The lingua
franca of the future», qui ille dirige, a. 1901, perfectiona suo
projecto, et dice:

«Quare debe-nos non facere ex i Latine Lingue i Internationale
Lingue?

«I Latine Lingue esse nimis difficile. Post decem annes
de studere, pauce discipules pote, legere facile, vel scribere
accurate, vel loquere aliquantulum i Latine Lingue.»

(I articulo, plurale in -s, desinentia -e, …)

Societate, qui habe nomen “Akademi internasional de
lingu universal” adopta vocabulo magis internationale, et post
multo studio et discussione, in a. 1902, publica “Idiom neutral”.

«Idiom neutral es usabl no sole pro scribasion, ma et pro
parlation.»

Ergo, principio de maximo internationalitate duce ad
vocabulo latino.

“The American Philosophical Society” in an. 1887, pro
formatione de inter-lingua, propone abolitione de articulo (ut
in latino et in russo), de flexione de adjectivo, de caso de nomen,
de persona et modo de verbo, et, in modo dubitativo,
abolitione de plurale de nomen, et tempo de verbo.

Quaestio de inter-lingua nihil habe hodie commune cum
ideographia, qui nos adopta in «Formulario mathematico».

Ideographia es synthese; cum auxilio de pauco idea primitivo,
circa decem, ille compone idea complexo; ita hodie cum
ideographia nos pote scribe toto mathematica, sed mathematica
solo.

Lingua artificiale es analyse. Ille decompone idea de lingua
commune in alio idea plus simplice.

Si in futuro analyse et synthese invicem conveni, ut duo
exercito de minatore, qui labora tunnel ex duo extremitate, tunc
«Lingua rationale» et «Characteristica universale» de Leibniz
fore idem.

Délégation pour l'adoption d'une langue auxiliaire internationale,
qui porta firma de numeroso scientiato de plure universitate,

«Lingua auxiliaria internationale

«1. posse servi ad relatione de vita sociale, de commercio,
et de scientia et philosophia.

«2. Omne homo, qui habe instructione elementare medio,
facile disce hic lingua.

«3. Hic lingua es proprio ad nullo natione.»

Prof. L. Couturat explica hic idea in opusculo: «Pour la
langue internationale» a. 1901. Periodico Revue des questions
scientifiques, Bruxelles a. 1902, t. 1, p. 547–586 reproduce
scripto de Couturat, cum observatione de P. P. Peeters. Couturat
responde in t. 2, pag. 213–230. Nullo objectione de Peeters
vale per “Latino sine flexione”.

CONCLUSIONE

Articulo, qui praecede, proba quod flexione de nomen et de
verbo non es necessario.

«Se, invece di dizionario latino, noi cercare ogni parola
in dizionario italiano, noi scrivere in italiano senza flessione.»

Articulo, qui seque, contine versione litterale de plure
propositione Germano et Anglo. Ille proba, quod suppressio de
omne flexio non redde discurso magis longo.

Aliquo auctore introduce numero negativo, fracto et imaginario,
ut applicatione de regula, qui ille dice “principio de
permanentia”. Hic principio varia aliquanto prope diverso
auctore.

Prof. Schubert, in Encyclopädie der Mathematischen Wissenschaften,
t. 1, p. 11, expone hic principio sub forma claro
sed erroneo. Ille dice:

«Princip der Permanenz in viererlei besteht:

«erstens darin, jeder Zeichen-Verknüpfung, die keine der
bis dahin definierten Zahlen darstellt, einen solchen Sinn
zu erteilen, dass die Verknüpfung nach denselben Regeln
behandelt werden darf, als stellte sie eine der bis dahin definierten
Zahlen dar;

«zweitens darin, eine solche Verknüpfung als Zahl im erweiterten
Sinne des Wortes zu definieren und dadurch den
Begriff der Zahl zu erweitern;

«drittens darin, zu beweisen, dass für die Zahlen im erweiterten
Sinne dieselben Sätze gelten, wie für die Zahlen
im noch nicht erweiterten Sinne;

«viertens darin, zu definieren, was im erweiterten Zahlengebiet
gleich, grösser und kleiner heisst».

Versione:

«Principio de permanentia ex quatuor articulo consta:

«1. ad omne signo-reunione(4) qui non repraesenta numero
qui nos ante defini, nos tribue tale senso, ut nos posse tracta
reunione juxta idem regula, velut si hic reunione repraesenta
numero, qui nos ante defini;

«2. nos defini hic reunione ut numero, in lato senso de
vocabulo, et ita nos extende idea de numero;

«3. nos demonstra quod per numero in lato senso omne
theorema vale, ut per numero in non lato senso;

«4. nos defini, quod in campo de numero lato nos voca
aequale, maiore et minore».

Si omne regula et omne theorema super numero in senso
non lato subsiste super numero in senso lato, necesse es ut
numero in senso lato es identico ad numero in senso non lato. Nam
duo ente es inter se aequale, si omne proprietate de uno es quoque
proprietate de alio. Hoc es ipse definitione de aequalitate:

«Eadem sunt quorum unum in alterius locum substitui
potest, salva veritate» (Leibniz, vide Formulario § 2, P4·3)
quod me traduce: «Plure ente es idem, si nos posse substitue
uno de ille in loco de altero, et veritate (de propositione) es salvo».

Quum nos trans-i ab uno specie de numero ad specie magis
lato, semper debe omitte aliquo proprietate.

Relatione a + b > a
es vero per numero absoluto, falso per numero cum signo.

Si nos trans-i ab numero imaginario simplice ad quaternione,
nos omitte proprietate commutativo de producto.

Ergo definitione, qui nostro auctore da de 0, de numero
negativo, de fracto, etc. basa super principio absurdo. Hic definitione
non es legitimo.

Nos repete idem critica ad Elementare Arithmetik und
Algebra de ipse Prof. Schubert (Leipzig a. 1899, pag. 33) qui
enuntia ipse principio cum primo et secundo articulo.

Hankel, Theorie der Complexen Zahlensysteme, Leipzig,
a. 1867, quum nancisce «principio de permanentia de lege formale»,
dice in pagina 5:

«Wenn b > c ist, … die Subtraction ist … unmöglich. Nichts
hindert uns jedoch, dass wir in diesem Falle die Differenz
(c − b) als ein Zeichen ansehen, welches die Aufgabe [(c − b) + b = c]
löst und mit welchem genau so zu operiren ist, als wenn es
eine numerische Zahl aus der Reihe 1, 2, 3 … wäre».

Versione: «Si b > c es, subtractione es ne-possibile. Nihil
obsta tamen, quod nos in hic caso considera differentia (c − b)
ut signo, qui resolve quaestio, et cum qui exacte nos debe
opera, ut si ille numero ex serie 1, 2, 3, … es».

Contra hic modo de ratiocinio Gauss antea dice:

«Quodsi quis dicat, triangulum rectilineum aequilaterum
rectangulum impossibile esse, nemo erit qui neget. At si tale
triangulum impossibile tanquam novum triangulorum genus
contemplari, aliasque triangulorum proprietates ad illud applicare
voluerit, ecquis risum teneat? Hoc esset verbis ludere seu
potius abuti». (Formul. pag. 219). Versione:

«Si aliquo dice quod triangulo rectilineo aequilatero rectangulo
impossibile es, nemo tunc es qui nega. Sed si aliquo
velle contempla tale triangulo impossibile tanquam novo genere
de triangulo, et applica ad illo omne alio proprietate de
triangulo, an qui tene riso? Hoc es lude cum verbo, vel potius
abute».

Prof. Christal, Algebra, Edinburgh a. 1889, p. 6, re-dice
idea de Hankel:

«Assuming that the quantity +a − b always exists, we may
show that the laws of commutation and association hold».

Versione:

«Si nos assume quod quantitas +a − b semper existe, posse
monstra quod lege de commutatio et associatio mane».(5)

Hoc es, si nos assume absurdo, non solo nos posse deduce
lege de commutatione, sed omne lege qui nos velle, nam ex
absurdo omne consequentia deriva.

Non sub forma de principio absoluto, sed sub forma de consilio,
lice quod nos dice:

«Quum nos introduce novo calculo, es multo utile quod

nos sume nomenclatura et notatione ita ut novo calculo fie
quam maxime simile ad calculo antiquo».

Me dice «quam maxime simile»; «identico» es absurdo.

Ita Algebra, qui indica cum idem signo +, ×, = … operatione
non solo inter numero integro, sed etiam inter fracto, es
magno progresso super longo methodo de antiquo graeco; Algebra
reduce toto libro X de Euclide, noto per magnitudine et
difficultate, ad uno pagina, qui professore sole doce in uno
lectione in Instituto tecnico (Vide Formul. p. 111).

In saeculo ultimo plure auctore indica cum idem signo +,
sive summa de algebra, sive resultante de vectore, et ita construe
Calculo geometrico, qui in respecto ad Geometria, es idem
progresso quam Algebra in respecto de Arithmetica graeco.

Tunc principio de permanentia idem es ac principio generale
de oeconomia, qui subsiste in linguistica, didactica et politica,
ut demonstra E. Mach, in capitulo de «natura oeconomico
de progresso physico» de Populär-wissenschaftliche Vorlesungen, Leipzig a. 1903.

material from the Google Print project.)

Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions
will be renamed.

Creating the works from public domain print editions 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 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.

Section 1. General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
electronic works

1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm

all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.

1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works. See paragraph 1.E below.

1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the
collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an
individual work is in the public domain 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 that you will support the Project
Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.

1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in
a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check
the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, 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 country outside the United
States.

money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the

both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark. Contact the

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 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 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, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
particular state visit 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.

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.
