or On-gee-nay in Sauteux (the On- pronounced as in french & not
English), by which
it would seem as if they meant he was afflicted or chastised
for his own sins, or those of some
of his or her, near relatives, i.e. father, mother &c. if
children: if grown up & married persons,
for their own. Whether they only imagine this, or are informed
of it by conjuring, private infor-

... (52) ...

information from their Familiars, or from the Symptoms of the
Sick person &c. &c. I cannot say,
but the thus afflicted person must confess his Sins publickly.
Now in these confessions as in
all their other discourses or conversations (initiating &
giving of medicines, excepted) they use no
circumlocution, no secret or enigmatical word or term, to
screen themselves; but all is de-
livered in plain terms & before every one that chuses to hear:
These confessions are ter-
rible things; & they seem far more sincere & complete than
those of many catholics.
—They have wonderful retentive memories, & no scene, no crime
from their earliest
years unto that day do they hide. But Great God! what
abominations!—one would
scarcely imagine the human mind capable of inventing such
infamously dia-
bolical actions as some do commit: murder, incest, & other
things if possible an
hundred fold more debasing the human Soul. Whether they repent
of these things neither
can I say, but it would appear as if they were the acts of a
contrite & most humbly
penitant Soul. I have never had an opportunity of hearing these
from their own mouths,
but other indians have told me of them, & tho' before their
families sometimes, have never
omitted one single circumstance from the suggestions of the
idea down to the very
last conclusion. When I heard of these things at first, I would
not beleive them; but hearing
them come so circumstantially I trembled for the Land I
sojourned in "lest it should
vomit me out as the land of Canaan did its inhabitants" "or be
swallowed up in
its destruction as Sodom & Gomorrah"! It is true they are not
all so; no, I
am told there are but few, & in charity I hope it is; otherwise
what will be my
fate seeing I am in a certain degree partaker with them! Surely
the inha-
bitants of such a land, at best, cannot look for more than mere
present enjoy-
ment. When I reflect seriously on all these things as I
sometimes do, revolv
ving them in every different manner in my mind it is beyond the
power of
words to express my feelings. Poor unfortunate blind Creatures!
That it is
from Blindness they commit these things. I am fully persuaded,
because I am equally confi-
dent that they do not attach that same degree of criminality to
them we, from the re-
vealing of the Scriptures to us, do: some, they consider in the
light of trifles; some natural; some
weaknesses: but all tend to the gratification of most Bestial
appetites, whatever may
have been the original cause, curiosity, or otherwise. However,
I received a piece of infor-
mation in one of these, & it was circumstantially detailed,
that has cleared a point to
me I could never solve: & Tho I enquired of both Wool & Bob,
they were not wiser than my-
self. Indeed, without the trial or experiment, it seems
impossible to say certainly
where the cause lies: now I know it, if ever an opportunity
offers, or that it pleases God I
again revisit my own lands I shall be able to speak to a
certainty. As I cannot write
Latin, I shall say no more of it at present.—
A few years back an indian at the next Post above this
died: he had been a long time sick, &

... (53) ...

& from this conceived himself ongenay & accordingly prepared
for his Confession.
Having received the details at 2 & 3d hand I shall endeavour to
give part of them to you as near their
Stile as I can; but really I find myself very inadequate to the
task: there is a certain
Poetic Sublimity in their language on such like occasions as
will not easily meet with credit
from those (the better informed) of the civilized world
unacquainted with these people. Even
amongst ourselves there are but few; for few can judge of the
beauties of a language & most of
those few have too hi a notion of their own mighty superiority
to stoop to regular conver-
sation with them: But to return: after having revealed all, or
most part of his Sins to
the company in general he thus addressed his family in
particular—"You see my Chil-
"dren my distressed state: I cannot move nor stir without
assistance, & I feel strengthened
"in my lungs (breast, heart) merely as it were by Permission of
my Dreamed (some parti-
"cular one he meant) "to divulge my offenses to the Gods (or
God) publicly, before you
"you all, to deter you from the same vices (wickednesses). I
was once a young man also, the
"same as you are now, healthy & vigorous; nothing appeared
difficult nor dangerous to me—
"I lived as became a man, & prospered accordingly; but I
thought that this proceeded from my
"own Power only: had I so continued, all had been well! but no,
I unfortunately heard
"speake of Such indians (meaning this place, as my informants
tell me), how powerful
"they were in their medicines, the extraordinary feats they
performed. I envied them, &
"thought that I required but that knowledge more to render me
perfect (immortal) &
"happy:—I undertook a voyage to that place: I found that the
bare truth had been
"scarcely told me—I burned with anxiety to becoming as knowing
as themselves & I
"was gratified. Had I rested here, all had yet been well; but
in learning their me-
"decines I also learned of them those vices, those sins, that
by their practice have
"reduced me to this wretched situation. My Sons! take example
from your father!
"be good, charitable, & peaceable indians as I was at the first
set off of my life, & employ the
"same means, indulge use the same anxiety to avoid, that I did
to procure, that information
"that hath reduced me so far below the level even of a dog.
Never forget this, never in-
"dulge even the least desire of such acquisitions; for if you
once begin you will be
"deluded by their flattery to that destruction I have found.
But you are young men! &
"unless you find grace you also will be deluded & lost as I
am"! I have heard a good
deal said of this indian's confession & exhortations to his
Sons—they were not lost. He
himself lived but a short time & seemed much comforted by it.
There is a tribe of Athabasca that go by the name of Beaver
Indians. From
the tenets of their religion I am told that when laying under
any malediction, be-
wichisms, &c. or conceive themselves so, they make a vow that
the first animal the shall
kill they will do So—they do not fail, but immediately proceed
in quest of another which by this
diabolical action they think they will soon find & kill. They
do not touch the animal afterwards as

... (54) ...

as those Beasts among the Crees & Sauteux do, but leave it lay
as a sacrifice: they consider it as a
duty imposed upon them; but the others do it from mere
beastiality. "Such a one did so, bro't home
"part of the meat, & we all of us eat it—O! the Dog!" said an
indian not long ago to me.
Lest I may not soon have another opportunity of writing on
these Subjects to you I shall
add a few more fragments. An indian here, passing for a great
Doctor was applied to
(& is still) by many to attend upon them. "Several of these he
retrieved from death: One
"of his dreamed, I beleive the North, was not pleased & told
the Doctor 'never to administer
"'his medecines to those he had doomed to death.' The Dr
replied it was hard & unchari-
"table seeing he could prolong their days a little. ' Well! for
every one that thou dost
"'deprive me of, I shall take one of thy children'; & the Dr
lost 8 or 9. (I cannot
"now remember well); but he is now grown more cautious". But
this Dr is himself a
beast. "Being unable to stand from sickness he told 2 of his
wives 'Take ye me one
"'under each arm to my sweat-heart.—I feel myself dying & dont
chuse thus to
"'go': & he actually did. Remember, I am told this; but I have
reasons to beleive it.
—He is an incestuous beast: otherwise I find him a good indian
& what is most
strange, sensible beyond many of his equals.—
I have got a caracature here of the Devil carrying off a
Taylor. I asked one
of my indians if any of their familiars resembled him & how
they were,—the reply was "Yes,
"he resides in the North (at the Pole I suppose) & has a vast
number of young men: The
"indians report of some finding their tracks that are very
numerous & exactly resemble the
"tracks of the Grey Deer (carriboeuf); but neither him nor his
young men are very wick-
"ed: North, Ice, Skeleton, & Folly are the most wicked & ill
inclined of all those
we dream of, or enter the conjuring box"!—
Of their Feasts, I cannot say more than any common observer
—I have been in-
vited, & partaken of many of them, but I never thought of
enquiring into their origin, the
causes &c. of them. But from the little I could learn or rather
understand from the
speeches made at all of them, & what I have learnt in regard
to other things, I think
may say without dreading contradiction, that as there are
songs, ceremonies &c.
appropriate to every one of their Gods or Familiars or Devils,
there also feasts made for
each according to the whim, dream, or some other circumstance
of the one who makes them.
We denominate these Feasts, & from their own Term it would
seem they so mean;
but I consider this again as a premature interpretation which I
have not leisure to
explain: I consider them rather as sacrifices—indeed they may
perhaps rather
be esteemed as partaking of both. I have somewhere above said
that they are obliged
to make an annual sacrifice to some of their Gods as the non-
performance passes not
off with impunity—these therefore are obligatory, or compulsory
sacrifices; but besides these
they also have Free-will sacrifices. These Feasts or sacrifices
are not universally of

... (55) ...

of Flesh:—they have them of Flesh, Grease, dried berries, rum,
&c. &c. and few of these
Feasts are made without the one who makes it offers a certain
(very small, only a few mouths-
ful) to him whom it is in honor of, or intended for, which he
most commonly puts into
the fire, in or on, the Ground. Some of them are very grand &
ceremonius:—the tit
bits of the animal only, as the head, heart, & liver, tongue, &
paws when of a Bear: It is
only the Great men that are allowed to eat of these: Others
again, besides the above, the
brisket, rump & ribbs; & very seldom a woman is allowed to
partake of them, parti-
cularly if it is un festin à tout manger, i. e. to eat the
whole; tho' there may be
sufficient for 2 or 3 times the number of Guests, all must be
eaten before day; tho' in
certain cases the Feaster is obliged, & commonly does, take
part back, providing a
knife, a bit of tobacco, or something else attend with the
dish. In these great
Feasts the feaster makes one or several Speeches before we
begin to eat, & one again
after all is done, & sometimes sings, beats the drum &
speeches during the whole
time of the feast, never partaking of a morsel himself. At Some
of them there is
dancing to be performed: I happened to be called to one of
these many years ago
—it was the principal parts of a bear; & the Paunch had been
filled with the
liver, heart & fat with blood, minced, & much resembling that
dish the Scotch
term haggish: we were all very hungry & tho' we gormandized (it
cannot be
called eating) there yet remained full 2/3ds. The Feaster was
uneasy & said he would
have been proud had we eaten all, for in that case his Dreamed
would have been
propitious: we were obliged to dance also; but when I could
stow no more I gave him
my knife & a bit of Tobacco & walked off leaving him to settle
with his God as well
as he could; but indeed I was not very scrupulous then,
otherwise I had most
certainly avoided many of them, tho' it is oftentimes dangerous
if there be not
method or qualification in the refusal. Their feasts of rum are
often to some
one of the 4 wicked ones, praying them to be propitious & not
allow themselves to be
influenced by the wicked sollicitations of envious indians.
Many years ago I
happened to be out a hunting a few miles from the house & came
unexpectedly
upon the lodge of a few indians I had that day given rum to. I
heard one of
them harangue, & drew up cautiously to listen—He entreated the
rain, snow &
frost to have pity upon their young ones (that they might kill)
&c. I commu-
nicated this a few years after to a couple of Gentlemen—one of
them longer
in the country than myself denied it & enquired of his wife who
had lived a
long time with the indians—she corroborated his denial—I
perceived the
cause, & told him that it was because they do not chuse that we
become too well
informed of all their ceremonies: it was to no effect, & I had
almost a mind to credit
the woman too myself, but by insinuation I find I am perfectly
right. Thus it

... (56) ...

it happens in almost every thing else: a thing that does not
meet with our approbation, or be a
little beyond the Sphere of our limited information, we
immediately deny or condemn; whereas by
taking proper measures to enquire or inform ourselves not only
those things themselves but others
far more interesting, & sometimes too of the greatest moment,
whether to ourselves or others, are rendered
probable, reasonable, certain. Hence it is also that many upon
receiving a piece of informa-
tion there rest themselves as upon a Rock of certainty. Now
either of these I consider
equally blameable as they lead to distrust, doubt, & sometimes
to a complete refutation or asser-
tion of facts that very oftentimes cast a stain or stigma
sometimes upon a whole people.
& without any other foundation than as might be said that all
Powerful Veto.—
They have feasts for the dead, most commonly berries,—or in
countries where it is made,
Sugar: generally yearly a bark box of perhaps 2 or 3 Gallons is
placed in the grave, upon
it , or well hid in some private nook, if they are afraid, or
do not chuse, it be taken
—I ought rather to have said these are sacrifices; but
independent of these they have Feasts
also, & feasts of Baptism. Feasts inshort for almost every
occasion. Besides these
they have smoking feasts: these are to deliberate.—I shall,
should it please God I live,
make it a point to enquire particularly into the origin of all
these.—
June 5th. These last 3 days have been busy & turbulent ones
for me—it is now
considerably past midnight (& of course the 6th June) but my
indians are drinking
& I cannot think of going to bed Till they do I shall employ
my few remaining
leisure moments ('till next year, please god I live so long) in
giving you an
account of a conjuring bout I with some difficulty got an
indian to make
last night (June 4th).—In the evening the hut was prepared at
some dis-
tance from the houses on account of the stink as the Spirits
cannot, or will
not endure any pollution—The hut consisted of 10 poles about 7
feet out
of Ground, well stuck in, & somewhat better than 3 feet
diameter—the
Poles were secured with 2 hoops: they were covered with 2
Parchment skins
(of Moose) well bound with many rounds of strong leather line:
the
top was covered with a dressed skin & secured also, to prevent
its being
carried off (by the wind)—About 10P.M. (still broad day light
with
us) we drew up with the conjuror, smoked & chatted some time.
after
this he took his drum (much resembling a tambourine) & with a
stick gently struck it all the time he made a speech: I was
almost
touching him (all seated) but from the noise of the drum & his
low voice,
for the man has a dreadful complaint on his lungs, I could only
gather
"Take pity upon me; take pity upon me; hear & come: let me not
speake in vain, nor become abashed—show me charity" &c. &c.—it
was
a moderate & decent prayer. After this they (for there were
several men) began

... (57) ...

began to sing, using the drum & rattler—they sang among others
the moose, horse,
Bear, & Dog Songs; about a dozen in number, when he prepared by
taking off his
clothes, all to his cloute, & asked who should tie him, I
replied that I would,
but was afraid of hurting him: another conjuror did beginning
with his
fingers between the 2 joints nearest the hand nearly as I can
describe
it—thus giving a double turn to the line between each
finger, & the line was new Mackerel, small, which I happened to
have
in my pocket by accident.—I drew up to inspect & observing the
fin-
gers to swell upon his complaining of the tightness I felt a
good deal for
him. After this his blanket was wrapped round him & tied in
such a
manner, lengthways, crossways & every way, & a good knot I tied
at
each meeting of the cords; for I assisted in this, that I could
have laid
any wager that it was beyond the Power of Spirits themselves,
thus tied, to
eradicate themselves; & his hands were under his hams—as he
could no
more move than fly, of himself, the other conjuror & I put him
to the
door, but behold! it was with difficulty we could just get his
head in, the entry being too narrow by about 10, or 12 ins.
screwing
& jaming considered. "It will do, it will do" said the conjuror
—"cover
me now"—his back was covered with a blanket & we all retreated
to our seats, myself about 4 feet distant—The others took the
drum
& began to sing. I could not help but laughing in myself &
pitying the
boldness of their vanity,—but I had soon occasion to think
other-
wise & had I not predetermined that reason should conduct me
throughout the
whole of this, I cannot say how far in the other extreme I
might have gone.
But to return: the conjuror desired the others to sing, they
began a short song,
I believe it was that of the Stone, & the man entered in an
instant! I was
struck dumb with astonishment; for he appeared to me to
slide in by something that was neither invisible nor
descernible—I heard some-
thing that for the life of me I cannot account for, & that's
all: from the time
we covered him (25.' Past 10 P.M) to the time we had done
hunting for the
twine that tied his fingers, not quite 5 minutes elapsed, & not
1 1/2 minutes
before his blanket & the cords were thrown out to us!—Not one
of them,
apparently (i.e. one knot) untied!—My astonishment & apprehen-
sions of his being entirely carried off from us were such, that
I was nearly
springing up to haul him out, for fear of his being for ever
lost. The others
continued singing a few other songs & I had the utmost anxiety
in hearing repeated-
ly call out as if in the greatest apprehensions himself
"enough! enough! e-

... (58) ...

Enough of ye I say"; & frequently for the space of some minutes
repeating the same,
& now & then calling out "do not Thou enter." The Stone was the
first one known
to us, by his song; for every one almost that entered sang his
song, to which those
(the indians) on the outside would keep chorus. A vast number
entered, I verily
beleive upward of an hundred; for upwards of that number of
times the frame
shook back-&-forwards and very smartly as if to fall; & among
the first
were some truly terrible characters. I have almost entirely
converted myself
from these foolish ideas of Ghost & hobgoblins, but I assure
you in truth
that I more than once felt very uneasy. The Ice entered—he made
a noise
extremely resembling that made by a person shivering with cold,
loud, &
hoarse & liquid. The Devil himself also entered in propria
persona, in
a very authoritative & commanding manner: I assure you there
was no
laughing nor gigling outside, all the time he sang & spoke. The
Turtle
spoke as an old Jocular man. "I hate the french; for in their
travels
"when they find me, they kill me & eat me:—I shall answer none
of their questions"
but this was a joke; for he laughed. "Speake out Turtle, speake
out, louder that
"we hear the", said those without "—I would too, replied he,
but my voice is
"so strong I must contract it thus otherwise ye could not
endure the sound
"of it." "Hop! continued he, I must imitate the drunk", which
he did
to the great diversion of us all & concluded with snoring, the
natural
end of all drunken feasts & then became quiet, on which another
voice
(which I also perfectly heard & understood as well the Turtle
herself) cried
out--"see! see! if she does not look like a frog stretched
out" & this
raised a proper laugh both in & out. The Dog entered, & spoke
perfectly
plain & distinct, & with a more elegant & harmonious voice I
ever heard
in my life. Bears of 3 or 4 different sorts, the horse, moose,
Skeletons,
spirits of departed & still living friends entered; but none
but the
latter & above mentioned were to be understood by any but the
conju-
ror himself. On the entering of one "that is my (adopted) Son"
said
an Indian seated by me & called out his name to which he
readily
answered besides questions: this young man & a girl, both
living,
spoke very plain (you must observe that it is not their bodies,
but their
Souls or Spirits that enter)—Children almost at the instant of
birth,
Dwarfs, Giants; but this latter did make a noise indeed. We all
laughed very heartily when the horse entered; for it appears he
passed too
near the Turtle who called out as the horse was flying about
(in the inside)
singing & rattling his rattler, "I wish you would take care of
yourself & not tread

... (59) ...

"tread on one" in allusion to his diminutive size in comparison
with that of
horse. It is somewhat surprising that every one that entered,
whether he spoke plain,
or was interpreted—their First words were your lands are
distressed—keep
not on the Gnd River—sickness, sickness; "but from amongst ye
here I shall
select only a few aged ones" said one of the latter, but in a
voice no one but the
conjuror could understand—as he went out however the Conjuror
paid him a most
bawdy compliment—we all laughed & asked what was the matter
"pah! no-
thing. I am only afraid of him said the Conj.—One of them that
entered
apparently the Devil himself for he spoke & acted en veritable
maitre
startled us all a great deal & enquired authoritatively &
angrily, "what
"want ye of me?—speake? "—Upon several hurried enquiries put
to him he said that some things I saw & heard in my house this
win-
ter, were by Mr Frobisher, who expired so dreadfully in 1819
—"he
"is a skeleton (Pah-kack); & it is he who built this house—he
comes
"to see"—!!! Tho' I did certainly both hear & see, several
times this winter,
& once in particular, about 2.a.m. yet I do not feel much
inclined to add
faith to this assertion of Davy's—I must have something more
substantial.
But I am much inclined to doubt master Davy's assertions &
consider this & several others
of his sayings at former Periods in the same light as those he
delivered at many of
Grecian temples; for I have every substantial reason to
consider him as the same identical Gen-
tleman: however, a short time hence will decide: The Turtle
said we should
have a good deal of rain; but not a very great deal & a very hi
wind, & as soon as
the Sun should appear, "at its setting an indian (naming him by
a very extraor-
dinary & bawdy features in his person) should arrive & bring us
meat; but this
you will eat of course, & I shall go without"—{"Beware of
yourselves—Tomorrow
night you shall drink & be drunk: drink & leave the house as
soon as you
"can; for there are from that wind (by which he designated the
South)
"who if they drink with ye, ye shall become pitiful" alluding
to two
blackguard half breed brothers, who proud of the bravery of
their deceased father are
ever & anon insulting & domineering over the other indians: it
is worthy of remark
that an aged man in the course of this last winter was
advertised of the Same, &
repeatedly pressed not to drink at the house on their accord}.
This is now
the 6th (June) the Sun appears, but the wind is very hi, & we
have frequent
showers of rain & snow.—About midnight the Conjuror addressed
me &
asked if I wished to see any of them (the Spirits)—I accepted
the offer & thrust
my head underneath, & being upon my back I looked up & near the
top
observed a light as of a Star in a Cloudy night about 1 1/2in.
long & 1 broad; tho'

... (60) ...

tho' dim, yet perfectly distinct. Tho' they all appear as
lights, some larger & others smaller,
this one was denominated the Fisher Star; the name by which
they designate the Plough, I
believe we call it, or Great Bear, from the supposed
resemblance it bears to that animal,
the fisher. When I was entering, several of the Indians on the
outside called out
to the Spirits "Gently! Gently! It is our Chief who wishes to
see ye:—do
"him no evil" &c.—I had my apprehensions. A little after one
P.M. one of
my men looked in, with several Indians, & saw several small
lights about
as large as the Thumb nail. A few minutes before 2 P.M. being
day light
they gave another shaking to the frame & made their exit.
The above is an account of only a small part, for I am
too much pressed
for time—I cannot therefore enter into particulars, nor a
larger detail; nor give
you my opinion further than a few words. I am fully convinced,
as much so
as that I am in existance, that Spirits of some kind did really
& virtually
enter some truly terrific, but others again quite of a
different character.—
I cannot enter into a detail by comparisons from ancient &
more modern history,
but I found the consonance, analogy, resemblance, affinity, or
whatever
it may be termed so great, so conspicuous that I verily beleive
I shall never
forget the impressions of that evening; but above all things
that sticks most
forcibly in my mind is the unbound Gratitude we owe, & ought to
shew,
every instant of our existance to that almighty Power that
deigned to sacrifice
his only Son for us for our Salvation! Oh my God! let me never
for-
get this!—& teach me to thank thee not only with my lips
but with every action of my life! x x x x x x x x &c. &c.—
Here I must close & in a few minutes Seal up this for
your peru-
sal, sincerely wishing I may find an opportunity, safe, of
conveying it
to you—How earnestly I wish Robt had been present & understood
the language—This would convince the most skeptic.—
To Mr Wm Nolan, Wm Henry G.
Nelson

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™ electronic works to protect the
PROJECT GUTENBERG™ concept and trademark. Project

very easy. You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose such
as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and

the Full Project Gutenberg™ License available with this file or

Section 1. General Terms of Use and

Redistributing Project Gutenberg™
electronic works
1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg™

using and return or destroy all copies of Project Gutenberg™
electronic works in your possession. If you paid a fee for

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™ 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™
electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement and

1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation (“the
Foundation” or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the

individual works in the collection are in the public domain in the
United 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 that you will
support the Project Gutenberg™ mission of promoting free
access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg™
works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for
keeping the Project Gutenberg™ name associated with the

by keeping this work in the same format with its attached full
Project Gutenberg™ License when you share it without charge

the terms of this agreement before downloading, copying,
displaying, performing, distributing or creating derivative works
based on this work or any other Project Gutenberg™ work. The
Foundation makes no representations concerning the copyright
status of any work in any country other than the United States.

Gutenberg:

1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other

Gutenberg” is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed,
viewed, copied or distributed:

This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United

States and most other parts of the world at no cost and

1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg™ electronic work is

derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not

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

of the work and the Project Gutenberg™ trademark as set forth
in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg™ electronic work is

posted with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and
distribution must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through

Additional terms will be linked to the Project Gutenberg™
License for all works posted with the permission of the copyright
holder found at the beginning of this work.

Gutenberg™ License terms from this work, or any files
 containing a part of this work or any other work associated with
Project Gutenberg™.

this electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1
with active links or immediate access to the full terms of the
Project Gutenberg™ License.

1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,

other format used in the official version posted on the official
Project Gutenberg™ website (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 of obtaining a copy
upon request, of the work in its original “Plain Vanilla ASCII” or
other form. Any alternate format must include the full Project
Gutenberg™ License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

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

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™ 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™ 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™ works.

1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project

Gutenberg™ electronic work or group of works on different
terms than are set forth in this agreement, you must obtain
permission in writing from the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, the manager of the Project Gutenberg™
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™ collection. Despite these
efforts, Project Gutenberg™ 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™ trademark,
and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg™ 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™
electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any
volunteers associated with the production, promotion and
distribution of Project Gutenberg™ 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™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or
deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect
you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission

of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ 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™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™
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™ 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.
