The easiest way to obtain our eBooks is at our search page at http://gutenberg.net/find.shtml which allows searching by title, author or eBook number; there is also an Advanced Search page which allows for additional search criteria (note that our newer postings may not yet be indexed for all additional criteria). And please note: you can now obtain a listing by language at the above link. Mirrors (copies) of the complete collection are available around the world, and you can select one nearer to your location from the link on the search results page. To see a listing of mirror sites, and locate the one nearest to you, visit: http://gutenberg.net/list.shtml If you prefer to download eBooks via other methods than from the search page, and need additional information, please refer to the file GUTINDEX.ALL, available for viewing or downloading at: http://www.gutenberg.net/GUTINDEX.ALL That file contains descriptions and explanations about the filenaming process, directory structure, file formats, and more. And to directly access the file directories: http://gutenberg.net/dirs/ Please note that the Project Gutenberg Production Team continues the process of manually re-posting those eBooks originally posted prior to Nov 2003 to the new filenaming and directory system (based on the eBook number). This process includes some file maintenance (repairing, correcting and re-formatting to current PG standards where practicable). These re-postings are noted in the "corrections" listings below. More information can be found in the file GUTINDEX.ALL mentioned above. * * * Please see Part 1 of this week's newsletter for more information about Project Gutenberg.

The months of January, February and most of March are designated as in two years: for example January 1668/1669. By our present method this is January 1669. In the 1893 edition of "Pepys" edited by Wheatley he explains: "The year did not legally begin in England before the 25th of March until the act for altering the style fixed the 1st of January as the first-day of the year, and previous to 1752 the year extended from March 25th to the following March 24th. Thus since 1752 we have been in the habit of putting the two dates for the month of January and February and March 1 to 24 in all years previous to 1752. Practically however, many persons considered the year to commence with January 1st as it will be seen Pepys did. The 1st of January was considered as New Year's Day long before Pepys's time. The fiscal year has not been altered, and the national accounts are still reckoned from old Lady Day, which falls on the 6th of April." Henry B. Wheatley, F.S.A. 1893 (Ed.: I'm looking forward to the explanation of "old Lady Day"! <g>) ~ ~ ~ Milestone: This past week saw the 100th eBook in Finnish posted. ~ ~ ~ Be thankful for problems. If they were less difficult, someone with less ability might have your job. =============================================================================
