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.

We have a good number of them already in Gutenberg but some new ones are here, together with an introduction by Wilde's friend Robert Ross. About #14061, Lady Byron Vindicated, by Harriet Beecher Stowe, David sends along the following note submitted by volunteer Les Bowler: The poet, George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron married Anne Milbanke in 1815, but the marriage was short-lived -- Anne returned to her parents with a daughter of the marriage after about a year and didn't see her husband again. She seems to have been a formal, rather religious person, while Byron had a reputation for scandalous behaviour both before and after the marriage, and rumours abounded as to the causes of the split. In 1869, after both Lord Byron and Anne Milbanke were dead, and following the publication of a book by the Countess Guiccioli, the mistress of Lord Byron, certain English periodicals published articles laying the blame entirely upon Lady Byron, and branding her "a liar" and "the vilest of criminals" -- all this with virtually no response from Lady Byron's friends. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, who had known Lady Byron for some years before her death in 1860, then felt it her duty to publish "Lady Byron Vindicated" in defence of her late friend. The book proved to be controversial, with Lord Byron's friends denying many of the allegations, including incest, referred to by Mrs. Stowe, but on the whole it seems a quite convincing explanation of the reasons for the break-down of the marriage. ~ ~ ~ About #14016, John Knox and the Reformation, by Andrew Lang: For those interested: John Knox was a famous Scottish protestant who was very involved in the politics of the reformation. Until Lang wrote this book it was established practise to hold Knox as a sort of saint. In this book Lang goes through Knox's life, writings and works - and paints a very unflattering picture of him. As an aside: outside of religion Knox is best known, or rather imfamous, for writing "The First Blast of the Trumpet against the monstrous regiment of Women" - a text which is available from Project Gutenberg. [EBook #9660 -- Ed.] For another opinion on John Knox, folk might like to read Robert Louis Stevenson's article on "Knox and His Relations to Women" - which appears in the book "Familiar Studies of Men and Books" - again available from Gutenberg. [EBook #425 -- Ed.] ~ ~ ~ All the so-called "secrets of success" will not work unless you do. =============================================================================
