SI RIZAL SA HARAP NG̃ BAYAN

Talumpating Binigkas Ng̃ Bb. Pilar J. Lázaro
Hipolito Sa Look Ng̃ Bagumbayan,
Alang-alang Sa Ika Sampung
Taón Nang Pagkakabaril Sa
Ating Bayani.

Bayan cong pinacaiirog: Ang unang pinasasalubung̃an ng̃ maligayang pagbati at pagpipitagan, sampu ng̃ lahat ng̃ mg̃a napipisan, lalong lalo na ang mg̃a ginoong bumubuo ng̃ pagpapaonlac sa carang̃alán ng̃ dakilang Rizal na casalucuyang ipinagdidiwang ng̃ capuluang Filipinas, cayo'y hinahandugan ng̃ayon ng̃ di mabilang na pasasalamat, sanhi ng̃ pagcatanim sa kaibuturan ng̃ puso ng̃ araw na itong di co rin nililimot.

Baga man culang pa sa tapat na cagulang̃an ang cutad na pag-iisip sa tungculing ng̃ayo'y ipinamahala, datapuwa, pinagtamanan cahit anong hirap, macatupad lamang sa adhica ng̃ mg̃a capatid sa mabigat na pasaning aco'y maging isa sa magpapaonlac, sa pamamag-itan ng̃ bigcás, gayon sa pamimintuho sa Bayan cong kinamulatan.

Cung ang pupulas sa labi sa oras na ito ay culang sa timyas, ang madlang nai-ipon na ang macatataroc ng̃ lalim ng̃ aking pagcapahat, ng̃uni magi-ging isang pamucaw, isang pagcantig sa pintuan ng̃ calooban, bagay sa caramihang nagwawacsi pa ng̃ tunay na damdamin at sumasampalataya sa hiduang aral ng̃ mg̃a nagcucubling halimaw na nag aanyon mabait, bago'y caaway ng̃ cagaling̃an, na di pa nasiyahan sa tinalicdang pagtatamasa ng̃ mg̃a cahirapan, cundi bagcus namamalagtas sa lalong pag-api at pagdustang nacalalagim sa isang hindi nang̃imi sa camatayan macapagbucás sa tulóg na loob ng̃ canyang cababayan, at naging mananacop ng̃ Filipinas sa paghahayin ng̃ buhay ng̃ icatutubós sa tanán, ng̃uni, ¡anong hapding salang̃in! ¡anong pait namnamin! cung madilidiling yuco sa dating caugalian ang pinaghabinlang ilán ng̃ canyang mg̃a talinghaga.

¿Ibig ninyong makilala? ¡ah! wala acong carapatang tumurol at sucat na lamang ipatalastas ang nacapanghihilacbot na usapan ng̃ mg̃a lahing Lacandula rin, upang mang̃akilalang sila'y dapat pacasumpain, na anila'y: Si Rizal ang tunay na may casalanan at nagcalat ng̃ caguluhan at cahirapang tinatangkilic ng̃ayon ng̃ Bayan, mg̃a pang̃ung̃usap na di napag labanan ng̃ puso cong iwi at naramdamang lumuha ng̃ dugó, at naipucol naman tuloy ang wicang: bakit hindi mang̃atal at mapipi ang cumacatal ng̃ walang catotohanan; datapua't ng̃ macapaghunos dili sa paglalatang ng̃ galit sa sumandaling iyon ay dagling binawi at pinapaghari ang capatawarang naisigao ang mahalagang bigcas ng̃ Póong si Jesús, ng̃ napapaco sa Cruz ng̃ casalanan: Dios co sila'y patawarin mo sapagcat hindi nalalaman ang canilang guinagawa (Palacpacan).

Talastas ng̃ lahat ang Bayan sinilang̃an ng̃ ating ipinag-gagalac ng̃ayon, iyang dacong sinisicatan ng̃ maliwanag na araw, na pinamumutictican ng̃ mg̃a bagong silang na pagmamalasakit, diyan sa Calamba, niyong ika labing siyam ng̃ Junio ng̃ taong isang libo, walong daa't anim na pu't isa, sa macatuid, ganap na apat na pu't limang taon limang buan at labing isang araw ng̃ayon, at buhat naman ng̃ gupuin ang canyang iniing̃atang buhay ng̃ mg̃a lihim na caaway, ay sampung taon ng̃ayon walang culang.

Bakibaki-in mg̃a napipisang caguinoohan cung anong tabác ng̃ mapanglupig ang lumagpac sa ulo ng̃ mg̃a Bayaning nagsipagnasang humawi ng̃ mg̃a calihimang mapagparusa, panaho'y tumatacas at tumatacbong matulin ng̃ wala pang ninicat na pag-asa, iyang pag-asang pag-aagawanan pa cung totoong mapa atin na. Siya'y hindi nalulupaypay cahiman nauumang sa bagsic ng̃ paratang, nagpatuloy sa layong pawang icagagaling natin, ng̃uni hindi kinilalang utang na loob ng̃ mg̃a sumasamba sa capangyarihan ng̃ mg̃a mapagbalat cayóng wari ay catulong bago'y tunay na calaban.

Bahagya pang tumutuntong sa guhit ng̃ pagbibinata, ay nagpakilála na si Rizal ng̃ nacahahang̃ang catalasan ng̃ pagiisip, caya't minarapat ng̃ magagandang pusong canyáng magulang na papag-aralin dito sa Maynila, at hindi naman nalaon at nagpamalas ng̃ catalinuhan, at sa catotohana'y lalabing tatlong taon pa lamang ang gulang ay sumulat at cumatha ng̃ melodramang tula, na pinamagatan ng̃: Junto al Pasig, at saca isinunod ang A la Juventud Filipina, El consejo de los Dioses at iba pang nacalulugod.

Tayo naman, lalo na cayong mg̃a cabinataang dumog sa pag-aaral, cunang halimbaua ang canyang mg̃a pagsisicap. Si Rizal, hindi dito lamang sa Filipinas tinuclas ang caaya-ayang carunung̃an, cundi naglacbay sa España, niyong taong isang libo, walong daa't walong pu't dalaua, sa pang-ulong bayan nito, sa Paris, sa Bruselas sa Berlin, sa Londres, sa Gante at sa mg̃a pang̃ulong Ciudad ng̃ Rhin at doon natutuhan ang ucol sa pangagamot, «Filologia», «Etnologia», «Filosofía» at «Letras».

Iniwagayway ang nacamtan sa pagtitiyaga sa Capuluang ito, ng̃uni agad hinarang ng̃ mg̃a malicmatang mapagpahirap, sapagca't hindi maglalaon cung pababayaang magpapatuloy, at lilitaw ang itinatago-tago at kinikipkip na calayaan ng̃ Filipinas, gayon man, hindi tumudla ng̃ macamandag, at sucat ng̃ tinugon ang pang̃ung̃usap nila ng̃ papaganito: «Na ang lahat ng̃ mg̃a lahi ng̃ tao ay nagcacaiba iba lamang sa canilang mg̃a anyo, ng̃uni alinsunod sa Psicologia, ang maputi, ang abo-abo, ang madilaw, ang cayumangui at ang maitim ay magcacaisa ng̃ caramdaman, nagcacawang̃is ang mg̃a umu-udyoc na budhi at hilig na magpapatiboc ng̃ puso, ang pinagcacaibhan lamang ay ang paraan ng̃ pagsasaysay ó pag-gawa.»

«Na walang napagkikilala ang mg̃a Antropologo cundi ang mg̃a lahi; na ang napagmamalas lamang ng̃ mg̃a mapagmasid ng̃ mg̃a pamumuhay ng̃ bawa't nación, ay ang pagcacaiba't iba ng̃ calagayan, ng̃ mayama't mahirap, ng̃ mahal at timawa. Na sa mg̃a nayong lalong mg̃a paham ng̃ Francia at Alemania, ang lalong marami sa mg̃a nananahan doo'y casing pantay rin ng̃ calagayan ng̃ pag-iisip ng̃ mg̃a tagalog, at ang culay ng̃ balat, pananamit at wicang guinagamit ang bilang caibhan lamang.»

«Na ang pag-iisip ay tulad sa mg̃a cayamanan at cung may mg̃a naciong mayaman at mahirap, ay may mg̃a tao ring mahirap at mayaman: Cung may nagbabalac na taong siya'y ipinang̃anac na pagdaca'y mayaman, ang gayong tao'y namamali, sapagca't siya'y sumilang ng̃ hubad na cawang̃is ng̃ alipin at iba't iba pang lubhang mahahalaga, (Noli me tangere dahong icapito).»

Pinag-inutan din niyang sinulat ang Noli me tangere na naghahayag ng̃ sari-saring halimbawa, na isinawicang frances ng̃ taong isang libo, walong daa't walong pu't siyam ng̃ mang̃ang̃alacal na capisanan ni Stock, gayon din ang isinulat ni Dr. Morga na canyang dinagdagán ng̃ mg̃a paliwanag ng̃ siya'y macapangaling sa Japón at Norte America na nanahan sa Londres. Sa Madrid ay nagbukas ng̃ isang pahayagan ng̃ taong isang libo walong daa't siyam na pu at pinamagatang Solidaridad, pahayagang tuwing ica labing limang araw, at ang mg̃a catulong sa pagsulat ay sina guinoong Marcelo H. del Pilar, Graciano Lopez Jaena, Dominador Gomez at iba pa.

Dito'y mahihinuha na ang canyang catalinuhang calakip ang pagsasangalang sa Bayan, sapagcat tumanghal ang canyang pang̃alan sa pamamag-itan ng̃ pakikibaca sa mg̃a calapastang̃anang cumacalat sa mg̃a paglulubog sa matwid hangang binawiang buhay ng̃ hindi sa sakit cundi sa bilis ng̃ punlong pamatay ¡Oh catiwalian ng̃ panahon! Bahagya pang umuusbong ang larawan iguinuguhit sa dulo ng̃ mg̃a sandata ay isinabog na ang apoy ng̃ capahamacan ng̃ isang namamahalang nacuha sa kintab ng̃ cayamanan, dinaig ng̃ capangyarihan at nagwasac ng̃ mahusay na pananangkilic.

¿Natupad caya ang nais na hadlang̃an ang bawa't tung̃o ni Rizal? ¡ah! hindi ng̃a at lalong nagsigla, bagcus nag alab ang sidhi ng̃ namumuksa, sumulac ang dugo at mandi'y iniukit sa pitac ng̃ dibdib, caya't hindi tinugutan hangang sa maibagsac ang pamamahalang walang matuid na pinananangnan ang sulsol at hicayat ng̃ ilang malabis nating kinapopootan.

Sa guitna ng̃ di maulatang pagpipighatí at pakikipanayam cay Simoun, ay nagsalita nitong sumusunod.

«Isang Dios ang nagpaparusa sa caculang̃an ng̃ pananampalataya sa pagcagumon sa masamang hilig, sa casalatán natin ng̃ dalisay na pagsinta sa kinamulatang lupa at sa madalás nating pagpapaunlac sa mg̃a cababayang nabubuhay sa pagpapahirap sa mg̃a duc-ha, carapat dapat ng̃a, lubha ng̃ang carapat dapat na ating tiisin ang bung̃a ng̃ ating mg̃a cagagawan at tiisin naman ng̃ ating mg̃a anac, iyan ng̃a ang Dios ng̃ kalayaan, guinoong Simoun na siyang sa ati'y pumipilit na ating iruguin ang calayaang iyan, upang hwag na lubhang magbigay cabigatan sa atin. Hindi ko sinasabing ating paghanapin sa patalim ng̃ sandata ang ating iguiguinhawa, sapagca't hindi cailang̃an ang espada sa icagagalíng ng̃ Bayan, datapwa't tutuclasin natin ang cagaling̃ang iyan sa pamamag-itan ng̃ carapatan, sa pagbibigay unlac sa catwiran at sa sariling camahalan ng̃ isang tao, sa pag-sintang dalisay sa tapat na asal, sa ano mang bagay na mabuti at sa ano mang cadakilaan hangang sa ihayin ang buhay sa camatayan, at pagca dumatíng na ang Bayan sa gayong mataas na calagayan, ang Dios ang sa canya'y nagbibigay ng̃ sandata at nabubulíd ang mg̃a nagpapasamba, nabubual ang mg̃a tampalasan, catulad ng̃ pagcalansag ng̃ mg̃a bahay bahayang baraja. Tayo rin ang may gawa ng̃ ating mg̃a pagdaralita, hwag nating bigyan sala ang sino man cundi liniling̃ap at pinababayaang tayo'y apihin ng̃ calupitan, sapagca't cung makita sana niyang tayo'y nahahandang makitungali at magtiis ng̃ cahirapan dahil sa pagsasangalang ng̃ ating catuiran, maniuala cayong ang di dumiding̃ig na iyan ang siyang una unang magcacaloob ng̃ calayaan, datapwa't samantalang hindi tinataglay ng̃ Bayang Filipinas ang casucatang lacás ng̃ loob upang isigaw na nacatunghay ang noo at hubad ang dibdib sa canyang carapatang magtamó ng̃ catuirang makisalamuha sa lahat at papagtibayin ang catuirang iyan ng̃ canyang sariling dugó; hangang ating nakikitang ang mg̃a cababayan nati'y sa sariling calooba'y nagdaramdam ng̃ hiya at diniring̃ig ang atung̃al ng̃ tinig ng̃ masamang budhi na nagng̃ing̃itng̃it at tumutol na sa hayag ay ayaw umimic at nakikisang-ayon sa nagpapahirap upang cutyain ang pinasakitan at pinarurusahan, samantalang nananatili ang ating mg̃a carugo sa tacsil na asal na walang ini-ibig cundi ang sariling cagaling̃an; ¿bakit sila'y bibigyang calayaan? Na sa sa camay man at wala ng̃ iba, sila'y magcacagayon din at marahil ay lalong sasama pa sa dati. ¿Anong cabuluhan ng̃ «Independencia» cung ang mg̃a busabos ng̃ayon ay siyang kinabucasa'y magmamalupit? At walang salang sila'y mananampalasan ng̃a, sapagca't umiibig sa catampalasanan ang sa catampalasana'y sumusunod Guinoong Simoun, samantalang hindi nahahanda ang ating Bayan, hangang tumutung̃o sa pakikihamoc ang ating mg̃a cababayan dahil lamang sa sila'y dinaya ó ipinagsumulong, na walang maliwanag na pagcakilala ng̃ canilang dapat na gawin, ay malulugso ang lalong pantas at mabuting balac, at mabuti pa ng̃a namang mawacsi, sapagca't.... ¿ano't ibibigay ang panali ó pangapos sa nang̃ing̃ibig sa canya, cundi din lamang tunay na sinisinta? (Noli me tangere, mg̃a dahong 13,14 at 15.)

Ating panimbulanan ang canyang mg̃a sinabi, patuluyang sampalatayanan na siyang macapaghahatid sa ating icaguiguinhawa, at sumandaling pacaisipn ang mg̃a macabubuhay na pananalita na dapat itanim cailan man ng̃ mahinang puso at tutupin ang dibdib at itanong sa sarili:

¿Taglay na baga natin ang kinacailang̃ang tapang ng̃ loob, upang biglang pacaualan ang pinagtitipunan ng̃ bucal at minimithi?

¿Kupás na caya na di muling sisilang ang calimitang mangyari na hindi na nacatutulong sa pagtatangol ng̃ carang̃alan ay nacabibigat pa sa pagdamay sa mg̃a mapagparusa ng̃ paglibac at pag-oyam sa ibinabang̃ong catuiran?

¿Nalipol na caya dito sa atin ang lahi ni Iscariote at ni Galalon na nagpahamac sa cabalat sa pamag-itan ng̃ carimarimarim na paglililo?

¿Pusó caya'y tumitiboc ng̃ naaayos at di napapatlang̃an sumandasandali ng̃ mg̃a ibang damdamin?

¿Ang caual caya ni Cain na pumatay ng̃ lamán ng̃ caniyang lamán at dugo ng̃ caniyang dugo sa udyoc ng̃ mapang̃anib na pananaghili, ay wala na caya rito?

¿May pagyayacap na cayang maaasahan, yayamang dapat sa isang hirap ó ginhawa tayo mamahay?

¿Hindi na caya naghahari sa calooban ng̃ marami sa atin ang malupit na asal na mapagaling lamang ang canyang sariling catawan ay hindi na inaalintana ang cahabaghabag na kinasasapitan ng̃ lupang kinakitaan ng̃ unang liwanag?

¿Naubos na caya sa sangcapuluang ito ang mg̃a nagsisi-irog sa caalipnan, caya sa caalipna'y nagsisisuco?

¿May dugo pa cayang may dung̃is na catacsilan sa ating mg̃a calahi?

¡Ah! ang canilang loob ay hindi matuturing̃an hangan sa di naipamamalas sa gawa, pagcat cung aking pakimatyagan baga man sa harapang ito ay nagcacatusac ang nakikipagdiwang sa mabunying Rizal, may mang̃ilan ng̃ilan ding binabayo ang dibdib sa matinding pag cagalit na hindi lamang maibulalas pagcat daig sila sa bilang ¡oh cay saclap na matalos! Sayang ang bayang humahanap ng̃ icalalaya cung sa bawa't pulutong ay may nasising̃it na palamara. (Palacpacan).

¿Hindi dapat pagtachan, sapagca't ang dakilang Jesús ay Dios ng̃ humirang ng̃ labing dalawa lamang na caniyang cacasamahin ay may nalahog na isang Judas, ¿gasino pa cayang hindi magcaroon ng̃ libo libo at lacsa lacsang namamayan?

Tacpan ang paning̃in sa paglacad ay malaking camalian; gapusin ang camay, lalong cahiduaan at cung susian ang bibig sa paglalathala sa harap ng̃ may capangyarihan ng̃ ating lubos na cabihasnan at carapatán, ay isang bagay na hindi totoong catampatang pabayaan, sapagca't ang dilang nacacabit sa ng̃alang̃ala ay tanda ng̃ pagcapahamac, pagca-alipusta sa pagcalubog ng̃ bayan, at cung walát na ang Bayan ay lansag-lansag na rin ang namamayan (Masigabong palacpacan).

Hwag nawang magcaganito, ng̃uni ang sagabal ng̃ mg̃a mapagpiguil ang siyang nacapagpapasindac at nacapagpapaudlot sa bawa't maguing bucal ng̃ loob ¡oh! sayang na buhay cung magcacaganitong mang̃ing̃ilabot sa bantang sinung̃aling, at cung tunay na namamayang may wagás na pag-ibig sa Bayang pinagcautang̃an ng̃ unang liwanag, ay macapag-wiwicang «minsan acong nabuhay ay «minsan naman acong mamatay sa harap ng̃ Bayan.» (Palacpacan.)

Ng̃ayo'y araw na calumbay-lumbay, araw na ipinagsaya ng̃ mg̃a humatol na Ulupong at ang araw ding ito nang taóng isang libo, walong daa't siyam na pu't anim at sa bagong pamimitac, sa casilang̃anan ng̃ Astrong tumatanglaw sa boong sangsinacpan, ang Bagumbayang itong ating kinaiipunan ay siyang naging sacsing tayo ay lalong inilucloc sa carang̃alan, pagcat pinatay ang isang Rizal, hindi magtatagal at may sisipot pang dalawa, tatlo ó daan mang caloobang Rizal.—(Palacpacan at bravo.)

Natulad ng̃a ang umagang iyon sa culung̃an ng̃ mababang̃is na hayop na may mabibisang camandag ang look na itong ng̃ayo'y tanda rin ng̃ ating pagaalaala sa canya, siya'y naliliguid ng̃ mg̃a artillerong buhat sa cuta ng̃ Santiago na inihatid dito, upang tuparin ang mg̃a maling cahiling̃an at cahatulan, at pinanood ng̃ mg̃a nag-gagandahang babaye na ang suot ay catulad ang mg̃a pananamit ng̃ mg̃a salaula ng̃ unang panahon sa Roma sa isang pagpipista sa Coliseo. (Palacpacan).

¡Oh lalong calupitan! sa biglang putoc ng̃ mg̃a baril na pamatay ay sinabayan pa ng̃ hiyawang viva at bravo ng̃ mg̃a caharap doon, ng̃ lumagpac na ang catawan ng̃ Bayani, at siya na yatang pinacadasal binyagang ipinailanglang sa lang̃it.

Nasunod ang pita, ng̃uni lalong ginhawa ng̃ matapos, sapagcat unti unti ng̃ sumilang ang maliwanag na tala ng̃ caginhawahan, siyang pagcahawi ng̃ pinid na itinabing sa ating mg̃a mata at pagcawaldas ng̃ tanicalang iginapos.

Ang panglao ng̃ umaga ng̃ taong iyon ay naging liwanag na mistula sa ng̃ayon, at cung ang canyang mg̃a gawang magaling ay na sa sa puso nating lahat, asahang ang pagtatagumpay, hindi maglalaon at atin, atin, atin, atin. (Palacpacan).

Si Rizal ang nag-ulat ng̃ mg̃a catotohanan, si Rizal ang humarap sa lalong pinacapang-ulo ng̃ capuluan, si Rizal ang di nang̃iming maghayag ng̃ canyang damdamin, si Rizal ang nagpakilala ng̃ matuwid na niyuyurakan at siya rin, si Rizal, si Rizal ang ng̃ayo'y nacacaharap, iyang kinainguitan ng̃ mg̃a manlulupig.

Hwag magugulantang mg̃a capatid na nakikinig, dagdagan ang ating pagsisigla sa taón taón yayamang ang Norte América ma'y nalulugod din cung pinupuri ang bayaning nagligtas sa Bayan, sapagca't silá ma'y nagcaroon ng̃ isang Washington na ipinagdidiwang: ang culang lamang sa atin ay ang magcaroon naman ng̃ isang araw na caparis ng̃ canilang icaapat ng̃ Julio. ¡Oh cailan ca pa darating! (Palacpacan).

Nakilala na ninyo ang mg̃a catamisan ng̃ isang biyaya, caya huag magpabaya, papag-ibayuhin ang galac, huag ibaon sa limot ang caniyang mg̃a habilin, siya'y huag hiualayan ng̃ papuri, yayamang ang dakilang Rizal na anac ng̃ Filipinas ang naguagayuay sa himpapawid ng̃ ating caligayahan.

Dalang̃inan siya, pacamahalin, sambahin ang mg̃a aral, masdan ang muchang iyan ni Rizal, iyang larawang Washington natin na tumuclas ng̃ sarisaring hiwaga na nacacubli sa mata ng̃ madla, na ng̃ayo'y hindi caila at kilala ng̃ calahatan.

Sulong tayo, pagpisanpisan ang hiyaw na: «¡Mabuhay ang Filipinas!» ¡Mabuhay ang Norte América! ¡Mabuhay ang habilin ni Rizal!

Nasabi co na.

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.

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.

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

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread 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 www.gutenberg.org/donate.

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: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg electronic works

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

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright 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 website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg, 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.
