    Henry James

    Henry James (1843–1916) was an American writer, highly regarded as one of the key proponents of literary realism, as well as for his contributions to literary criticism. His writing centres on the clash and overlap between Europe and America, and The Portrait of a Lady is regarded as his most notable work.

      The Chaperon - Henry James

      **The Project Gutenberg Etext of The Chaperon, by Henry James** #33 in our series by Henry James

      Copyright laws are changing all over the world, be sure to check the copyright laws for your country before posting these files!!

      Please take a look at the important information in this header. We encourage you to keep this file on your own disk, keeping an electronic path open for the next readers. Do not remove this.

      *It must legally be the first thing seen when opening the book.*

      In fact, our legal advisors said we can't even change margins.

      **Welcome To The World of Free Plain Vanilla Electronic Texts**

      **Etexts Readable By Both Humans and By Computers, Since 1971**

      *These Etexts Prepared By Hundreds of Volunteers and Donations*

      Information on contacting Project Gutenberg to get Etexts, and further information is included below. We need your donations.

      Title: The Chaperon

      Author: Henry James

      July, 2001 [Etext #2718]

      **The Project Gutenberg Etext of The Chaperon, by Henry James**

      *****This file should be named chprn10.txt or chprn10.zip******

      Corrected EDITIONS of our etexts get a new NUMBER, chprn11.txt

      VERSIONS based on separate sources get new LETTER, chprn10a.txt

      This etext was scanned by David Price, email ccx074@coventry.ac.uk, from the 1893 Macmillan and Co. edition. Proofing was by Nina Hall, Mohua Sen, Bridie, Francine Smith and David.

      Project Gutenberg Etexts are usually created from multiple editions, all of which are in the Public Domain in the United States, unless a copyright notice is included. Therefore, we usually do NOT keep any of these books in compliance with any particular paper edition.

      We are now trying to release all our books one month in advance of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.

      Please note: neither this list nor its contents are final till midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement. The official release date of all Project Gutenberg Etexts is at Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment and editing by those who wish to do so. To be sure you have an up to date first edition [xxxxx10x.xxx] please check file sizes in the first week of the next month. Since our ftp program has a bug in it that scrambles the date [tried to fix and failed] a look at the file size will have to do, but we will try to see a new copy has at least one byte more or less.

      Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)

      We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. This projected audience is one hundred million readers. If our value per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2 million dollars per hour this year as we release thirty-six text files per month, or 432 more Etexts in 1999 for a total of 2000+ If these reach just 10% of the computerized population, then the total should reach over 200 billion Etexts given away this year.

      The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext Files by December 31, 2001. [10,000 x 100,000,000 = 1 Trillion] This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers, which is only ~5% of the present number of computer users.

      At our revised rates of production, we will reach only one-third of that goal by the end of 2001, or about 3,333 Etexts unless we manage to get some real funding; currently our funding is mostly from Michael Hart's salary at Carnegie-Mellon University, and an assortment of sporadic gifts; this salary is only good for a few more years, so we are looking for something to replace it, as we don't want Project Gutenberg to be so dependent on one person.

      We need your donations more than ever!

      All donations should be made to Project Gutenberg/CMU: and are tax deductible to the extent allowable by law. (CMU = Carnegie- Mellon University).

      For these and other matters, please mail to:

      Champaign, IL 61825
