My reader shall laugh at her; my unfriendly critic shall sneer at her.  As a heroine of a novel she deserves it; but I hope for their own sakes neither will undervalue the original in their passage through life.  These average women are not the spice of fiction, but they are the salt of real life.

William Fielding is godfather to Susan’s little boy.

He can stand by his brother’s side and look without compunction on Anne Fielding’s grave, and think without an unmanly shudder of his own.

We are now trying to release all our etexts one year in advance of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.  Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections, even years after the official publication date.

Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til 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.

Most people start at our Web sites at:  http://gutenberg.net or http://promo.net/pg

These Web sites include award-winning information about Project Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new etexts, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).

Those of you who want to download any Etext before announcement can get to them as follows, and just download by date.  This is also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.
