This library is built in the open.
If you spot an error, have a suggestion, or just want to say hello — we’d love to hear from you.

This is a digital copy of a work preserved for generations on library shelves before being carefully scanned by Google as part of a project to allow Internet users to discover the entire global literary heritage online.
As this book is relatively old, it is no longer protected by copyright law and now belongs to the public domain. The expression “belonging to the public domain” means that the book in question has never been subject to copyright or that its legal rights have expired. The conditions required for a book to enter the public domain may vary from one country to another. Public domain books are ties to the past. They are witnesses to the richness of our history, our cultural heritage, and human knowledge, and are too often difficult for the public to access.
Footnotes and other marginal annotations present in the original volume are included in this file as a reminder of the long path traveled by the work from the publisher through the library to finally end up in your hands.
Google is proud to work in partnership with libraries to digitize works belonging to the public domain and thus make them accessible to everyone. These books are, in effect, the property of all, and we are simply the guardians of this heritage. However, this is a costly project. Consequently, and with a view to continuing the dissemination of these inexhaustible resources, we have taken the necessary measures to prevent possible abuse by third-party commercial sites, particularly by establishing technical constraints related to automated queries.
We also ask that you:
Do not use the files for commercial purposes We have designed the Google Book Search program for the use of individuals. We therefore ask you to use these files only for personal purposes. They cannot be used for any commercial purpose.
Do not perform automated queries Do not send any automated queries of any kind to the Google system. If you are conducting research on translation software, optical character recognition, or any other field requiring access to large amounts of text, please contact us. We encourage the use of works and documents belonging to the public domain for such work and would be happy to be of service to you.
Do not remove attribution The Google watermark contained in each file is essential to inform Internet users about our project and allow them to access more documents through the Google Book Search program. Do not remove it under any circumstances.
Stay within the law Whatever use you intend to make of the files, remember that it is your responsibility to ensure that you comply with the law. If a work belongs to the American public domain, do not assume that the same applies in other countries. The legal duration of copyright for a book varies from country to country. We are therefore not able to list the works whose use is authorized and those whose is not. Do not believe that the simple fact of displaying a book on Google Book Search means that it can be used in any way, anywhere in the world. The penalty to which you would be exposed in the event of copyright infringement can be severe.
By promoting research and access to an increasing number of books available in many languages, including French, Google wishes to help promote cultural diversity through Google Book Search. Indeed, the Google Book Search program allows Internet users to discover the global literary heritage while helping authors and publishers reach their audience.
