A propos de ce livre
Ceci est une copie numrique dun ouvrage conserv depuis des gnrations dans les rayonnages dune bibliothque avant dtre numris avec
prcaution par Google dans le cadre dun projet visant permettre aux internautes de dcouvrir lensemble du patrimoine littraire mondial en
ligne.
Ce livre tant relativement ancien, il nest plus protg par la loi sur les droits dauteur et appartient prsent au domaine public. Lexpression
appartenir au domaine public signifie que le livre en question na jamais t soumis aux droits dauteur ou que ses droits lgaux sont arrivs
expiration. Les conditions requises pour quun livre tombe dans le domaine public peuvent varier dun pays lautre. Les livres libres de droit sont
autant de liens avec le pass. Ils sont les tmoins de la richesse de notre histoire, de notre patrimoine culturel et de la connaissance humaine et sont
trop souvent difficilement accessibles au public.
Les notes de bas de page et autres annotations en marge du texte prsentes dans le volume original sont reprises dans ce fichier, comme un souvenir
du long chemin parcouru par louvrage depuis la maison ddition en passant par la bibliothque pour finalement se retrouver entre vos mains.
Consignes dutilisation
Google est fier de travailler en partenariat avec des bibliothques la numrisation des ouvrages appartenant au domaine public et de les rendre
ainsi accessibles tous. Ces livres sont en effet la proprit de tous et de toutes et nous sommes tout simplement les gardiens de ce patrimoine.
Il sagit toutefois dun projet coteux. Par consquent et en vue de poursuivre la diffusion de ces ressources inpuisables, nous avons pris les
dispositions ncessaires afin de prvenir les ventuels abus auxquels pourraient se livrer des sites marchands tiers, notamment en instaurant des
contraintes techniques relatives aux requtes automatises.
Nous vous demandons galement de:
+ Ne pas utiliser les fichiers des fins commerciales Nous avons conu le programme Google Recherche de Livres lusage des particuliers.
Nous vous demandons donc dutiliser uniquement ces fichiers des fins personnelles. Ils ne sauraient en effet tre employs dans un
quelconque but commercial.
+ Ne pas procder des requtes automatises Nenvoyez aucune requte automatise quelle quelle soit au systme Google. Si vous effectuez
des recherches concernant les logiciels de traduction, la reconnaissance optique de caractres ou tout autre domaine ncessitant de disposer
dimportantes quantits de texte, nhsitez pas nous contacter. Nous encourageons pour la ralisation de ce type de travaux lutilisation des
ouvrages et documents appartenant au domaine public et serions heureux de vous tre utile.
+ Ne pas supprimer lattribution Le filigrane Google contenu dans chaque fichier est indispensable pour informer les internautes de notre projet
et leur permettre daccder davantage de documents par lintermdiaire du Programme Google Recherche de Livres. Ne le supprimez en
aucun cas.
+ Rester dans la lgalit Quelle que soit lutilisation que vous comptez faire des fichiers, noubliez pas quil est de votre responsabilit de
veiller respecter la loi. Si un ouvrage appartient au domaine public amricain, nen dduisez pas pour autant quil en va de mme dans
les autres pays. La dure lgale des droits dauteur dun livre varie dun pays lautre. Nous ne sommes donc pas en mesure de rpertorier
les ouvrages dont lutilisation est autorise et ceux dont elle ne lest pas. Ne croyez pas que le simple fait dafficher un livre sur Google
Recherche de Livres signifie que celui-ci peut tre utilis de quelque faon que ce soit dans le monde entier. La condamnation laquelle vous
vous exposeriez en cas de violation des droits dauteur peut tre svre.
propos du service Google Recherche de Livres

contribuer promouvoir la diversit culturelle grce Google Recherche de Livres. En effet, le Programme Google Recherche de Livres permet
aux internautes de dcouvrir le patrimoine littraire mondial, tout en aidant les auteurs et les diteurs largir leur public. Vous pouvez effectuer
