Distributed Proofreaders was conceived in 2000 by Charles Franks to help in the digitizing of public domain books. In 2002, Distributed Proofreaders became an official Project Gutenberg site.

The most natural idea is perhaps the one suggested by comparison with those astronomical phenomena where our observation most readily allows us to comprehend the laws of motion. It corresponds likewise to the tendency ever present in the mind of man, to compare the infinitely small with the infinitely great.
So great is her zeal that she hardly moves out of the way of the passer-by; more than one allows herself to be crushed underfoot, absorbed as she is in collecting her cement.
