THE PALL MALL GAZETTE,
An EVENING NEWSPAPER and
UVIRW-
It is difficult to describe the plan of an enterprise like the
" Pall Mall Gazette" without seeming to bout, or to decry the
efforts of others. But we are unwilling to lose the advantage of
• few words of esplanatiou, and we therefore trust the candour
of the reader for a just iuterpretallon of our meaning.
The "Pall Mall Gazette " will contsbx all the news proper to
as evening Journal. But, addressed as it will be to educated
men and women, the space of the paper will not be occupied by
trifling chronicles, nor by that mess of word' which adds no-
thing to the laterest of arwrpoper records, while ft destroys
their sigalliceace. Literary cionsideretions storm would deter-
raise us to hare our news reports 'Meths in plain lingliah but
beyond them them is the fact that the Imams to be found In
many an accident of human life or social polity are lost in the
turgid language In which they are conunoaly narrated.

which strengthen or dissipate society, will be discussed by men
whose ladependeooe and authoeity am equally unquestionable,
and who are accustomed to regard the public expression of
opinion as • serious thing. This la the chief aim of the " Pall
Mali Gazette :" to bring into daily journalism that full measure
of thought and culture ankh la now found only in a few re-
views.
At the same time, we by no means Intend to make the paper
pedantic or solemn. Humour is too powerful, as well as ton
pleasant, to be left out of the design . which will lose none of
the advantages of occasional trifling it • thing can be said

but not spite—burlesque, but nut vulgarity—will be readily ad-
mitted Into its column, and mince a Joke Is often as IllnstraUve

It will be understood that this advertisement is rather •
proclamation of idea and of effort than of promise. But the
Cr.eiron la not made before a large number of able writers
tvaetilited the Idea, and pledged themselves to the effort.
