TIIE P ALL-MALL GAZETTE.
An Evening Newspaper and Review.
It is difficult to des gibe the plan of an enterprise like the
PALL-ML effortsE without seeming to boast, or to
decry the t others. But we are unwill'ng to lose the
advantage of a few words ot exp'anation, and we therefore
trust the candour of the reader for a just interpretation of
our meaning.
The PALL-MALL GAZ ETTE will contain all the news
proper to an Evening journal But, addressed as it will be
to eduaated men and women, thb space of the paper will not
be occupied by trifling chronicles, nor by that excess ot words
which adds nothing to the interest of newspaper records,
while it destroys their significance. Literary considerations
alone wou:d determine ns to have our News Reports written
in plain English ; but beyond these there is the fact that the
lessons to be found in many an accident of human life or
polity are lost in the turgid language in which they are
commonly narrated.
Events made known by the Morning papers may be dis-
same day,
_v
but they wi 1 not be reported anew. Trustworthyadvises
es
from the Money Market will be included in the
news o the
Day.
The rest of the paper Oay far the greater Dart) will be made
up of original articles upon the man) things which engage
tne tho,:glits, or employ the energies, Or amuse the leisure of
mankind. Public Affairs, Litei attire, the Arts, and all the
influences which stren2,then or dissipate cciety, will be dis-
cussed by men who,e independen.2e and authoiity are equally
unqueitionable, and who are accusto heido.to regard the public
ex. ression of opinion as a serious n,. ais is the Lh ef
aim of the PAI.L-31ALL GAZETT :to bring into daily
journalism that full measure of thought and culture which is
now round only in Reviews.
At the same time, we byno means intend to make the
Paper pedantic or solemn. Humour is too powerful, as well
,s too pleasant, to be lett out of the design ; which will lose
none ot the aovantages of occasional trifling. if a thing can
be said better in verse than in prose, it will be said inverse.
Epigram, but not spite—burlesque, but not vulgarity—will
be readily admitted into its columns ; and since a joke is
often as illustrati, e as an argument, good jukes will be wel-
come too.
It will be understood that this adsertisement is rather a
proalamation of idea and of effort than of promise. But
the proclamation is not made betc,re a large number of able
writers have accepted the idea, and pledged themselves to
the effort.
