THE P ALL-MALL GAZETTE.
An Evening Newspaper and Review.
It is difficult to des ribe the plan of an enterprise like the
PALL-MALL GAZETTE without seeming to boast, or to
decry the efforts of others. But we are unwill:ng to lose the
advantage et a few words of exp'anation, and we therefore
trust the candour of the reader for a just interpretation of
our meaning.
The PALL-MALL GAZETTE will contain all the news
proper to an 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 excess of words
which adds nothing to the interest of newspaper records,
while it cl...stroys their significance. Literary considerations
alone would determine us to have our News Reports written
in plain English; bat beyond these there is the fact that the
lessons to be found in many an accident of human life or
social polity are lost in the turgid language in wuich they are
commonly narrated.
Events made known by the Morning.: PaPerS may be dis-
cussed in the PA ,L-MALL GAZE e frog the samad vices
but they wi I not be reported anew. worthy
from the Money Market will be included in the ;News of the
y.
Da
't he rest of the paper (by far the greater part) racradcre
up of original articles upon the many things which en,a,e
tue thniglis, or employ the energies, or amuse the leisure t,f
mankind. Public Affwrs, Liteiattlre, the Arts, and all the
influences which strengthen or dissipate :•cclety, will be dis-
cussed by men whose independeme and autho; ity are equally
unquestionable, and who are stecusto ned to regard,, the public
ex. ression ct opinion as a serious,i Wing,. fl.lB ia the hef
aim a the rALL-atALI, GAZE'IT to bring into daily
journalism that full measure of thought and culture which is
now found only in Reviews.
At the same time, we by no means intend to make the
paper pedantic or solemn. Humour is too powerful, as well
00 tco pleasant, to be lett out of the design; which will lose
none of the advantages of occasional trifling. If a thing can
be said better in verse than in prose, it will be said in verse.
Epigram, but not spite—burlesque, but not vulgarity—will
be readily admitted into its columns ; and since a joke is
often as illustrative as an argument, good jokes will be wel-
come too.
It will be understo)d that this advertisement is rather a
proclamation of idea and of effort than of promise. But
the proclamation is not made before a large number of able
writers have accepted the idea, and pledged themselves to
the effort.
