TUE PALL-MALL GAZETTE.
An Evening Newspaper and Review.
It is difficult to des gibe the plan of an enterprise like the
PA.LL-lIALL AZETTE without seeming to boast, or to
decry the efforts of others. But we are unwilling to lose the
advantage of a few words of xp'anation, and we therefore
trust the candour of the reader for a just interpretation of
our meaning.
The PALL-MALL GAZ :i:TTE will contain all the news
proper to an Evening journal But, addressed as it will
notbe
to educated men and women, the space of the paper will
be occupied by trifling chronicles, nor by that excess ot words •
which adds nothing; to she interest of newsi ap
nsiderater rreords,
while it destroys their si,nificance. Literary coions
alone tw ouid determine us to have our News Reports written
is plain English ; but beyond these there is the fact that the
lessons to be found in many an accident of hum an
life
areor
saliai polity are lost in the turgid language inwhi they
commonly narra'eti.
Events made known by the Morninc.; Papers may be dis-
cussed in the PALL-MALL GAZE. rfl4l ot the same d.iy,
but they wi 1 not be reported anew. Trustwort'iy adviccs
from the Money Market will be inc'udel in the Aews of she
Day.
The rest of the paper ,by far the greater Dart) filch engage
be made
up of original articles, upon. the many things
the thoeghts, or employ the energies, or amuse the leisure of
mankind. Public Affairs, Literature, the Arts, and all the
influences which strenathan or dissipate ziociety, will be dis-
mised by men whose independence and authority are equally
unquestionable, and who are accustomed to regard the public
expression of opinion as a serious thing. Tnis Is the elf of
aim of the PALL-DIALL GAZETTE : to bring into daily
journalism that full meal
views. ur of thought and culture which is
now found only in Ree
At the same time, we by no means intend to make the
paper pedantic or solemn. Humour is too powerful, as well
bs too pleasant, to be lett out 01 the design; which will lose
none ot the advantages of occasional trifling. If a thing can
be said better in verse than in prose, it will be saidinverse.
I,;ptgram, but not spite—burlesque, but not vulgarity—will
be readily admitted into its columns ; and since a joke
often as illustratiN e as an argument, good jokes will be
wel-
come too•
islt will be understood that this sdiertisement is rather a
proclamation of idea and of effort than of promise. But
the proclamation is not made bet,,re a large number of able
writers have accepted the idea, and pledged themselves to
the effort.
