THE PALL-MALL GAZETTE.
An Evening Newspaper and Review.
It is difficult to desaibe the plan of an enterprise like the
PALL-MALL GAZETTE without seeming to boast, or to
decry the efforts of others. But we are unwilling to lose the
advantage of a few words of explanation, 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 wil neeb
to educated men and women, the space of the paper willt
be occupied by trifling chronicles, nor by that excess ot words
which adds nothing to the interest of newspaper records,
while it destroys their si.nificance. Literary considerations
alone would determine ue to have our News iteports written
in plain English; but beyond these there is the fact that the
lessons to be bound in many an accident o.f hum
chan life
are
or
social polity are lost in the turgid language in whi they
commonly narrated.
.Events made known by the blowing Papers may be dis-
cussed in P.e PAIL- MALL GAZE ro.: of the same day,
but they wi.l not be reported anew. Trustworthy advices
irom the Money Market will be included in the Dews of the
Da y.
't he rest of the paper (by tar the greater part) will be made
up of original articles. upon the many things which engage
toe the, ghts, or employ the energies, or amuse the leisure of
mankind. Public Affairs, Literature, the Arts, and all the
influences which strengthen or dissipate Society, will be dis-
cussed by men whose independence and authority are equally
unquestionable, and who are accustomed
Tto regards the h the pub of
lic
ex, ression et opinion as a serious thing. hi i
aim of the PALL-MALI. GAZETT ib : 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 a
no mens intend to make the
paper pedantic or solemn. Rumour is too powerful, as well
us too pleasant, to be left out ot 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 said in verse.
lipigram, 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 understoad 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.
