The spirit of the age is utilitarian. linz
provement is stamped upon the face of
every thing. A the useful arts are pro-
crossing with unpar alleled rapidity and
the Art of Printing is coming in for its full
share OF the common improvement. De-
termlned not to be out done in any thing
that pertains to his profession, where there
Is a fair chance for exeriions and enterprise,
the Undersigned has determined upon lssu-
ing sheet twice the size of the Boston
Weekly Times, land to take the place of
that paper) and will contain eight columns
more matter than the Brother Jonathan.-
This sheet will be called the Boston Notion
and 1t is determined that It shall fully
sustain cognomen so full of meaning,
and so interviewer with the established
character of our Yankee city. 1t will be
the largest Newspaper in the World with
no exception-and will be printed on a
sheet thirty-seven by ify-two inches. 1t

and will contain three thousand eight
hundred and lightweight square inches, or
twenty-seven square feet of print in fine
type and single number will contain
more reading than an ordinary book Of
three hundred pages. These great dimep-
sions will enable the publisher to draw
largely upon the most popular periodicals
and magazines of the day, both American
and Foreign and as the selections will
be made with great care it is believed this
paper will be welcome Notion to every
family. Besides full synopsis of the
current news of the day Gas published in
the Boston Daily Times) it will contain
Poetry, Popular Tales, Theatrical Critl-
cisms, Police and other Court Reports
