BOSTON MOTION.
The largest and the Cheapest Newspaper
IN the World

ne spirit OF tne age IS utllltaTldu.-
provement is stamped upon the face OF
every thing. All The useful arts are pro-
crossing with unparalleled tapidIty ; and
the Art of Printing is coming IN lor Its iull
share of the common Improvement. De
termined not to be out done in any thing
that pertains to his profession, where there
is fair chance for exertions and enterprl2e,
the undersigned has determined upon lssu-
ing a sheet twice the size of the Boston
Weekly Times, (and to take the place OF
that paper) aud viii contain eight columns
more matter than the Brother jonathan
This sheet will be called the Boston Notion
and it is determined that 1t shall fully
sustain a cognomen SO full of meaning,
and SO interviewer with the established
character Of our Yankee city. 1t will be
the largest Newspaper in the Word,--with
no excepion-and will be printed on a
sheet thirty-seven by ffiy-two inches. 1t
will be entirely filled with reading matter,
and will contain three thousand eight
hundred and lightweight square inches, or
twenty-seven square feet of print in fine
type ! and a single number will contain
more reading than an ordinary book of
three hundred pages. These great dimen-
tions will enable the publisher to draw
largely upon the most popular periodicals
and magazines of the day, both American
and Foreign j.; and as the selections will
be made with great care it is believed this
paper will be a welcome Notion to every
family. Besides a full synopsis Of the
current news of the day as published in
the Boston Daily Times) it will contain
Poetry, Popular Tales, Theatrical Critl-
cisms, Police and other Court Reports
Numerous articles, SC. sc.
The whole world of literature will be
ransacked to fill it. From the study of
the philosopher, down to the Police Court
through all the regions Of reason, poetry
romance, wit, and the ample record Of folly,
we shall CLEAN from The past and the present
and from all nations, to present as pleasing
and useful combination of recorded
thought and current history, as the world
can supply or industry produce. This is
our "BOston Notion"

Of wit and phllosophy-of novelties and
antiquities-We are enabled to offer week.
