IN The World.
The spirit of the age is utilitarian.-lm-
provement is stamped upon the face OF
every thing. All the useful arts are pro-
crossing with unparalleled rapidity; and
the Art of Printing is coming in for its full
share OF the common Improvement. De-
termined not to be out done in any thing
that pertains to his profession, where there
is a fair chance for exer,ions and enierprize,
the undersigned has determined upon lssu-
ing sheet twice the size of the Boston
Weekly Times, (and to take the place of
that paper) and will contain eight columns
more matter than the Brother Jonathan

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 World.--with
no excep,on-an will be printed on a
sheet ,hirty-scven by fi6y-two inches. 1t
will be entirely filled with reading matter,
and will contain three thousand eigh:
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 dimen-
sons 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
phper will be welcome Notion to every
family. Besides 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

not wi,hsiandng. He also assures them
that he is determined it shall always be the
largest-and in the course of two or three
weeks he fatiers himself the public will
likewise, with one acclaim, pronounce it
the handsomest.
