XXIITH multiplied resources for rendering the
w NEW WoRLD more valuable than ever as
a cempendious newspaper and repository Of elegant
literature, we enter upon the second volume (folo)
on the Gath Of October, dressed in beautiful garb
of neW fype, cast expressly for the purpose. 1t
will therefore be fitting time to commence new
subscriptions, as well as for the renewal Of those
which may then expire.
During the first year of the exisance Of the
New WoRLp, it has acquired reputation and
circulation superior to any weekly paper in the
country and has furnished to its subscribers, during
that period (besdes all the current Of the day,
domestic and foreign) new and valuable works by
laliourd, D'Israeli, Thomas Moore, Miss Milford,
Mrs. Jameson, &. Dickens, Answorth, Knowles,
Buwer, Marryat, and othcrs-works, which in Lon.
don could not he purchased for fifty times the
amount of the subscription price of the New
Would. In addition 10 works of interest by these
eminent authors, it has contained the cream Of the
periodical literature of the day, as well as original
articles from the pens Of some of the most popular
writers of America, among whom we may mention
Miss Sedgwick, Orville Dewey, Professor Longfel-
low, the author of yankee Notions" Simms,
Street, &c. &c.
In politicks we SHALL as hitherto, maintain an
armed neutrality y.-Our columns as heretofore will
be unohjectonabe in a moral point of view. In
criticism shall, in justice to the public, MAINTAIN
u
vengence of all the ounces. We shall, in conclu-
sion, earnestly strive to render our sheet not only
worthy of the unparalleled favour it has experianced,
but of continually extending circulation. While
we continue to furnish with all possible promtitude
the most attractive literature of the day, we shall,
means enlarge, afford that compensation to
native authors, which may induce them to make
the New World the medium for presenting TO the
public their best productions. Our excellent Lon
IL n ba
tention will be paid to the comercial, agricultural
and news departments Of OUT paper.
