ed has determined upon issuing sheet twice
large as the Boston Weekly Times, land to take
the place of that paper and will cOntuIn eight
columns more matter than the BrOthern Jonathan.
This sheet will be called the BOSTON Nc TION
and it is determined it shall fully sustain a cog
nomen SO full Of meaning, and so interviewer with
the established character OF our Yankee City. 1t
will be the largest newspaper in the world-nO
exception, and will be printed on sheet thirty
seven by ifty-two inches. Ii will be entirely filled
with reeding matter: and will contain three thou
sand eight hundred and lightweight squaree feet
of print in fine type! and a single number will
contain more reading than an ordinary book OF
three hundred pages.-These great dimensions
will enable the publisher to draw largely on 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 in every fami-
". Besides new synopsis of the current news
Of the day, (as published in the Boston Daily
Times) it will contain Poetry, Popular Tales,
Theatrical Criticisms Police and other Court re-
ports, Humorous Articles, &c. &c.
The whole world Ofliterature will be ransack-
ed to fill it. From the study OF Philosophy down
to the Police court, through all the regions of rea-
son, poetry, romance wit, and the ample record
of foil, we shall CLEAN from the past and present
and from all nations, to present as pleasing and
useful combination Of recorded thoughts and cur
rent HISTORY, as the world prOduce.-This is our
