OuaPtO New World.
PROSPECTUS OF FOURTH VOL.
COMMENCING JANUARY /, 1912.
EDITED BY PARK BENJAMIN.

DURING the two years which have elapsed since
" The New World" was begun, it has been the eff
fort of the Editor to render it the most READABLE
newspaper of the day. To this end the proprietoTs
have literally contributed. Neither trouble nor ex-
pense has been spared. The most popular books
and periodicals have been purchased. The best
contributors have been engaged. A correspondence
with the most interesting paris Of the world has
been established. In short, the best arrangements
have been made to publish an independent literary
journal, acceptable 10 all classes of readers. The
editor think of nothing which has been left I'M
done to enhance the value and to elevate the char
acteF Of the New World.
It's success has been most encouraging. 1t will
commence the new year with circulation of about
TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND COPIES, a lar
ger number, il is believed, than is issued of any
other weekly paper ia Great Britain or the United
States This success is imputed chiefly TO two rea.
sons: fiFst to its having contained unprecedent
cd number OF excellent articles by themost popular
authors; second, to its having Pssumed and Ob-erv.
ed an elevated moral tone. Its columns are un-
contaminated by party politics. and It's ample pages
unsoiled by profine and improper iesis, lgar au
sions or ireigious sentiments; and therefore it finds
It's warmest welcome by the domestic hearth, and
receives its highes approx al from that SEX whose
rights II has maintained, in whose delicacy il has
never offended, and whose mental aud social supe-
rlority it has labored to vindicate.
About to enter upon a year, and to COM
mence another volume, we proceed to mention
few inducements for old friends to continue with U.S.
and for new friends to join their company. No
change whatsoever will be made III the manner OF
editing and conducting the New Wor d; but it will
receive in all its departments fresh accessonS of
bility. Many ahle writers will grace our columns.

the exclusive literary services Of DONALD MACLEOD,
Francis J. GRUND, and BRANTz MAYER, Esquires
