PROSPECTUS
THE NEW-YORK LEDGER.

As an indication of tho popularity OF the
LEDGER, we need only state the simple fac.
that its circulation is larger then that Of any
other TEN litcrery papers in the country. Its
great success is OWN, to the fact that its propr
etor secures the best writer's in the country, ana
spares no expense in getting up the BEST FAM
lily PAPEk-a paper of high moral tone. The
exalted reputation Of its contributors the practi-
cal and invarbly pure and healthy character OF
all its articles, the care which is taken that rot
even one Offensive word shall appear IL it col
umns. and the superiority Of its Tales and
Sketches, have gained for tho NEW YORK
LEDGER position that no literary paper has
ever before reached. We feel, and always have
felt, since the LEDGER attained its immense cir
culation, that heavy responsibility rests upon
Us, and have endesvorcd to discharge that respon-
sibility conscientously, feeling confident that u-
timately we should receive the thanks OF thous-
ands and tens Of thousands Of families.
As to the future, VIC are Mt a. loss what 20 Say
We prefer to PERFORM rather than to PRoEisE.-
What we have heretofore dona is known to our
readers they know what the LEDGER has been
and is now, and must heretofore judge what It
will be hereafter. We can only say that among
