PROSPECTUS
OF
THE NETWORK LEDGER.


; As an Indication Of the popularity of the
LEDGER, we need only state the simple fact
tnat Its circulation is larger than that of any
otherTEN literary papers in the country Its
prletor secures the best writers in the country,
and spares no expense in getting up the BEST
FAMILY PAPER-a paper of high moral tone.
Inc exalted reputation of its contributors, the
pracucsl and invariably pure and healthy
character OF all its articles, the care which is
tax en- that not even one offensive word shall
appear In Its columns. and the superiority OF
NV NJ iHle Wn ana sketches, have gained for the
NEW-YoRK LEDGER position that no lite.
rary paper has ever before reach he'd. We feel,
and always have felt, since the LEDGER at
tanned ITS immense circulation, that heavy
responsibility rests upon us, and have eudeayo.-
ed to discharge that responsibility conscient
lously, feeling confident that ultim ately we
should receive the thanks OF thousands and
tens of thousands of families. ;.
AS to the future we are at a, loss what Ia aa,,
we prefer to PERFORM rather than to pRon5IsE
What we have heretofore done is known TO orr
readers; they know what the EDGE has
Deeh ana Is now, and must therefore Judge
what it will be hereafter We can onlv saw

the LEDGER anonymously; and that our com
pleie arrangements are such that the current
expenses OF the LEDGER are now and will
constantly be at the rate of over three hundred

fACAS Ike these carry with them more
weight than any comments that could he made
and comments will therefore be dispensed with
AsWe nave already intimated, we shall leave
promising to those who prefer to expend their
force in that way, and content ourselves with
ooing what we can to make the LEDGER the
most interesting and instructive FAMILY pa
