THE GREAT FAMILY PAPER.
PROSPECTUS
The New York Ledger.

We intend to make the New YORK LEDGER
for 1861 superior to that of 1850. or of any 9TH
er year in the past. Among our contributors
will be the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES, Edward Everitt, George Ban
croft William Cullen Bryant John G. Sake.
George p Morris, N Willis, George D. Prem.
tice, Thomas Dunn English Sylyanus Cobb. jr.,
Emerson Bennett, I S. Arthur, P. Hamilton
Myers, Col. Walter B. Dunlap, S. Compton
Smith, John Esten Cooke Mrs. Sigourney, Mrs.
Southworth, Fanny Fern, Anna Cora Richie.
Alice Carey, Mary Forrest Marion Harland,
Miss E. A. Dupuy, Mary Stanly Gibson, Phe-
be Cary, and many Clergymen, Professors in
Colleges, Statesmen, and other eminent writer's
residing in different parts of the Union.
Our corps oe contributors for the co ming year
will be so large, and will embrace such variety
of eminent talent, that every department of lit
erature win receive the particular attention Of
some one competent to do it ample and special
justice. Whether it be popular romance sci
entifc essay, historical sketch, scholastic dis
QUESTION, spicy paragraph, pathetic ballad hui
morous poem, old-fashioned love story timely
editorial, or any other ingredient of popular and
elevated journalism, that is to be furnished, the
LEDGER corps will be sufficient for the task.
In fact, our contributors viii send us from week
to week, much more matter than we can posi-
bly, use, so we shall always have a fresh and
abundant supply, from which to select the very
best. These facts, taken in connection with our
largely increased means, facilities and expert
ence, warrant US, we think, in promising our
readers family paper for the year 1851 which
will be more interesting and instructive, and
in every respect more valuable, even than the
LEDGER has been in the past.
As an indication of the popularity of the
LEDGER we need only state the simple fact
that its circulation is larger than that of any
ofh or tn N ~, II
great success is owing to the fact that we secure
the hest writer's in the country, and spare NO
expense in getting up the EEsT FAMILY PAPER
"a paper of high moral tone. The exalted
reputation Of its contributors, the practical and
invariably pure and healthy character of all its
articles, the care which is taken that not even
one offensive word shall appear in its columns,
and the superiority of its tales and sketches
have gained for The New York Ledger position
that no literary paper has ever before reached.
ANNA Cora RITCHIR of Richmond, Va.
