PROSPECTUS
TIE NETWORK LEDGER.

| As an Indication Of the popularity Of th:
LEDGER, we need only stale the simple fac
! that its circulation Is larger than that Of an,
other TEN literary papers in the country. It
great success is owing TO the fact that its pro
I prietor secures the best writer's in the country
and spares no expense in getting up the BEST
FAMILY PAPER-a paper Of high mora
tone. The exalted reputation Of its eontribu.
tors, the practical and invariably pure and
healthy character Of all its articles, the care
which Is taken that not even one offensive word
shall aDpear in its columns, and the Superiority
of its Tales and sketches, have gained for the
NEW YORK LEDGER a position that no
literary paper has ever before reached. We
feel, and always have felt, since the LEDGER
attained its immense circulation, that a heavy
responsibility rests upon Us, and have endeaV-
ored TO discharge that responsibility conscien-
tiously, feeling confident that ultimately we
should receive the thanks Of thousands and tens
of thousands of families.
As to the future, we are at losS what 70
say. We prefer 10 Perform rather fhan to
PROMISE. What we have heretofore done il
known to our readers they know what the
LEDGER has been and is now and must
therefore Judge what it viii be hereafter. We
can only say that among the contributors 70 the
LEDGER are

FACTS like these carry with them more
weight than any comments that could be made,
