PROSPECTUS
THE rEw-yoRK LEDGER.

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
other TEN literary papers in the country. Its
rreat success is owing 10 the fact that its pro-
1r;etor secures the best writers in the country,
and spares no expense in getting up the BEST
FAMILY PAPER-a paper Of high moral
tone. The exalted reputation of its c0ntribu-
tors. the practical and invariably pure and
healthy character of all its articles, the care
which IL 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. We
feel, and always have felt, since the LEDGER
attained its immense circulation, that q 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 lee what to
say. We prefer to PERFoRh ratN8 than TO
ppoxIaE. What we have heretofore done Is
known to our readers they know what the
LEDGER has been and IL now, and must
therefore Judge what it win be hereafter. We
can only say that among the contributors 70 the
LEDeER are - h1
