PROSPECTUS
The New York Ledger.


We intend to make the New YoRK LEDGER
for 1851 superior to that of 1860 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. P Willis, George D. Prem
tice, Thomas Dunn English, Sylvanus Cobb jry
Emerson Bennett, 7. 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 OF contributors for the coming year
will be so large, and will embrace such a variety
of eminent talent, that every department of lit
erature will receive the particular attention of
some one competent to do it ample and special
justice. Whether it be popular romance sci
entiic essay, historical SKETCH scholastic dis
QUESTION, spicy paragraph, pathetic ballad hui
mor0us 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 will send us from week
10 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
hest. These facts, taken in connection with our
largely increased means, facilities, and expert
enee. warrant US, we think, in promising our
readers family paper for the year 1861 which
viii 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 re need only state the simple fact
that its circulation is larger than that of any
other TEN literary papers in the country. It's
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 Y ork Ledger position
that no literary paper has ever before reached.
ANNA Coma Richie of Richmond, Va,
and Col WALTER B. DUNLAP, the author of the
popular h Forest Sketches, I" which were pub
hshed in our umns some time since, will each
begin a story in the Ledger early in the new
year. Mrs. SoUTHwoRTH is also engaged upon
new talo.

publish very interesting article, written ex-
pressly for our columns, entitled, /" A Day with
Bancroft.

giant and interesting contributions to the Ledger
