PROSPECTUS OF
THE NEW YORK LEDGER,
FOR 1862.

The Ledger has been more prosperous-has
made more money during the the past twelve
months-than any other paper, either dailyor
weekly published in New York or any other city
in this country. The great reason why the Led
ger has been SO much more successful than all
other papers is, that we have not hesitate to
spend money freely in securing the services OF
all the great and popular writers Of the country
While other papers have been compelled to
economize-to cut down the size of their sheets,
and print on poor quality of paper, we have
on the other hand, been enabled to keep up to
the highest point of excellence, in every respect,
and to avail ourselves of all the Improvements
and novelties which would tend to the gratifica-
ton of our readers We have never offered
any humbug premiums to secure subscribers,
for the reason that We have preferred to put
merit or premium into the paper itself, and in
that way gives every reader the worth OF his
money. Besides nine out OF ten papers that
have offered premiums have been swindling con-
Germs, and every paper that has anything to do
with that sort of thing is sure to die. They are
not conducted on sound business principles.
The following are the names Of some of our
leading contributors for the new year-ls62.
What other paper ever presented such an airy
Of distinguished and popular names: Hon. Ed
ward Everett. Rev. John s. c. Abbott, William
Cullen Bryant, A. Oakley Hall, John G. SAKE,

Alice Cary, Mary Forrest. Miss. E. A. Dupuy,
Mary Stanly Gibson and many clergymen, pro-
fessors in colleges statesmen and other eminent
writers residing in different parts Of the Union
Onr corps of contributors for the coming year
will be SO large, and will embrace such a varie-
ty of eminent talent, that every department Of
literature will receive the particular attention
Of some one competent to do it ample and spe
cial Justice In fact our contributors will send
us from week to week much more matter than
we can possibly use so that we shall always have
q fresh ami superintendent supply from which to
select the very best.
The Ledgers great success is owing to the
fact that we spare no expense in getting up the
best family paper-a paper of high moral tone.
The exalted reputation of its contributors, the
practical and invariably pure and healthy char
acter 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 ev-
er before reached.
As this is the season of the year when Post
masters in others are in the habit of forming
clubs, we direct their particular attention to
OUR TERMS.
