ProSPeCtI1S
OF
THE NEW YORK LEDGER
FOR 6 ..

The LEDGER has been more prosperous-has made
more money during the past twelve months-than any
other paper, either daily weekly, published in New
York or any other city in this country The great
reason why the LEDGER has been much more sue
cesshl than any or all other papers is that we have
not hesated to spend money freely in securing the
services of all the great and popular writers Of the
country. Willie 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 our
selves OF all the improvements and novelties which
would tend TO the entertainment and qualification of
our readers. We have never offered humbug pre-
mums to secure subscribers for the reason that we
nave preferred to put merit or premium into the paper
Itself, and in that way gives reader than
the worth Of his money. Besides nine out Of every
ten papers that have offered premiums have been
swndling concerns and any paper that has anything
to do with that sort of thing is sure to die Then are
not conducted on sound business piinciDles.
The following are the names Of some of our leading
contributors for the year-ls62. What other
paper ever presented such an array OF distinguished
and popular names:
Hon. EDWARD EVERETT Rev. JoHN S. C. ABBoTT,
WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT, A. OAKLEY HALL, JoHN
G. SAKE, GEoRGE Z. Morris, n. p. WILLIS, GEORGE
ID. PRENTICE, SYLvANUs COBB JR., EMERSON BEN
NETT, WILLIAM Ross WALLACE T. S. ARTHUR z.
HAMILTON MYERS, Col WALTER b. DUNLAP Mrs.

CORA RITCHIE, ALICE CARY MARY FoRREsT, Miss
l.. A. DUrUY- MARY STANLEY GIBSON, and many
clergymen, professors in colleges, statesmen, and 9th
or eminent writers 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 emf
nent talent that every department of literature will
receive the particular attention of some one compe-
tent to do it ample and special 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 fresh and 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 PAPEn-a paper Of high moral tone. The ex-
ted reputation of its contributors, the practical and
invariably pure and healthy character of all its arti
eesi the care which Is taken that not even one often
sNe WORD shall appear in its columns and the SUI
berl0rlty OF It's Tales and Sketches have gained for
