EonId say few words respecting sugEes-
tioh which understand has been made by
Colonel Norton to the numerous md inflri-
daily press of the United States. The Com
missioner In question has advised that coi-
lection Of fspecimens Of all the newspapers

AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS.
It Is generally known here that America Is
the country where newspaper literature Is
more universally rcnght homa to the entire
population than any other; but much
doubt whether any inst notion eau be formed
Of what Is really done In that way. 1t seems
TO me that there can be no better mode Of
letting the world lorna correct Judgment
On the subject than that proposed by Colonel
Norton. By the way. The English Comnis-
sion has already resolved upon carrying ont
press. The system upon which the proposal
Is to be carried ont In the United States L.,
I understand, as follows:
By preauangea organization, q specimen
eeps Of the dr*s aamo<r Of every newspaper,
the country In the month Of tanuAsy, 1867,
shalt BE- sent to given place, together with
q statement OF the amount OF Its circulation.
The copies 60 received shall be bound up IN
volumes, chased either By States or by large
with view to Portability aud convenience
Of form. II Is to be hoped that the proprie.
tors Of the publications in question viii, as
body. perceive that the success OF this I'm.
portant feature Of the Exhibition Is matter
which coneerns at ouce their private interests
and the credit OF the country.
