PROSPECTUS FOR 1868
THE NEW YORK LEDGER.
Z THE GREAT FAMILY PAPER.


The reason that the NEW YORK LEDGER has
the largest circulation is that it is the BESr PAPER
Why should it not have the largest circulation? More
labor, more talent more money, are bestowed upon
it than upon any other paper. Its moral is al
WAYS pure and elevated. The lea ing Clergymen OF
he United States. the Presidents OF the principal
Colleges, the greatest Poets Wits and Statesmen OF
the country, among the contributors to Its col
umns.. The reader always gets more than bis
the BEST WRITERS, and Always shall have them,
cost what it may. Whatever we have promised in
our advertisements heretofore, our readers will bear
us witness that we have always performed and not
only that, but great deal more. For instance, in
our last Prospectus, we announced story by HEN
RY7 WARD BEFC FER, which we gave; but we did
not announce HORACE GREELEY's AUI oBroGRA-
PLY, which we are now publishing; did we an
nounce the series of Articles entitled ADVICE TO
Yo0NG MtN, by the Twelve College Presidents.
The rule on which the LEDGER is coudueted is TO
get the best of everything whether it has been pro-
missed or not. The public recognize this fact; ard 1t
is from their desire to obta the very best paper
that they give the LEDGER The preferences hence its
and unapproached circula ion, being
over three hundred thousand copies.
Now, tor the new year: All our present corps of
popular authors will continue to write Tor the LEO
