PROSPECTUS FOR 1868
THE NEW YORK LEDGER.
THE GREAT FAMILY PAPER. i.
All the Greatest Writers Write for it F!

The reason that the NEW YORK LEDGER has
the largest circulation is, that it is the PAPER.
Why should 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
the United Suites the Presidents of the principal
Colleges the greatest Poets, Wits and Statesmen OF
the country among the contributors to its col
MONEYS worth IN tee ne yts have 1sSn Ds
the BEST WRITERS, and Always shall have them,
cost what it may. Whatever we have promised in
advertisements heretofore readers will bear
us witness that we have always performed: and
onlv that, but great deal more. For instance, in
our las Prospectus, we announced story by HEN
RY WARD BEEC sER, which we gave; but we did
not announce HORACE GREELEY'S AUi oDIoGRA-
PLY, which we are now publishing; nor did we an
nounce the series of Articles entitled ADVICE TO
YOJNG MEN, by the Twelve College Presidents.
The rule on which the LEDGER is Conducted is to
get the best feverythng, whether it has been pro-
is from their desire to obtan the very best paper
that they give the Ledger the preference; hence its
unparalleled and unapproached circulation, being
over three hundred thousand copies.
Now, tor the new year: All our present CORPS of
popular authors will continue to write for the LED
by Mrs. SOUTHWORTH; the Hon. HORACE
GREELEY will continue his Autobiography; FAN
NY FERN her sparkling sketc es; JOHN G. SAKE
