Excerpt from The Phantom Journal: And Other Essays and Diversions
New papers are not exactly an imperative need, although most of us could contrive a sheet nearer to our heart"s desire than that which we find on the breakfast-table. But even though there may be papers enough, I should like just one more to get into circulation: or rather, I should like others to share my good fortune and be put on the free list of a similar organ. For its diligent perusal corrects all the others.
My paper is not a morning paper and not an evening paper (it has no 6.30 edition on sale in the streets at four o"clock) and it is not a weekly paper. It is that new thing, a nightly. One copy only is issued and that is for me, the sole peruser, and I get it in the very small hours. Nor do I get it with any regularity: its issue is the most capricious affair; but when it arrives I am enchanted.
