The New World was a weekly newspaper in New York, New York, in the United States, published from 26 October 1839 to May 1845 by Jonas Winchester.[1] The paper was founded and edited by Park Benjamin Sr. It billed itself as an apolitical "family newspaper",[2] featuring British and American literature[3] and religious discourses.[2] The paper's masthead read: "No pent-up Utica contracts our powers; The whole unbounded Continent is ours!", a quote originally attributed to Jonathan M. Sewall from his epilogue to Cato, a Tragedy in 1778.[4]
Notable contributions include:
- Charles Dickens' Barnaby Rudge, reprinted in 1841 in weekly installments after its original appearance in Master Humphrey's Clock.[5]
