The new Editor concentrated in the columns of his paper a range of information such as had never before been attempted, or indeed thought possible.

His vigilant eye was directed to every detail of his business.

He greatly improved the reporting of public meetings, the money market, and other intelligence,--aiming at greater fulness and accuracy.

In the department of criticism his labours were unwearied.

He sought to elevate the character of the paper, and rendered it more dignified by insisting that it should be impartial.
