FIFTY-FIFTH YEAR 



ECLECTIC MAGAZINE 



AND 

 MONTHLY EDITION OF 



LIVING AGE. 



The publisher of The Eclectic Magazine begs to announce that he has made an ar- 

 rangement with the publishers of The Living Age, by which, beginning with the number 

 for January, 1899, tms magazine will be issued under the title "The Eclectic Magazine and 

 Monthly Edition of The Living Age." 



The new issue of The Eclectic Magazine will be increased in size to 160 pages monthly, 

 a change which will give to the subscribers 192 more pages of reading matter annually than 

 hitherto. While the magazine will contain practically the same kind of material as formerly, 

 some changes and additions will be made, which it is believed will largely enhance the value 

 of the publication. To the selection from British periodicals will be added original transla- 

 tions of some of the most noteworthy articles in French, German, Spanish and Italian 

 reviews. A monthly supplement will give Readings from New Books, and an editorial 

 department of Books and Authors will give the latest news in the literary world. 



The Eclectic Magazine and The Living Age have covered practically the same field for 

 more than fifty years. The combination of the two will enable the publishers more fully 

 to develop this field, and to supply to the lovers of good literature, and to all intelligent 

 readers who are desirous of keeping informed upon current thought and discussion, the 

 most important contributions to British and Continental periodicals. Every field of litera- 

 ture, science, investigation, travel, discovery, history, art, biography and fiction will be 

 represented in the magazine. 



The following list gives the principal periodicals selected from, and the names of some 

 of the well-known authors whose articles have recently appeared in the Eclectic.
