NOTICES OF LITTELL'S LiHNG AGE. 



N . JQome journal. This, in our opinion, 

 is the hest publication of its kind in the world. 

 Six dollars a year could not, by any possibility, be 

 better expended than in the purchase of this most 

 interesting and valuable periodical. Again. It 

 answers, in a measure, the purpose of an Annual 

 Register. Besides the literary treat it so punctu- 

 ally affords, w are pleased to find in its^ columns 

 the most important articles on the political affairs 

 of Europe, extracted from foreign and domestic 

 journals. The pithy communications to the Lon- 

 don Examiner, and the best descriptive letters from 

 Americans abroad to journals at home, find a place 

 beside the stately lucubrations of the Quarterly, and 

 the vivacious genialities of the Magazines. Again. 

 At this season, when the reading public are deciding 

 upon their subscriptions to periodical literature, for 

 the ensuing year, we feel it incumbent upon us to 

 call special attention to " LitteWs Living Age." It 

 appears with rare punctuality, and is filled with the 

 spice of the English journals, and the articles de- 

 voted to the prominent topics of the day ; the best 

 reviews, tales, essays, poems, and sketches. Its 

 value is much enhanced by the judicious selections 

 from the American press. There is no single 

 work published which is so calculated to inform 

 and entertain readers with the spirit of the age 

 critical, political, and literary. The management 

 of the work has been highly approved by all our 

 leading men. 



American, SSPatetfeurs, <onn, This work has 

 so long maintained a conspicuous position in the 

 current literature of the day, that it requires only 

 to be known, to be valued. It is composed of a 

 judicious selection from all the foreign periodicals 

 of high standing, thus giving the very spirit of the 

 whole in a small and readable compass for a com- 



Earatively small sum. The last number contains 

 jading articles from ten different magazines, be- 

 sides some eight minor selections. 



W. Y. Commercial ^Dbetttser. For miscel- 

 laneous reading, there are few if any periodicals 

 which compete with the Living Age. 



, tESJestffelD, W. "". It is a glean- 

 ing of the best articles of the foreign magazines. 

 It is a history of the literary world from week to 

 week. You see in it what has tickled the fancy 

 of the Parisian within a month. The article that 

 has been the theme of English " table talk," or 

 that has stirred the German mind from the stagna- 

 tion of its excessive abstractions to healthful vigor, 

 within a few weeks past, is before you in the Age. 



V!. ST. <{)rtstian inquirer. Rich as ever ; 

 containing the best things that have been said on 

 the most interesting topics of the day. 



^Journal, Cabana, W. ". We have received 

 the first two January numbers of this very valuable 

 work. Though all that we have ever owned, they 

 are not all that we have ever read and admired. 

 LittelPs Living Age has established for itself a 

 reputation of which its proprietors may be justly 

 proud that of being the best reprint of sound and 

 readable literature published in the country. 



33aUw &lJbertts?t, "Netoavfc, W. 35. It repro- 

 duces in weekly inbtalments of some 50 pages much 

 of the most valuable matter of the foreign periodi- 

 cals. together with a general survey of the course 



of matters and things at home. Its selections indi 

 cate good taste, and among the weekly publications 

 of the country we know of no one that has so many 

 attractions for readers who desire to keep an eye 

 upon the current literature of the day. It is well 

 printed in octavo form, and paged for binding. 



ffiajette, 33urltnjjton, N. $. It maintains, with 

 unswerving interest, its very high character. The 

 amount of choice reading which it supplies weekly, 

 from the principal newspapers, magazines, and re- 

 views, in this country and Europe, is really im- 

 mense. 



Christian ffijjronicle, ^tyila. We sincerely 

 pity any of our readers whose limited intellects or 

 purses debar them from the pleasure of this weekly 

 visitant. We should feel lost without it. It is 

 true to its high aims, and republishes the best con- 

 tributions to foreign periodical literature. A single 

 number is oftentimes worth the annual subscription. 



journal, ^tttslmvsJ), $a. Of all the 

 weekly publications in the United States, LiltelVs 

 Living Age stands at the head. It is an old pub- 

 lication ; and affords to its readers the cream of all 

 the scientific, literary, and political publications, 

 domestic and foreign. Such a work cannot fail to 

 meet with the approbation of every lover of science, 

 literature, and politics. 



38anner of t&e (Kross, $J)tla. This admirable 

 collection of articles, from the best of periodicals, 

 continues to sustain its high character. We always 

 receive it with pleasure. There is great judgment 

 shown in the selection of articles, so as to mingle 

 instruction and entertainment. 



CSHn Chester, Vs. This work 

 offers renewed attractions for the present year, con- 

 taining as it does the choicest selections from the 

 American press, and the spice of all the foreign 

 magazines and quarterlies known to the literary 

 world at large. To statesmen, divines, lawyers, 

 physicians ; to men of business and men of leisure ; 

 to the office and the hearth-side, it presents itself 

 with equal interest. In this age of cheap litera- 

 ture, a work which girds itself firmly and resolutely 

 against the influx of what is depraved and vicious 

 in morals, commends a notice from a respectable 

 and reading community, without further comment. 

 An immoral and sensual appetite will meet with 

 no gratification from a perusal of its pages ; its 

 aspirations seek to cater for no such depraved taste. 

 We predict for it, from its large and invaluable 

 collection of biography, voyages, travels, history, 

 and other substantial matter, the popularity which 

 it eminently deserves. That which seeks to ele- 

 vate the standard of literary worth, demands encour- 

 agement ; the floods of cheap and valueless produc- 

 tions which have deluged this country for past years, 

 have, by working their own cure, awakened an 

 appreciation of a better order of literature. 



firistfan bserber, ${>UaDel})J)fa. It is one 

 of the most interesting and valuable publications of 

 the day. It is a literary repository, richly and 

 amply filled with the most readable articles in the 

 reviews and journals of Europe. Being issued 

 every week, it keeps pace with the movements of 

 the world, and exhibits the living, restless spirit of 

 the age, as developed in its literature, science, com- 

 merce, politics, and in the various arts of life.
