NOTICES OF LITTELL'S LIVING AGE. 



HonOon (Ct.) Democrat. This is one 

 of the most popular, most useful, and most exten- 

 sively read periodicals of the present day. Unlike 

 many of the monthlies that are published, and im- 

 posed upon the community, this work abounds with 

 useful and interesting- matter, bringing the past as 

 well as the present age before us in full review, 

 and bearing rich instruction, in so interesting a 

 manner, that no one can read without pleasure and 

 profit. It has received the highest encomiums of 

 the first men of the age. 



ST&e Calendar, ?8artfortr, <t. It is what its 

 name implies, and no one who reads it constantly 

 can fail to keep himself well informed about both 

 the thought and the action of this stirring age of 

 ours. We know from experience how welcome a 

 visitor it has proved in our family, and how ear- 

 nestly it has been inquired after whenever it has 

 failed to make its appearance on its accustomed 

 day. 



W. 3T. (Kajette anO STtmes. It is copiously 

 supplied with judicious selections from the first 

 reviews and periodicals of both the old and the new 

 world. For a comprehensive summary of the liter- 

 ature of the day, this publication is without an 

 equal, and as such it deserves all encouragement. 



W. Y. ffiommerctal &obertlser. The selec- 

 tions from foreign and domestic periodicals, of 

 which this work is wholly composed, are discrim- 

 inatingly made, and in no publication can more 

 good reading be found in a similar space. Its issue 

 in weekly numbers, too, we think a decided im- 

 provement upon the monthly plan of publication. 



ana audits' SQonte journal, 7"f. Y. 

 In our various notices of periodical literature, we 

 have spoken less frequently than our sense of jus- 

 tice prompted, of "LITTELL'S LIVING AGE." 

 The frequent visits of this admirable selection from 

 foreign journals, its wise choice of the best articles 

 and judicious intermixture of American literary 

 and biographical data, together with its low price, 

 render it the most valuable and attractive work for 

 the man of literary taste, political inquiry and 

 habitual economy, (both of time and money,) now 

 published in the United States. It is literally the 

 cream of the English reviews and magazines, 

 served up with punctuality, and on the fairest im- 

 aginable terms. 



Donlestoum ($)a.) Democrat. Of all the liter- 

 ary publications in our country and they are 

 almost as numerous as the sands upon the sea- 

 shore we consider the Living Age the most valu- 

 able. It furnishes weekly a vast amount of the 

 very cream of foreign literature, carefully selected 

 from sterling foreign publications. 



^Temperance Banner, Baltimore, Jtr. This 

 standard weekly continues to maintain its position 

 at the head of the serial publications of this country. 

 It embraces articles on literature, science, art, mo- 

 rality, and religion, culled wjth great care and 

 discreet judgment, from the best fountains of 

 Europe and America. It is in itself an invaluable 

 library, combining, in substance, the information 

 and literature of the English language. 



2Tvue Democrat, ClebelanD, <E>J)io. The very 

 embodiment of the best spirit of the living litera- 



ture of our day. We have books that are books, 

 and this is one of them. The scholars and ripa 

 men of our country regard LitteWs Living Age as 

 a work essential to them, and surely we need not 

 add that it must be useful to every one who will 

 read it. 



State ffiajette, J8ontjjomer2, &!. The 

 work is unlike any other literary publication in 

 the country, it being a reprint of all the choice 

 articles of the foreign periodicals not of the Quar- 

 terlies only, but also of the Monthlies, Weeklies 

 and Dailies, as well as articles of extraordinary 

 interest from American publications. It furnishes 

 besides original contributions from able writers as 

 foreign correspondents. 



Mr. Littell has been long connected with our 

 periodical press, and is extensively known as a 

 judicious and tasteful caterer to the wants of the 

 literary community ; and we know of no publica- 

 tion of a similar character whatever that we con- 

 sider equal to it in interest and value, and the 

 privation of which we should esteem so material 

 a loss. 



fSramtnev, 3Loutsbille, Sj. If we were pro- 

 hibited from reading more than one periodical, we 

 should not feel much disposed to complain of the 

 prohibition, if we were permitted to select Littell's 

 Living Age. It is composed of the best articles 

 of the best periodicals ; and is as much superior to 

 any one of them as the master-piece of the Grecian 

 artist was to any one of the beautiful women who 

 furnished each some particular charm for the repre 

 sentation of perfect beauty. We are delighted 

 with each number as it comes to us. So highly 

 have we been pleased with the work that we have 

 purchased all the back volumes for the use of oui 

 family. 



33anner, (Earrolton, SU. A work which we 

 cordially recommend to every family for its healthy 

 moral tone, its large collection of biography, his- 

 tory, voyages, and travels; its notices of recent 

 and passing events ; besides its rich provision for 

 the imagination. It is a desirable work for all who 

 wish to keep themselves informed of the progress 

 of the present age, in its political and moral 

 bearing. 



Bails &Uberttser, UatJ), j!8e. Each weekly 

 number contains a large amount of matter, consist- 

 ing of selections of the most valuable portions of 

 the whole literature of the age. Those who can 

 afford only a limited yearly addition to their libra- 

 ries should not hesitate to subscribe for this work. 

 It has no embellishments, but its real worth is 

 greater than that of all the other literary magazines 

 in the country put together. 



Democrat, ffioncorB, W. 2$. 

 Each number contains forty-eight pages of the 

 choicest poetical and prose articles to be found in 

 the periodicals of Europe and America. The se- 

 lections are uniformly made with great judgment 

 and care, making, in our estimation, the most 

 valuable, as well as the cheapest, magazine in the 

 United States. Again. The editor possesses 

 rare judgment in " sifting the wheat" from the 

 great mass of current Foreign Literature, and 

 presenting to the American public only such as 

 is worthy to work and live in the mind of the 

 age.
