LITTELL'S LIVING AGE. 



Jan. 1, 1891, The Living Age entered upon its 188th 

 Volume. It has met with constant commendation and 

 success. 



A WEEKLY MAGAZINE, 



it gives more than Three and a Quarter Thousand 



double-column octavo pages of reading matter yearly. It pre- 

 sents in an inexpensive form, considering its great amount of 

 matter, with freshness, owing to its weekly issue, and with a 

 completeness nowhere else attempted. 



The Best Essays, Keviews, Criticisms, Tales, Sketches of Travel and Dis- 

 covery, Poetry, Scientific, Biographical, Historical and 

 Political Information, from the entire body 

 of Foreign Periodical Literature. 

 It is therefore invaluable to every American reader, as the only satisfactorily- 

 fresh and COMPLETE compilation of an indispensable current literature — indis- 

 pensable because it embraces the productions of the 



Ablest ILiiviixg; writers 



in all branches of Literature, Science, Politics and Art. 



OPIXIOtfS. 



"It is nearly half a century since the first volume of this sterling publication 

 came from the press, and to-day it stands the most perfect publication of its kind! 

 in the world. . . There is out one Living Age, though many have essayed 

 imitations. While their intent has no doubt been worthy, they have lacked that- 

 rare discriminating judgment, that fineness of acumen, and that keen apprecia- 

 tion of what constitutes true excellence, which make Littell's Living Age the 

 incomparable publication that it is."— Christian at Work, New York. 



" Tt is indispensable to intelligent people in this busy day." — New York Evan- 

 gelist. 



" Certain it is that no other magazine can take its place in enabling the busy 

 reader to keep up with current literature." — Episcopal Recorder, Philadelphia. 



"It is incomparably the finest literary production of modern times. . . It 

 embraces within its scope the matured thoughts, on all subjects, of the greatest- 

 authors and ripest scholars in Europe." — Herald and Presbyter, Cincinnati. 



"Biography, fiction, science, criticism, history, poetry, travels, whatever men. 

 are interested in, all are found here."—- The Watchman, Boston. 



" The readers miss very little that is important in the periodical domain." — 

 Boston Journal. 



"It may be truthfully and cordially said that it never offers a dry or valueless- 

 page." — New York Tribune. 



"To read it is itself an education in the course of modern thought and litera- 

 ture." — Buffalo Commercial Advertiser. 



" Coming weekly, it has a great advantage over the monthly magazines and re- 

 views." — San Francisco Chronicle. 



" For the amount of reading matter contained, the subscription is extremely 

 low." — Christian Advocate, Nashville. 



"It contains nearly all the good literature of the time." — The Churchman, New- 

 York. 



"For the man who tries to be truly conversant with the very best literature of 

 this and other countries, it is indispensable." — Central Baptist, St. Louis.

 ture." — Canada Presbyterian, Toronto.
