From the late President of the United States,
John Quincy Adams OF all the periodical
Journals devoted to literature and science, which
abound in Europe and this country, THE LIVING
AGE has appeared to me the most useful"
From Rev. Henry Ward Beccher, May, 1867
{" Were /, in view of all the competitors now in
the field, to choose, should undoubtedly choose
THE LIVING AGE. There Is not, i'll any library
that l know OF, much obstructive and enter
tanning reading in the same number of volumes"
From the New York Times" The taste, judy
ment, and wise tact displayed in the selection CT
articles, are above all praise, because they have
never been equalled."
From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican,
We can do those among our readers who love
und and pure literature no better service than
by referring them to this sterling weekly. 1t is
decidedly the best magazine OF its class published
in the United States if not in the world.'
From the Boston Positive venture TO say
that i'm no other form can work OF similar
character be found of equal merit, or at so mod
crate price"
From the Church Union, New York, Aug. 10,
1Stj7.-"Its editorial discrimination is such as
ever to afford its readers an entertaining resume
of the best current European magazine literature.
and so complete as to satisfy them Of their hay
ing no need to resort to its original sources. In
this regard, deem it the best issue of its kind
eXtant.'
From the New York Independent-"No one
can read, from week to week, the selections
brought before him in THE LIVING AGE, without
becoming conscious of qulckenlng OF his own
faculties, and an enlargement of his mental
horizon. Few private libraries, of course, can
now secure the back volumes, sets of which are
limited and costly: But public libraries in towns
and villages ought, il possible, to be furnished
with such treasury of good reading; and indi-
viiuals may begin as subscribers for the new
series. and thus keep pace in future with the age
in which they live"

stories the finest poetry OF the English language
are here gathered together"
From the New York Home journal, June H.
1857 LITTELL's LIVING AGE, long distinguish
ed pioneer in the republication OF the choicest
foreign periodical literature, still holds the fore
I most rank among works ofits class. Its standard
of selections is high tone; and its contents are
not only of interest at the present moment, but
possess an enduring value. Its representation OF
the foreign field of periodical literature is ample
and comprehensive; and it combines the tasteful
and erudite, the romantic and practical, the
social and scholarly, the grave and gay, with
skill which is nowhere surpassed, and which is
admirably suited TO please the cultivated reader "
From the Protestant Churchman, June27, 1857
