From Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, May, 1867
Were l, in view of all the competitors now in the
field, to choose, [ should undoubtedly choose the
Living Age. There is not in any library that J
know of so much instructive and entertaining
reading in the same number of volumes.
From the New York Times The taste, judg-
ment and wise tact displayed in the selection Of
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 sound
and pure literature no better service than by refer
ring 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 Post: We venture to say that

be found of equal merit, or at so moderate price
From Clergyman in Massachusetts of much
