LITTELS LIVING AGE FOR lS17.-
This Standard periodical, now over
thirty-thrce years old, doubtless af-
fords the most comprehensive and, all
things considered, the cheapest means
of keeping well informed In the best
literature of the day. To this fact,
more generally recognized every year,
may be attributed its continued and
increasing success.
The ablest living writers in science,
fiction, history, biography, philoso-
ply, poetry, theology, politics, criti-
cism and art, are represented in its
papes. A list of some of them will be
found in the prospectus published in
another column, affording sufficient
evidence Of the quality Of the maga-
zine, while in quantity Of reading 1t
is unapproachcd by any other periodi-
cal.
1t Is, In short, the only thorough
compilation Of an indispensable cur
rent literature ure-indispensable because
it embraces the work OF the foremost
writer's upon all topics of living In
terest; and as such, its importance
and convenience to every American
reader can hardly be eover-estimated. II
has always ranked as chief among the
eclectics, it has absorbed its compe-
titor, "Euery ,Saturdoy;;" and in the
multitude of quarterlies, monthlies,
and weeklies, 1t can hardly be dispen-
sed with by any person or family de-
string satisfactory compendium of
whatever is of immediate interest or
permanent value in the literary world.
For few years an extra offer is
made to all new subscribers, and re-
duced clubbing rates with other peri
odicals are also given, by which n
subscriber is, at remarkably small
cost, put in possession of the cream of
both home and foreign literature
Our readers who are selecting their
periodicals for the year would do well
to examine the prospectus. There
can hardly be any other way of OBJ
tanning SO cheaply or conveniently SO
much of the best work OF the best
minds of the time.
