Soft cover. Condición: Good. In 1844 Eliakim Littell started publishing "Littell's Living Age", a weekly literary journal. Mostly it was excerpts from works - both magazine and books - published elsewhere. At times correspondents purported to share material, and sometimes there were bits and snatches of literary news. Trying to place this periodical in the scheme of things, I guess i would say it was a distant forerunner of periodicals like "The Reader's Digest", only with a higher literary pretension. Of particular interest is the announcement on the rear cover for the premier issue of Mary Mapes Dodge's "St. Nicholas Magazine", published by Scribner's. she would edit "St. Nicholas until 1905; the magazine lasted until 1940. Just peruse the table of contents for this issue to understand the nature of "Littell's Living Age" :: - THE PROTESTANT RESTORATION IN FRANCE IN THE LAST CENTURY -- (from "Fraser's Magazine") - JACK AND THE BEANSTALK, PART 1 -- by Miss Thackeray -- (from "Cornhill Magazine") …… Miss Thackeray (Lady Anne Isabella Thackeray Ritchie, 1837 - 1919) was the eldest daughter of English novelist, William Makepeace Thackeray. She was an esteemed writer in her own right, penning novels, essays, and social criticism. She had a good knack for taking old folk-tales -such as this "Jack and the Beanstalk", and revising them to reflect conditions in her time. Thus in this story Jack is a tenant farmer struggling against the greed of his landlord (the Giant). Presented here is Part One of the story. -TURKISH GEORGIA (From "Cornhill Magazine") — The author of this piece of reportage was identified in "Cornhill Magazine" as W.G.P. This was William Gifford Palgrave (1826 - 1888). In this essay about Georgia, he meant to correct the sad, and somewhat thoughtless, dismissal of that country by historian Gibbons. - THE REGENT ORLEANS AND HIS AGE ( from "Temple Bar") - by the Author of "Mirabeau" - NICOLE VAGNON - PART 1 - (from "Temple Bar") - A Story by Katharine Sarah Macquoid (Novelist, 1824 - 1917) Her most famous novel was "Patty". - THE OLD CATHOLIC CONGRESS AT CONSTANCE -- (from "The Saturday Review") - THE LESSONS OF THE AMERICAN MONETARY CRISIS (from "The Economist") - VICTOR EMANUEL'S RECEPTION IN VIENNA AND BERLIN (from "The Spectator") - POETRY : "An Ode" by Arthur O'Shaughnessy; "Gathered Ferns" by H.J.L. TITLE : Littell's Living Age ISSUE : Vol. IV, Fifth Series; From Beginning : Vol. CXIX, No. 1533 DATE : October 25, 1873 IMPRINT : Littell and Gay PLACE : No. 17 Bromfield St., Boston PROVENANCE : From the personal library of Rev.
