Soft cover. Condition: Very 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. TITLE : Littell's Living Age ISSUE : Vol. 2, Fifth Series; From Beginning : Vol. CXVII, No. 1504 DATE : April 5, 1873 IMPRINT : Littell and Gay PLACE : No. 17 Bromfield St., Boston PROVENANCE : Once shelved in the personal collection of Reverend E. P. Powell (Edward Payson Powell, 1833 - 1915), graduate of Hamilton College and Union Theological Seminary. He was a Congregationalist minister, an author of books and an editorial journalist of prolific production. Powell worked in the service of Abolition and civil rights. He was a resident of Clinton N.Y. and Utica N.Y. Powell was a voracious subscriber to periodicals of intellectual nature. He has not signed this item, nor is a subscription mailing label affixed to the exterior. DETAILS : Weekly Periodical; pages [1] - 64 (64 pp); approx. 6 1/4" x 9 1/2" ; pictorial wraps, sewn. Advertisement for "Littell's Living Age" on rear exterior; various advertisements on insides of cover, including one for Burlington College, NJ.
