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. (Burlington College recently became Rowen College - the old college campus sits abandoned ? a 'ghost college') CONTENTS : ** EXPLORATIONS - (from "Blackwood's Magazine") ** The Parisians (Part II) , by Lord Lytton (from "Blackwood's Magazine") ** Mendicity : From a Clerical Point of View - by Henry Whitehead -- [he was a Church of England Priest and was instrumental in revealing the source and patient zero of the 1854 London cholera epidemic. Whitehead was important in the development of epidemiology.] (from "Contemporary Review") ** A Slip in The Fens - conclusion of a serialized anonymous novel (from Macmillan's Magazine) ** Enigmas of Life - by W. R. Greg (from "Blackwood's Magazine") ** South Sea S_____ : Kidnapping and Murder - by Edwin Gordon Blackmore [Blackmore, 1837 - 1909, was a South Australian politician and former soldier in the New Zealand Army, fighting in the Maori War] (from "Macmillan's Magazine") ** Carvings, Ancient and Medieval (from "Chamber's Journal") ** POETRY : "How Doth Death Speak of Our Beloved?" ; "March" ; "Hidden in Light" by Frances Ridley Havergal [Havergal, 1836 - 1879, was an English religious poet and composer of hymns] CONDITION -- VERY GOOD -- This is a previously owned periodical that remains clean and presentable, with the following particulars noted : The bottom edge of the overlapping cover is ragged, with small tears and creasing (typical for such extended covers); there is a vertical crease running through the entire issue. On the interior are a few, various smudges and spots, none of which are especially egregious, the interior being on the whole clean and presentable. The binding is solid. A clean, presentable specimen.

Staplebound. Condition: Very good +. First Edition. Five staplebound periodicals, each about 24pp., folded horizontally. Printed on cheap paper, but still in very good or better condition, with only a few mild chips at some of the folds and edges, with no notable loss. A very uncommon full run of this short-lived journal of cultural criticism focused on classical, orchestral, operatic, and chamber music. The Editors note in the first issue that there is an almost oversaturation of writing on the New York Philharmonic and similar major organizations, while smaller venues such as the New School of Social Research were getting hardly any critical coverage. "Listen" was an attempt to remedy this situation. Contributors included Sergei Prokofieff, Edward Jablonski, Leonard Bernstein, Igor Stravinsky, and dozens of others. Despite a scattering of institutional holdings, the magazine is scarce in commerce; we found none in the market as of this listing, and none in recent auction records.
