(Advertisement for St. Nicholas Magazine on rear exterior *********************************************** 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. *********************************************** Just peruse the table of contents for this issue to understand the nature of this antique periodical :: ~ 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 1862 Palgrave had traveled through the interior of Arabia, which at that time was totally unknown (Terra Incognito) to the Western World. He was fluent in colloquial Arabic, and thus disguised as a Syrian physician he made his way with a small supply of medicines and the sort into the heart of Najd, where he became friends with Faisla bin Turki, the then ruler of Najd. It was a danger -filled journey, Palgrave almost didn't make it out - but he did, and wrote a book about his adventures. 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" This is an essay of which the style could stand in the King of Purple Prose // ~ NICOLE VAGNON - PART 1 - (from "Temple Bar") - A Story by Katharine Sarah Macquoid (Novelist, 1824 - 1917) Her most famous novel was Patty . She also wrote travel books which were illustrated by her husband, Thomas Robert Macquoid. // ~ 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. ************************************************* CONDITION GOOD ONLY This is a previously owned periodical that remains clean and presentable.
