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 in the United States and Europe; in fact it may be considered as a nineteenth century precursor to "Reader's Digest", only with a higher literary pretension. At times correspondents purported to share material, and sometimes there appeared original works. Sometimes there were bits and snatches of literary news; there were sundry various poems by individuals, many of whom are now mostly forgotten.
