It has never failed to receive the warmest support of the best men and journals of the country, and has met with constantly increasing success. Having recently absorbed its younger competitor, "~EVERY SATURDAY~," it is now without a rival in its special field. _A Weekly Magazine_ of sixty-four pages, it gives more than ~THREE AND A QUARTER THOUSAND~ double-column octavo pages of reading-matter yearly, forming four large volumes. It presents in an inexpensive form, considering its great amount of matter with freshness, owing to its weekly issue, and with a _satisfactory completeness_ attempted by no other publication, the best Essays, Reviews, Criticisms, Tales, Sketches of Travel and Discovery, Poetry, Scientific, Biographical, Historical and Political information, from the entire body of Foreign Periodical Literature. During the coming year, the serial and short stories of the ~LEADING FOREIGN AUTHORS~ will be given, together with an amount ~unapproached by any other periodical in the world~, of the best literary and scientific matter of the day from the pens of the above-named, and many other _foremost living Essayists, Scientists, Critics, Discoverers, and Editors_, representing every department of Knowledge and Progress. The importance of The Living Age to every American reader, as the only satisfactorily fresh and ~COMPLETE~ compilation of an indispensable current literature,--_indispensable_ because it embraces the productions of ~THE ABLEST LIVING WRITERS~ in all branches of Literature, Science, Art, and Politics,--is sufficiently indicated by the following recent ~OPINIONS.~ "Ought to find a place in every American Home."--_N. Y. Times._ "In no other single publication can there be found so much of sterling literary excellence."--_N. Y. Evening Post._ "It reproduces the best thoughts of the best minds of the civilized world, upon all topics of living interest."--_Philadelphia Inquirer._ "The best of all our eclectic publications."--_The Nation, New York._ "And the _cheapest_. A monthly that _comes every week_."--_The Advance, Chicago._ "A pure and perpetual reservoir and fountain of entertainment and instruction."--_Hon. Robert C. Winthrop._ "The best periodical in America."--_Rev. Dr. Cuyler._ "Its pages teem with the choicest literature of the day."--_N. Y. Tribune._
