THIS HANDSOME CHURCH PAPER

Has now well advanced into its

SECOND VOLUME,

And the very large Subscription List that it already has proves conclusively that

SUCH A PAPER WAS NEEDED IN THE EPISCOPAL

CHURCH.

The object of the Publishers of THE EPISCOPAL REGISTER has been to give the MASSES of the Episcopal Church a Journal that should be at once attractive by its cheapness, and at the same time, to challenge comparison with any religious newspaper in the land, for fulness of Church News and variety of select family Reading Matter. The columns of THE FPISCOPAL REGISTER are kept kind and courteous in tone, and no attacks are made upon any one.

IT AVOIDS POLEMICAL DISPUTES AND CONTROVERSIES.

INCLUDED AMONG ITS SUBSCRIBERS ARE
NEARLY FIVE HUNDRED

CLERGYMEN,

IN ALL SECTIONS OF THE COUNTRY.

NO OTHER CHURCH PAPER HAS MET WITH SUCH MARKED SUCCESS. Its circulation has doubled within the past year.

LITTELL'S LIVING AGE,

Of which more than One Hundred Volumes have been issued, has received the commendation of Judge Story, Chancellor Kent, President Adams; historians Sparks, Prescott, Bancroft, and Ticknor; Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, and many others; and it admittedly "continues to stand at the head of its class."

IT IS ISSUED EVERY SATURDAY, giving fifty-two numbers, of sixty-four pages each, or more than Three Thousand double-column octavo pages of reading-matter yearly; enabling it to present with a combined freshness and completeness nowhere else attempted,

The best Essays, Reviews, Criticisms, Tales, Poetry, Scientific, Biographical,
Historical, and Political Information, gathered from the entire
body of Foreign Periodical Literature.

The ablest and most cultured intellects, in every department of Literature, Politics, Science, and Art, find expression in the Periodical Literature of Europe, and especially of Great Britain.

The Living Age, forming four large volumes a year, furnishes, from the vast and generally inaccessible mass of this literature, the only compilation, that, while within the reach of all, is satisfactory in the COMPLETENESS with which it embraces whatever is of immediate interest, or of solid, permanent value.

It is therefore indispensable to every one who wishes to keep pace with the events or intellectual progress of the time, or to cultivate in himself or his family general intelligence and literary taste.

Extracts from Recent Notices.

From Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. "Were I, in view of all the competitors that are now in the field, to choose, I should certainly choose THE LIVING AGE.... Nor is there in any library that I know of, so much instructive and entertaining reading in the same number of volumes."

From the Congregationalist, Boston. "None of the eclectics can be matched with this as to substantial value and interest."

From the Boston Post.

"It gives to its readers more than three thousand double-column octavo pages a year, of the most valuable, instructive, and entertaining reading of the day. History, biography, fiction, poetry, wit, science, politics, criticism, art, what is not here? It is the only compilation that presents with a satisfactory completeness, as well as freshness, the best literature of the almost innumerable, and generally inaccessible, European quarterlies, monthlies, and weeklies,a literature embracing the productions of the ablest and most cultured writers living.

From the New-York Evening Post.

"Its strong claim is, that it saves its patrons the necessity of taking any foreign periodicals whatever, as the editors permit nothing good in the whole range of the European magazines and reviews to escape them.... In no other single publication can there be found so much of sterling literary excellence."

From the New-York Tribune.

"The selections always indicate a refined and catholic taste, and a happy art of catering to the popular demands without lowering the standard of sound literature."

From the Williams Quarterly.

"It is inexhaustible. It has as much that is good as a dozen ordinary magazines combined."

From the Lutheran and Missionary, Philadelphia. "An extraordinary value marks many of the articles of this publication, because they are the productions of the ablest men of our times."

From the American Churchman, Chicago. "It has always seemed to us to contain the best poetry, the most able essays and criticisms, and the most interesting stories of any magazine in the English language."

From the Advance, Chicago. "For thinking people, the best of all the eclectic publications, and the cheapest. . . ... It is a monthly that comes every week."

[blocks in formation]

From the Milwaukee Daily Sentinel. "More than ever indispensable, in these days of fre quent publication in expensive English revic vs, of art!cles on the great questions of current inquiry, by such men as Max Muller, Huxley, Tyndall, and many others." From the Richmond Whig.

"If a man were to read LITTELL'S magazine regularly, and read nothing else, he would be well informed on all prominent subjects in the general field of human knowledge."

From the Illinois State Journal.

"It has more real solid worth, more useful information, than any similar publication we know of. The ablest essays, the most entertaining stories, the finest poetry, of the English language, are here gathered together." From the Pacific, San Francisco.

"Its publication in weekly numbers gives to it a great advantage over its monthly contemporaries, in the spirit and freshness of its contents."

From the New-York Evening Mail. "A treasure-house of the current literature of the English-speaking world."

From the Liberal Christian, New York. "Stands sole and alone in its excellence as a collection of the best things in the periodical literature of our time."

From the Christian Examiner, Richmond, "The great eclectic of this country."

From the Chicago Daily Republican.

"It occupies a field filled by no other periodical. The subscriber to LITTELL finds himself in possession, at the end of the year, of four large volumes of such reading as can be obtained in no other form, and comprising selections from every department of science, art, philosopby, and belles-lettres. Those who desire a THOROUGH COMPENDIUM of all that is admirable and noteworthy in the literary world will be spared the troubl3 of wading through the sea of reviews and magazine3 published abroad; for they will find the essence of a compacted and concentrated here."

From the Chicago Journal of Commerce. "We esteem it above all price."
