THE LITERARY DIGEST.
"The Literary Digest" is a Weekly Compendium of the Contemporaneous
Thought of the World. It is found by its subscribers to be indispensable as enabling
them to keep abreast of the times in all departments of knowledge. It is a neces-
sity for all who have neither the time to read all the best periodicals of the world, nor
the money to spare the purchase them. " The Literary Digest" tells what thousands
of men, many of whose views may differ from yours, are thinking about; it opens for
its subscribers small windows from which they behold the great intellectual move-
ments of the world. It puts at the disposal of its readers ideas and documents which
are scattered among all nations. It is a periodical summary of the human mind. It
selects, condenses, translates, etc., each week, the best articles from the leading
magazines, journals, and reviews of the world. Its Book Digests are not reviews,
"books notices," nor critiques, but faithful Digests, letting the book tell its own
story. Its Cosmopolitan Chronicle of Current Events, and its Index of Current
Literature each week, can be cut out and filed, for ready reference at any time.
Its carefully selected and Classified Extracts, each week, from the Press of the
United States and Europe, on all Vital Topics of the day, are alone worth the sub-
scription price for a year, A copious and valuable Index to the whole, at end of
each volume, is given free to subscribers. The subscription price is but $3.00 per
year ; single copies, 10 cents.
A single volume, consisting of twenty-six numbers, contains six hundred and
seven articles from magazines, as follows: Eighty American, 56 English, 89 French,
28 German, and 27 from magazines published in Denmark, Finland, Italy, India, Je-
rusalem, Korea, Norway, Russia, Sweden, Spain, and Turkey ; on subjects : 126 Po-
litical, 124 Sociological, 119 Educational, etc., 128 Science, 69 Religious, and 41 Miscel-
laneous. Also about 2,000 extracts from the press of this country and Europe,
including extracts from newspapers from Canada, Jamaica; Panama, Brazil, Chili,
England, Ireland, France, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Germany, Austria, Bulgaria,
Egypt, Africa, India, China, Japan, New Zealand, and Hawaii, all carefully trans-
lated into English, by our editorial staff, especially for "The Literary Digest."
Oliver Wendell Holmes writes: "'The Literary Digest' seems to me to supply
a want which is felt alike by professional scholars and common readers." A. P.
Peabody, D.D., LL.D., Cambridge, Mass., writes: "'The Literary Digest' will be of
more substantial" value to men whe are both reading and working men than any
other existing periodical."
Representative men in all walks of life write in commendation of this periodical.
No intelligent reader should be without it.
