LITTELL'S

LIVING AGE.

E Pluribus Unum.

"These publications of the day should from time to time be winnowed, the wheat carefully preserved, and
the chaff thrown away."

"Made up of every creature's best."

⁠⁠"Various, that the mind
Of desultory man, studious of change,
And pleased with novelty, may be indulged."
