Democratic Sentinel, Volume 4, Number 48, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 January 1881 — Good Literature. [ARTICLE]
Good Literature.
This is the appropriate name of a weekly newspaper at &O-cents a year y which is certainly one . of the most marvellous products of the now famous “Literary Revolution.” It gives for this pittance about twice as much matter as either of the $4.00 magazines, and is filled with the latest news, that is worth • knowing, about books and authors, condensed. panted opinions of the best literary critics concerning new and standard books, with choice readings from those of greatest interest, reprinting some valuable books entire. It is just now giving serially “Uarda, a Romance of Ancient Egypt,” an historical novel of remarkable interest and beauty, which has justly won rank by the side of Scott’s “Ivanhoe,” Bulwer’s “Pompeii,” and Kingsley’s “Hypatia.” A series of articles on “The Choice of ( Books," by Mr. Chas. ,F. Richardson, is worth, to any thought ful reader, far more than the cost of the paper. A specimen copy will be sent fiee, or the paper will be sent three months on trial for the nominal pjice of 10 cents, by the publishers, the American Book Exchange, Tribune Building, New York City.
