Description: Hard to find, complete issue of Boston's weekly Living Age for 21 September 1850 is in very good condition. This number neatly rescued by me from an old and damaged bound volume of the magazine. See photo #2 for complete contents. 47 pages. Outstanding number highlights include: The notable Irish supernatural fiction and occult writer Henry Ferris opens this number with a ghost story headed "The Mysterious Compact." See photo #1 for the first page. "The Moravian Requiem," eleven stanzas of verse, with an introduction, sent along to Boston from the "Bethlehem Grave-Yard." English novelist Anne Manning's serial novel, Deborah's Diary, Part V, here first printed in America. Not published in book form until 1858. W. J. Broderip's (Part VII) "Notes of a Naturalist." J.H. Marsden's "Courtship in the Time of [King] James I." Protestant religious promoter Sir Culling E. Eardley's "Last Days of Bickersteth." Prominent American educator and reformer (elder sister to Harriet Beecher Stowe) Catharine E. Beecher's "Truth Stranger than Fiction." Other news articles, poems, etc. Some author identifications above are drawn from the Wellesley Index.
