Excerpt from The American Presbyterian and Theological Review, 1864, Vol. 2 We now leave the author Of this laborious and important historical work, and resent the results Of our own investiga tion concerning the Eatin Patriarchate. We confine ourselves to the period which may be called emphatically the patri archal eriod in the development of the hierarchial organiza tion 0' the church, and the common basis Of the Greek and Latin hierarchy, but at. A point, when the Latin patriarch already raised the claim of a still superior dignity and autho rity above all the Greek patriarchs of the East. The full development Of the pa. Acy proper was the work Of the Middle Ages, and woul carry us beyond the limits of the work which we placed at the head of this article. The original organization Of Christianity under its visible form as an institution not Of, but in, and for, this world, was the apostolical, which stands by itself, different from all subse quent organizations, and yet the fountain head from which they have derived whatever Is essential and permanently valuable in them. For the apostles are not dead, but still live in and for the church they founded, and speak through every true servant Of Christ and minister Of the gospel, whether he be a Greek or Latin metropolitan, or an Anglican bishop, or a Presbyterian pastor, or a Congregational preacher.

The first volume of this work, covering the period from 1741-1850, was issued in 1931 by another publisher, and is reissued now without change, under our imprint. The second volume covers the period from 1850 to 1865; the third volume, the period from 1865 to 1885. For each chronological period, Mr. Mott has provided a running history which notes the occurrence of the chief general magazines and the developments in the field of class periodicals, as well as publishing conditions during that period, the development of circulations, advertising, payments to contributors, reader attitudes, changing formats, styles and processes of illustration, and the like. Then in a supplement to that running history, he offers historical sketches of the chief magazines which flourished in the period. These sketches extend far beyond the chronological limitations of the period. The second and third volumes present, altogether, separate sketches of seventy-six magazines, including The North American Review, The Youth's Companion, The Liberator, The Independent, Harper's Monthly, Leslie's Weekly, Harper's Weekly, The Atlantic Monthly, St. Nicholas, and Puck. The whole is an unusual mirror of American civilization.
