THE GOLDEN RULE & ODD-FELLOWS' FAMILY COMPANION, New York, January 30, 1847 A small-size periodical with: "Popular Literature, Instruction and Amusement" as noted in the masthead. A very ornate & intricate engraving in the masthead. Has 16 pages, minor foxing & edge wear.The greatest feature of this issue is the printing of the entire  "The Battle Of Life - A Love Story", by Charles Dickens, taking nearly 17 pages.  Great to have the entire story within a single issue, within less than a year of its 1st printing.  The issue is complete and is in very good condition save for the typical foxing (see images).
