Tue ALDISE.-TAis beautiful pictorial
for August has just reached us, and still
maintains its reputation as being the finest
periodical published in America. At the
commencement OF the yearit was scarcely
thought possible that the publishers would
be able to keep up the high standard
with which they started, but the artistic
world has been agrccably surprised as each
successive number is fully cqual-in illus.
trn'ion, typography and literary contcuts
If not superior, in many numbers, to
those first issued. The one before us is ex-
tremely rich in illustration, containing no
less than eight large wool-cuts, three Of
which are full page ones. The literary
matter is fully up to the standard, and Of
varied und interesting nature. As each
number is laid away, and the size Of the
volume at the end Of the year, becomes az
parent, We begin to realize the handsome
pictorial it will make, and to wonder, as,
indeed, every subscriber must do, how it
is possible for the publishers to issue such a
work at $3.50 a year. The proprioters
are James Sutton 4 Co., % Liberty Street,
New York.
