|THE ALDINE:
An illustrated Monthly Journal claimed to be the
handsomest Paper in the World.
"Give my love to the artist workmen of III. Aldine
who striving to make their profession worthy OF
admiration for beauty as it has always been for use

THE ALDINE. while issued with all tho regularity
has none of the temporary TIMELY interest char:
acteristisc Of ordinary periodicals. 1t isan slegan,
acollecton of pictures the rarest specimens Of ar
tistic skill, In black and white: Although each sue
ceeding number affords fresh pleasul toits friends
the real value and teauty Of the Adne will be mos,
appreciated after it has been bound up at the clos.
OF tho year. While other publications may claim
superior cheapness compared with rivals Of sim
liar class, The Atdine is unique and original con
ception-alone and unapproached. absolutely withou
competition in price or character. The possesser o.
the volume Just completed cannot duplicate the
quantity of 1ine paper and cravings 10 any other
The labor Of getting The Aldine ready on tho press
is so great that re-prnting is out Of the question
With the exception of small number specially re-
served for binding the edition of 1871 is already

NEW FEATURES FOR 1872.
ART DEPARTMENT..
The enthusiastic support 80 readily accorded to
their enterprise, wherever 1t has been introduced
has convinced the publishers of The Aldine of the
soundness of their theory theAmerican public would
elevate the tone ana standard of illustrated pub
LEGATIONS. That so many weakly wicked sheets exist
and thrive is evidence that there mark ct for
anything better-indeed the success of The ALline
from the sart is diret PROOF of the contrary. With
population vast, aud of such varied taste, pub
Usher can choose his patrons and his paper is rather
indicative of his than of the taste of tho country
As guarantee Of the excellence Of the department
the publishers would beg to announce during the
coming year, specimens from the following Ameri-
can artists:
VT. Richards, Granville Perkins. James, Smiley,
VIM. Hart, +. 0. G. barley, Il. r. E. Piguet William
Bread, Veto Nehig, Frank Bread, Geo. Smiley, VIM.
II. Wilcox, Paul Dixon Aug. Will. james II. Bread,
j. Howe.
These pictures are being reproduced without re-
gard to expense by the very best engravers in the
country, and will bear the severest comparison with
the publishers that The Aldine shall be successful
vindicaton Of American taste in competition with
any existing publication in the world.
LITERARY DEPARTMENT..
Where much attention is paid to illustration and
cot up Of the work too much dependence on appear
""'es may very naturally be feared. To anticipate
s".h nisavings, it is only necessary to state that
the editorial management of The Aldine has been
entrusted to Mr. Richard Henry Stoddard, who has
received assurances of assistance from host of the
most popular writer's and poets of the country.
