The enthusiastic support so readily accorded
TO tteir enterprise, wherever II has been intro.
durcd, has convinced the publishers OF THE
ALplNE of the soundness OF their theory that
the American public woul d recognize and heartily
supper: any sincere effort TO elevate the tone ana
standard Of illustrated publications. That so
many weakly wicked sheets exist and thrive is
not evidence that there is no market tor thing
better-ndeed the success of TIL Z ALDINE from
the start Is direct proof OF the contrary. With
population so vast, and of such varied taste, a
publisher choose his patrons, and his paper is
rather indicative of his own than of The taste OF
the country. As guarantee OF the excellence OF
this department, the publishers would beg to an.
nounce during the coming year, specimens from
the following eminent American sitists;
