An illustrated Monthly Journal claimed to be til,

"Give my love to the artist workmen of The Aldine
who are striving to mako their profession worthy
admiration for beauty, it has always been for use
THE ALDINE. while issued with all the regularity
has none Of the temporary or TIMELY interest char
acteriststic Of ordinary periodicals. It isan elegant
miscellany OF pure light and graceful literature,
acoection Of pictures, tho rarest specimens of ar
tstic skill in black aud white. Although each sue
ceedng number affords fresh pleasul toits friends
the real value and beauty of the Aae will be most
appreciated after it has been bound UP at the close
OF the year. While other publications may claim
superior cheapncss ascompared with rivals Of sim
liar class, 4te Atdine is unique and original con.
ception-alone and unapproachcd. ABSOLUTELY withou
competition in price character. The possesser OF
the volume lust completed cannot duplicate the
quantity of hnc paper anu on cravings in any other
shape or number OF volumes, for ton times its cost
The labor of getting The Atdine ready on the press
IS so great that re-printng is out of the question
With the exception of small number specially
served Tor binding the edition Of 1871 is already
hausted and is now scarce we'll as valuable book
NEW FEATURES FOR 1872
ART DEPARTMENT.
The enthusiastic support readily accorded to
their enterprise. wherever it has been introduced
has convinced the publishers of The Aldiae of the
oundness Ut their theory the American public would
recognize and heartily snpolt any sincere effort to
elevate the tone ana standard of illustrated pub
lc!tlons. That SO ran, weakly wicked sheets exist
and thrive Is noe evidence that there's mark for
an, thing better-indeed the success of The Aldsne
from the art is dire prooi of the contrary. With
population so vast land of such varied taste pub
Usher can choose his patrons. and his paper is rather
indicative of his than Of the taste of the country

can artists:

These pictures arc being reproduced without re-
gard to expense by the ver} best engravors In the
the best foreign wrk it being the determination of
the publishers that The Aldine shall be a successful
vindication Il American taste in competition with
any existing publication in the world.
