THE AID NE:
An illustrated Monthly Journal claim to lie the
handsomesl Paper in the World.
"Give my love to the artist workmen of The Aldipe
who are striving to make their profession worthy Of
admiration for beauty as it has always been for
tulness." Henry Ward Beecher.
THE ALDINE, while issued with all the regularity,
has none of the temporary TIMELY interest char
acterstisc Of ordinary periodicals. 1t isan elegant
miscellany of pure, light and graceful literature and
acoection of pictures, the rarest specimens Of
tstic skill, in black and white. Although each sue
the real value and beauty of the Adne will be most
appreciated after it has been bound up at the close
Of the year. While other publications may claim
liar class, Tie Atdine is unique and original con
ception-alone and unapproached. absolutely withou
competition in price character. The possesser of
the volume Just completed cannot duplicate the
quantity of ino paper and efgravings in any other
shape or number of volumes, for ten times its cost.
Tho labor Of getting The Adine ready on the press
is 50 great that reprihting is out of the question
With the exception Of small number specially re
served for binding the edition of 1871 is already
haustcd, and is as we'll as valuable book

ART ORNAMENT.
The enthusiastic support 50 readily accorded to
their enterprise, wherever it has been introduced
has convinced the publishers of The Aldime of the
soundness of their theory the American public would
recognize and heartily support any sincere effort to
elevate the tone ana standard of illustrated pub
locations. That 50 many weakly wicked sheets exist
and thrive evidence that there's no mark ct for
ANYTHING better-indeed the success of The Al1ine
from the start 10 dre:t proof of the contrary. With
population 80 vast and of such varied TASTE pub
can choose his patrons and his paper is rather
indicative of his own than of the taste country
As guarantee Of the excellence CT the department
the publishers would beg to announce during the
coming year, specimens from the following Ameri-

These pictures are being reproduced without re-
gard to expense BY tho very best engravers In the
country. and will bear the severest comparison with
the publishers that The lldns shall be successful
vndication of American taste in competition with
any existing publication in the world.
LITERARY DEPARTMENT..

get up Of the work, too much dependence on appear

entrusted to Mr.. Richard Henry stoddard, who has
received assurances Of assistance from host of the
