THE ,ALDINE, while issued with all the regq-,
larity, has none of the temporary or tinaety in
terest characteristic Of ordinary periodicals. 1t
is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and
graceful literature and a collection of pictures,
the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in black
and white,'i Although each succeeding number
value and beauty of I HE ALDINE will be most
appreciated after it has been bound up at the
close Of the year.. While other publications may
claim superior cheapness as compared with
rivals of q similar class, THE ALDINE is q
unique and original coneeption--alone and I'M
approached--absolutely without competition, in
price or character. The pOsseSsor of the volume
Just completed cannot duplicate the quantity of
fine paper and engravings in any other shape or
number of volumes for ten times its cost. -, -,
The labor of getting THE AIIDlNE ready on
the press is SO great that reprnting is out of the
question. With the exception of small num-.
Der specially reserved for binding, the edition of
1871 is already exhausted, and il is now a scarce
as well as valuable book. e.. ...r..i-' a.,..s. -

The enthusiastic support so readily accorded
to their enterprise wherever it has been intro
duced" has convinced the publishers of THE
ALDINE Of the soundness of their theory that
the American public would recognize and hearth
ly support any sincere measure 10 alleviate the
tone and standard Of Illustrated publications.
Tint 50 many weakly, wicked sheets exist and
thrive is not evidence that there is no market for
anything better-indeed the success of THE AL
DINE from the start is direct proofto the con
trary.4 With q population SO vast, and of such
varied taste, a publisher can choose his patrons,
and his paper is rather indicative Of his own than
of the TASTE of the country. AS u guarantee of
the excellence of this department. the publishers
would beg to announce during the coming year,
