wv FEATURES FOR 1872


The enthusiastic support so readily accorded
to their enterprise, wherever it has been intro
duced, has convinced the publishers of THE
ALDIN e of the soundness of their theory that
the American public would recognize and hearth
ly support any sincere measure TO alleviate the
tone and standard of illustrated publications
That so many weakly, wicked sheets exist and
thrive is not evidence thai there is no market for
any thing better--indeed the success of THE AL
DINE from the start is direct proof TO the con
trary. With 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 guarantee of
the excellence of this department., the publishers
woud beg to announce during the coming year,
specimens from the following eminent American
artists: r EayGtE4@ 81
