Give my love to the artist werkmen OF THE
ALD1NE, who striving to make their pro-
fession worthy OF admiration for beauty, as II
has always been for usefulness"- Ward
Beeeher.
THE ALD1NE, while issued with all the regu.
larity, has none of the temporary timely in.
terest Characteristic of ordinary periodicals. II
Is an elegant miscellany OF pure, light, and
graceful literature, and collection Of pictures,
and white Although each succeeding s m number
affords a fresh pleasure TO its frienus, the real
value and beauty of THE ALDINE will be most
appreciated after it has been bound up at the
close Of the year. While other publication. may
claim superior cheapnees as compared with
rivals of a similar class, THE ALD1NE is a
approached-absoluteiy without competition in
price or character. The pOssessor of the volume
just completed cannot duplicate the quantity OF
fine paper and engrayings in any other shape or
number Of volumes TDr ten times tts sost. -
The labor OF getting THE ALDINE 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 Il scarce
as well rs valuable book.
.-f NEW FEATURES FOR 1879.
ART DEPARTMENT.
The enthusiastic support readily accorded
to their enterprise, wherever 1t 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 to alleviate the
tone and standard Of illustrated publications.
That so many weakly, wicked sheets exist and
thrive is not evidence that there is market for
anything better-indeed the success OF THE AL
DINE from the start is direct proof TO the con
trary. With - population no vast, and of such
varied taste, publisher can choose his pat rons,
and his paper is rather indicative of his own than
Of this taste of the country. As a guarantee Of
the excellence of this department, the publishers
wouid beg to announce during the coming year
specimens from the following eminent American
artists: - .
W. T. RICHARDS, vIoroR NrHLIe,
GRANVILLE PRRKIxs FRANK BgAnp.
JAMES ID. SMILLfB, GRoRaE II. SMILLs,
WV. HART, E.# WIN. II. WILCOX
+. o q. BARLEY, PAUL Dixon, '9#.
r. L. PIauBr, AUG. WILL,
WIZ. BEARD, JAMES H. beard,
j. Hows
These pictures are being reproduced without
regard to expense by the very best engraye in
the country, and will bear the severest critical
comparison with the best foreign work, it being
the discrimination of the publishers that THE
ALDINE shall be successful yindcation of
American taste in competition with any existing
publication in the world.
LITERARY DEPARTMENT
Where so much attention is paid TO illustration
and get up OF tho work, too much dependence on
appearance may very naturally be feared To
anticipate such misgiyings, 1t is only necessary
TO state that the editorial management Of THE
ALD1NE has been intrusted to Mr.. RICHARD
HENRY STODDARD, who has received assur-
ances Of assistance from host of the most pop
ular writers and poets OF the country.
