NEW FEATURES FOR 1872.


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 many weakly, wicked sheets exist and
thrive is not evidence that there is no market for
anything better--indeed the success of THE Air
DINE from the start is direct proof to the con /
trary. With population SO vast and of such
varied taste, publisher can choose his patrons,
and his paper is rather indicative of his own than
of the taste of the country. As O guarantee of
the excellence of this department, the publishers
would beg to announce during the coming year,
specimens from tho following eminent American
artists:

| American taste in competition with any existing
publication in the world.
