ALDINE, who are striving to make thei1 pro-
fession worthy of admiration for beauty, as II
has always been for usefulness Hdrd
BeecheF
THE ALDINE, while issued with all the regu-
larity, has none of the temporary or timely in.
terest characteristic of ordinary periodicals IL
is elegant miscellany OF pure, light, and
graceful literature, and collection OF pictures,
the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in black
and white. Although each succeeding number
affords fresh pleasure to its friends, the real
| value and beauty Of THE ALDiNE viii 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 a similar class, THE ALDlNE Is
unique and original couception-alone and I'M
| pproached-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 ALDINE ready on
the press is great that reprinting, Is out OF the
question. With the exception of u small num-
Der specially reserved for binding, fhe edition OF
1871 is already exhausted, and IL is now scarce
as Well as valuable book. sr-r .-#H
