NEW FEATURES FOR 1872.

The enthusiastic support so readily accorded
to their enterprise, wherever it has been intro
duced, has convinced the publishers of THE
AI.DINE 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 no market for
nything better-indeed the success of THE AL
DINE from the start is direct proof to the con
trary. With a 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
would beg to announce during the coming year,
specimens from the following eminent American
artists:
GRASvIIGB PEKkrss, FRANK BEARD,
JAMES ID. SMILLIE, GEORGE III. SMILE,
WIN, HART, WIN. II. WILCOX,
F. o G. BARLEY, PAUL DIXON,
r. f. PIaUEr, AUG. WILL,
WIN. BEARD, JAMES H. BEARD,
], Hows.
These pictures are being reproduced without
regard to expense by the very best engravers in
the country, and will bear the severest critical
comparison with the best foreign worh it being
the determination of the publishers that THE
ALDINE shall be a successful yindication of
American taste in competition with any existing
publication in the world
LITERARY DEPARTMENT.
Where so much attention is paid to Illus tration
and get up OF the work, too much dependence on
appearance may very naturally be feared, To

AIDINE 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.
