| THE ALDINE, while issued with all the regular
iy, has none of the temporary timely interest
characteristic of ordinary periodicals. II is ee-
CANT miscellany of pure, light, and graceful litera-
ture and collection of pictures, the rarest speci
mems of artistic skill in black and white. Although
each succeeding number affords fresh pleasure to
its friends the real value and beauty of The AidRe
will be most appreciated after il has been bound up
at the close of the year. While other publications
may claim superior cheapness, compared with
rivals of similar class, he A Ldine is unique and
original cOnception-AlOne and unapproached-ab-
soutely without competition in price or character.
The pOssessor OF complete volume cannot dupli-
cate the quantity Of fine paper and engravings in
any other shape or ngmber of volumes for ten tIes
it's cost aud then tbsTeare the clrOnOs, besides
ART DEPARTMENT.
Notwithstanding the increase in the price of sub
scription last Fall, when The AidiRe assumed its
present noble proportions and representativ charac-
ter, the edition WdS more than doubled during the
past year; proving that the American public appre-
cate, and will support, sincere effort in the cause
Art The publishers anxiOas TO justify the ready
confidence thus demonstrated, have exerted them
selves to the utmost 10 dcVelupe and improve the

la addition, The AIdine will reproduce examples
of the best foreign masters selected with view to

ferest; avoiding such as have become familiar,
through photographs, or copies of any kind.
The quarterly tinted plates, for 1878, will repro
duce four of John s. Davis inimable child sketches
appropriate TO the four seasons. These plates, ap
pearing in the issues for january, April July, and
October, would be alone worth the price of years
subscription.
The popular feature of q copiously Illustrated

To possess such valuable epitome of the art
world at cost 30 tnllng, viii command the sub
