THE ALDINE, while issued with all the reg
ularity, has none of the temporary or timely in
terest characteristic of ordinary periodicals.
1t is an elgant miscellany Of pure, light, and
graceful lterature and collection of pic
lures, 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 ALLINE will be
most appreciated after it has been bound up at
the close of the year. While other publca-
tions may claim superior cheapness, as COM
pared with rivals of similar class, THE ALI
DINE is a unique and original conception
alone and pproached-absolutey without
competition in price or character. The posses
sor of complete volume cannot duplicate the
quantity of fine paper and engrayings in any
other shape or number of volumes for ten times
it's cost; and then, there are the chromos, be-

ART DEPARTM MT

Notwithstanding the increase in the price of
subscription last Fall when THE ALDINE as
sumed its present noble proportions and repre-
sentative character, the edition was more than
Doubled during the past year proving that
the American public appreciate, and will sup
port, a sincere effort in the cause of Art. The
publishers, anxious to justify the ready conf
dence thus demonstrated, have eXerted them
selves to the utmost to develop and improve the
work and the plans for the coming year. as
unfolded by the monthly issues, will astonish
aud delight even the most sanguine friends OF
THE ALDINE.
The publishers are authorized to announce
designs from many Of the most eminent Artists
of America. 1fI
In addition, THE ALDINE will reproduce
examples of the best foreign masters, selected
with a view to the highest artistic success, and
greatest general interest; avoiding such as
have become familiar, through photographs OF
copies of any kind.
The quarterly tinted plates, for 1878, will re.
produce four of John s. Davis inimitable child
sketches, appropriate to the four seasons.-
These plates, appearing in the issues for Janu
ary, April, and October, would be alone worth
the price of q years subscription.
| The popular feature of copiously illustra
ted "Christmas" number will be continued.
| To possess such valuable epitome of tn,
art world at a cost so trining, will command
the subscriptions of thousands in every section
| of the country but, as the usefulness and at
fractions of THE ALDINE can be enhanced
in proportion to the numbericai Increase of 1t
supporters, the publishers propose 10 make 'sas
surance doubly sure" by the following unpar
alleled offer of
