The Aldine, while issued with all the,rrg- |
ularity, has none of the temporary or timely
interests characteristic of ordinary periOdi
Gals 1t is an 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 a fresh pleasure
to its friends, the real value and beauty of
The Aldine will be most appreciated after
II has been bound up at the close of the
year. While other publications may claim
superior cheapness, as compared with riN ais
of a similar class, The Aldine is q UNIQUE
and original cOnceptiOn-alone and unap-
prOached-absOlutely without competition
in price or character. The pOssessor of
complete volume cannot duplicate the
quantity of fine paper and enSravings in
any other shape or number of volumes for
ten times it's cost and then, there are the
chrOmOs, besides!
Art Department, lS4.-The illustrations
of The Aldine have won a world wide repu-
ton, and III the art centres of Europe il is
an admitted fact that its wood cuts are
| examples of the highest perfection ever
attained. The common prejudice in favor
OF steel plates" Is rapidly yielding To q
more educated and discriminating taste
which recognizes the advantages of superior
/ artistic quality with greater facility of
production. The wood cuts of The Abide
possess all the delicacy and elaborate finish
of the most costly steel plate while they
afford better rendering of the artists
original.

culture in America, it is only necessary to
