y The ALDlNE, while issued with all
regularity, has none Of the temporary
or timely interests characteristic Of or
dinary periodicals. 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 fresh
pleasure to its friends, The real value
and beauty Of THE ALD1NE will 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
similar class, Tue ALDINE is a unique
and original conception-alone and un-
approached-absolutely without CON-
petition in price or character. The
possessor Of a complete volume cannot
duplicate the quantity Of fine paper and
and engravings in any other shape or
number of volumes for ten times its
cost and then, there are the chromos,
besides.
ART DEPARTMENT.
Notwithstanding the increase in the
price Of subscription last Fall, when
THE ALD1NE assumed its present noble
proportions and representative charac-
ter, the edition was doubled during the
past year proving that the American
public appreciate, and will support a
sincere effort in the cause Of Art. The
publishers, anxious to justify the ready
confidence thus demonstrated, have ex-
erted themselves to the utmost to de
velope and improve the work: and the
plans for the coming year, as untolded
by the monthly issues, will astonish
and delight even the most
sanguine friend Of THE AIDINE.
The publishers are authorized to an
nounce designs from many of the most
eminent artists of America
In addition, The ALDlNt will repro
duce 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 photo
graphs or copies OF any kind.
The quarterly tinted, plate for 1873,
will reproduce four of John S Davis
inimitable child.sketches appropriate
to the four seasons, These plates, ap-
pearing in the isues for January, April
July and October, would be alone
worth the price of a years subscription.
