regularity, has none Of the temporary
or timely interests characteristic of OF.
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 a fresh
pleasure to its friends, the real value
aud beauty Of The ALDlNE 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, The ALD1NB is = unique
and original conception alone and uu-
approached absolutely without CON-
petition in price or character. The
possessor Of = complete volume cannot
duplicate the quantity Of fine paper aud
and engravings in any other shape or
number of volumes for ten times its
cost and then, there are the chromos,
besides.
