Tho Aldinc, while issued with all the reg |
ulariiy, has none Of the temporary or time |
~ interest characteristic OF ordinary peri
odicals. Ii Is an elegant miscellany Of pure
llgb, and graceful literature ; and colleC. |
ton OF pictures, the rarCst specimen Of ar
tistic skill, Ia black and white. Although |
each succeeding number alorus Il fresh |
pleasure 10 its friends, the real value and !
beauty OF The Aldne will be most appreci- |
atcd after IL has been bound up ut the close
OF the year. While other publications may
claim superior chcapness, ~ compared with
rivals OF q similar class, the Aldlne Is an un-
ique and original concepiion-alo and I'M
proached-ab,olutely without conception
in price or character.
