The Cairo bulletin. [volume] (Cairo, Ill.) 1872-1878, 1874-07-19

The Aldine, while issued with all the reg.
ulsrity, has none OF the temporary or time
ly interest characteristic of ordinary per-.
odicals. IL Ii an eleg ant miscellany OF pure
light and graceful literature and a collec.
ton OF pictures, the rarest specimen of ar.
tistic skill, in black and white. Although
each succeeding number affords u fiesh
pleasure TO its friends, the real value and
| beauty OF ihe Aldine will be most apprsci-
ated after 1t has been bound up at the close
OF the year. While other publications may
claim superior ehespness, as compared with
rivals OF a similar class, the Aldine is an I'M
ique and original conception--alone and un
proached-aosolutely without concept"
| in price or character.
