The Aldine, while issued with all the reg ,
ularity, has none III the temporary or timely
interests characteristic of ordinary period
Gals 1t is an elegant miscellany of pure,
light and graceful literature and collection
OF pictures, the rarest specimens of artistic
skill, ia 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
it has been hound up at the close of the
year. While other publications may claim
superior cheapnesS. AS compared with rivals
OF similar class, The Ailine is a unique
and original eonception-alone AID u,iap-
lroac bsolutely without competition

complete volume cannot duplicate the
| quantity OF fine paper and engravings in
any other shape or plumber of volumes for
ten times its cost and then, there are the
chronles, besides!
Art Department, is7i-The illustrations
| of The Aidine have won h world- wide repl-
ton, and in the art centres of Europe it is
an admitted fact that it's wood cuts are
examples of the highest perfection ever
attained. The cssninon prejudice in favor
of 'steel plates Is rapidly yielding to a
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 delicaoy and elaborate finish
OF the most costly steel plate. while they
afford a better rendering Of the artist S
original.

The Aldine is doing for the eailse OF art
culture in America, 1t is only necessary TO
