Nor FOR SALE IN book O.. srws sroar

The Aldine, while issued with all the reg.
ularity, has none OF the temporary or time
~ interest characteristic of ordinary PERI
odicals. II Is an elegant miscellany OF pure
light and graceful literature; and collec-
ton OF pictures, the rarest specimen OF ar
ustic skill, in black and white. Although
each succeeding number affords a flesh
pleasure 70 its friends, the real value ana
beauty Of ihe Aldine will be most appreci-
ated after IL has been bound I'D at the close
OF the year. While other publications may
claim superior eheapness, as compared with
rivals OF a similar class, the Aidine is an uL-
ique and original conceptiOn--alone and I'M
proached-absolutely without concept"
in price or character.
ART DEPARTMENT. 1874.
The illustrations OF the Aidine have w
a worldwide reputation, and In the art CEN
tres OF Europe IL Is an admitted fact that
Its wood cuts are examples of the highest
perfection ever attJ med. The common
prejudice in fayOrD' "steel Plates" is rap
idly yielding 10 Il l,-,-- ieducated and dis
eliminating taste which recognizes tue adj
Vsntages the advantages of superior artistic
quality with greater facility of production.
The quarterly tinted plates for 1874 wilt be
by Thos. Moran and j. ID. Woodward.
The Christmas issue tor lSIi will contain
special designs appropriate to the season,
by our best artists, and will surpass in at
| fractions any OF its predecessors.
