The Aldine, while issued with all the reg.
ulsrity, has none of the temporary or time
ly interest characteristic of ordinary peri
odicals. 1t Is an elegant miscellany Of pure
light and graceful literature and a collec-
ton OF pictures, the rarest specimen Of ar.
tisuc skill, in black and white. Although
each succeeding number affords hesh
pleasure to its friends, the real value ano
beauty Of The Aldine will be most appre CT
ated after II has been bound up at the close
OF the year. While other publications may
claim superior sheapness, as compared with
rivals OF similar class, the Aldine IL an IN
ique and original conception-alone and un
pproached-sbsolutely without concept"
in price or character.
