The Aldinc, while issued with all the reg.
uarity, has none Of the temporary or time
iy interest characteristic of ordinary peri
Odicals. 1t Is an elegant miscellany OF pure
light and graceful literature; and collec-
ton OF pictures, the rarest specimen OF AZ
tistic skill, in black and white. Although
each succeeding number AFFORDS & esh
pleasure to its friends, the real value and
beauty OF The Aldine will be most appreci-
ated after IL has been bound up ut the close
OF the year. While other publications msy
claim superior eheapness, US compared with
rivals of a similar class, the Aldine Is an UNI
ique and original conceptiOn--alone and UNI
proached-absolutely without concept :
In price or character.
