The Aldine, while issued with all the reg.
ularity, has none of the temporary or time
ly interest characteristic OF ordinary peri.
Odicals. II Is an elegant miscellany OF pure
light and graceful literature I; and colec.
ton OF pictures, the rarest specimen of ar.
tistic skll, in black and white. Although
each succeeding number affords flesh
pleasure TO its friends, the real value ano
beauty OF lhe Aldine will be most approci-
ated after 1t has been bound up at the close
OF the year. While other publications may
claim superior eheapness, as compared with
rivals OF a similar class, the kldine Is an I'M
ique and original conception-alone and un
proached--aDsolutely without concept
In price or character.
