The 11ldine, While issued with all the regular
ity, has none of the temporary timely inter-
es clara, tcilstic of ordinary pei ioGlcals. 1T is
elegant miscellany of pure, lie bit and grace
tu literature and a collection of pictures, the
the rarcst specimens OF artistic skill, in black
and white Although each succeeding number
atior's fresh pleasure to its friends, the real
value and beauty of The 44ldine will be most ap-
prcCluted after ii has been bound up at the close
Of the year. Whilc other publications may claim
superior cheapncss. as compared with rivals OF
similar class, The -dldine is unique and orgi-
nal ConErption-tlunc and uuappi oac hcd-abso-
iUtely withou, competition in price or character.
The posscssoI of a complete volume cannot t!u-

for ten times its cost; and then, there are the
cbromos, besides!
ART EXPERIMENT, 1874.
The illustrations Of The Aidine have won a
world wide reputation, and in the ant centres Of
Europe il is admitted fact that its wood cuts
a;e examples of the highest perfection ever at
tained- The common prejudice in favor u
steel pilates" Is rapidly yelding 10 a more ec.
uCated and discriminating taste which recog-
nIzes the Advantages OF superior artistic quality
with greater facility of pI oduction. The wood
cuts OF The -1ldi.e possess all the delicacy and
elaborate finish of the most costly steel plate,
while they afford a better rendering of the xr-
fists original.
To fully realize the wonderful work which
The I!Gine is doing for the cause cf art culture
in America, II Is only necessary TO consider the
cost to the people of any other decent leprcsen-
tatiuu OF the prod actions of great painters.
In addition 10 designs by the members of the
National Academy, and other noted American
artists, Tie 4iidine will reproduce examples of
the best foreign masters 5, selected with a view to
the highest artistic success, and greatest general
interest. Thus the subscribers to The -Aldine
will, at a tritling cost enjoy in his own home
the pleasures and refining influences of true art.
The qua teriy tinted plates TO, 1874 will be
by Thos. Moran and J. d. Woodward.
The Christmas issue for 1874 will contain spe-
cial designs appropriate to the season, by
best artists, and will surpass in attractions any
of its predecessors.
